This article is about how Thais relate to dark skin, and how the election of a dark skinned US President has changed the thinking among those who share his complexion.

"Southerners, Farmers Rejoice at Obama Victory New hope for Thais with dark skin

Farmers, fishermen, urban laborers, rubber tappers and those just "born that way" celebrated wildly yesterday throughout Thailand as the United States elected its first African-American president, Barack Obama.

The victory has inspired Thais ostracized for having dark skin.

Farmers in Khon Kaen gathered at the rice field of Krit Leerasuk to drink rice whiskey and discuss years of hardship caused by a culture that idealizes white skin as beautiful."

Thats a understatement, being that I live in Thailand you can see the jab and humor involved with this Satire about it. Sad thing is damn near 100% of the Thai’s are happy that YO BUMMA was elected cause they have not a clue as to what America is or at least was at one time about.
