Discrimination

These were my responses to somebody on Reddit who was asking if tourists and expats experienced discrimination while in Thailand.

In general, everywhere, people discriminate against others: in-group vs. out-group.  Hopefully it's not too overt and hurtful.  No doubt some experience it worse than others.  In the end, humans are more tribal than we like to admit.  

Traveling does often help you curb your own impulses to discriminate, in general, whether on the road or back home.  The reason is because many times you have had the experience of being a minority.  You can empathize.
