Right - having read that, my use of "politically correct" was not what you've laid out and I've used an inaccurate term to describe what I want to say. When in Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand, there is a sense that people look out for themselves. The govt is there, however they aren't there to make sure you wear your seat belt, tuck in your shirt, etc. Sure there is an exercised control over media/news and ensuring the message about the government is inline with what the government wants. I'm not referring to this. I'm referring to the: the photo is there, I don't have to look at it if I don't like it. I'll call you a foreigner, because you are. I'll call you white, because you are. Referring to people relating to each other. The people are most interested in themselves and their families rather than what other people are up to. The opposite of the American way "how dare you exist and offend me, I'll sue you!!" - whatever this is... Cheers for taking the time to re-define what Politically Correct actually means :)
