<p>This is a very condescending toward Vietnamese tech people. According to Twitter/X, Vietnam’s GDP just surpassed Thailand and it’s on its way to joining the Great East Asian prosperity zone by becoming the last country to become fully industrialized and very rich. Many tech jobs in the US will move to Vietnam in the coming few years. You will be surprised where your future Tech conferences will be located.</p>

<p>Replying to JumpCrisscross response below:<p>>> Negative racial stereotype as a definition of racism is the classical definition of racism<p>>It wasn’t racial stereotyping. It was stereotyping a country’s population as sad and desperate. Saying X country’s quality of life sucks isn’t racist.<p>>If they’d said or implied Cambodian Americans are also sad and desperate, sure. But they didn’t.<p>This is a distinction without a difference. A negative stereotype about the people of a country is a stereotype about that country's dominant ethnic group. Their geographic location is irrelevant.<p>By this logic, saying "All Japanese people are [X]" is not a racial stereotype as long as you're only talking about the ones in Japan. It only magically becomes a racial stereotype when they are "Japanese Americans." This doesn't make sense.<p>There's a fundamental difference between:<p>Criticizing a state: "Cambodia's economy is struggling and its government is corrupt."
Stereotyping a people: "The people of Cambodia are inherently sad and desperate."
The original comment did the latter. That is, by definition, a negative ethnic stereotype.</p>

<p>> Saying we can’t negatively stereotype basically says you can only have positive opinions about this country<p>This logical fallacy is a False Dichotomy (also known as a False Dilemma or Black-and-White Fallacy).<p>This fallacy occurs when an argument incorrectly presents two opposing options as the only possibilities, when in fact a wide range of other options exist.<p>How it applies to the statement:
The statement "Saying we can’t negatively stereotype basically says you can only have positive opinions about this country" creates a false choice between:<p>Option A: Engaging in negative stereotypes.
Option B: Only having positive opinions.
This completely ignores the vast and reasonable middle ground, which is legitimate, specific criticism.</p>

<p>How and where in the Merriam-Webster are these supposed to be measures of “desperation”? Where is the citation for Cambodians going to work in Vietnam and not the other way around?<p>Also, cherry picking PPP GDP instead of commonly used nominal GDP to avoid conceding a point is quite desperate. Cambodia has a higher GDP per capita than Bangladesh but you won’t admit that. Can you buy a barrel of crude oil with PPP dollar? Also, you haven’t admitted that you are clueless about the current Bangladesh political and economic mess.

<p>Yes, I agree the US is an a great country. The US culture is still the most influential in the world. Everyone loves American foods, movies, and consumer products.<p>Cambodians love American culture. Young Cambodians are desperate to see new American movies, try American foods, and get their hands on new Apple products. They love Facebook. The majority of Cambodians favor the US over China:

The most likely reason I guess would that a very large percentage of Thais claim some form of Chinese ancestry.</p>

<p>Citations needed for almost everything you just wrote.<p>On the other hand, South Korea has the right to do whatever it wants within its rights. I strongly support South Korea in its geo-strategic calculus to isolate Cambodia government. They must have very good reason to believe this is the right course of actions.<p>Cambodian government should learn from this experience and improve its law enforcement and its own geo-strategic planning.<p>> There is no reason why Cambodia can't pull off a similar developmental story like Vietnam or Bangladesh<p>Again with the Bangladesh comparison. Can you google Bangladesh and read news about it in the last year before commenting?</p>

<p>We would assume that the time-space traveler would have to tell the machine both the time and space directions from their current position in time and space. Assuming the time-space traveler cannot stop to observe his or her “location” in time-space coordinate along the way in small increments, he would have to calculate the entire travel trajectory beforehand.<p>I am saying this trajectory calculation relative to current coordinates is impossible. Even modern satellites with super precise instruments still need regular ongoing “adjustments.” Time travel requires many order of magnitude more precision than satellite orbital maintenance.</p>
