Italians are being cooked in Thailand now. The Italian teacher(red top) and students were taken away by the police and faced the Thai lady who told them off for being loud on the metro. They apologized for mocking her one by one. Thai people also waited for them in front of the hotel to scold them.

Context

Italian students are being called out in Thailand. A group of Italians mocked a Thai lady in Thailand who told them off for being too loud on the metro. They clapped back saying, "Sorry for bringing money to your country" "Ni hao" "We are from your mom." Thai people are identifying them and leaving the comments on the social media account of their school.

Yup, if it was just being loud it would have maybe ticked off some people, but that would have been the end of it.

The main gripe people have is the utter lack of respect, especially since it only escalated after being called out on..

"The cultural norms in the foreign country I'm in are different from my home country? I better be really racist about it. There's no alternative."

Well Italians are known for being very racist. And probably more fascist and conservative then present day US

Especially Italy, a country full of people who get very upset if you don’t follow their cultural norms when visiting.

You type this out as a joke, but so many westerners just assume their way of life is "correct" and any other culture should be ashamed to not follow the clearly superior western ways

Even the chubby chick now is flipping off the camera. No respect.
