Talk:Luk kreung
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Is Tiger Woods luk kreung?
- No. According to my sources, luk kreung have to be half-Thai, half-falang. Woods isn't half anything. Markyour words 16:50, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
Sure he is; he's half Thai, half American ("falang dam," to be exact). And the definition here simply says that a luk kreung's parents are of different races. Exitr 03:07, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
- No, because his parents were not whole anything. Markyour words 10:48, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
And who is whole anything? Except for a few isolated pockets of genetic homogeneity, everyone is a hybrid. And again, the definition says parents of different races, not of two individually "pure" races. Exitr 17:01, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
- No, everyone is not a hybrid. Luk Kreung means half white, half Thai. Capiche? Sorrowek 05:48, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
- Someone (probably me) wrote the definition as a rough guide to the meaning- it's not an official definition suitable for deep analysis. As far as 'wholeness' goes, the concept of the luk krueng is a product of Thai racial prejudices, and by definition illogical. Looking for reasonable definitions or rationales will get you nowhere.
