I am concerned that some (most?) of your comments regarding people of other cultures and countries have normative connotations, e.g., reckless Thai motorcycle drivers, idiot Thai water manufacturers who are unable to appropriately label bottled water so as to appeal to Western tastes, people who carve sculptures of one monkey holding another's penis in his/her hand.
Same tone, I think: "Ha Ha, Dumb Thais."
Please provide your ancestral heritage, perhaps there are some things there we can make fun of.
The Dr. is equally snarky to people of all cultures. And, trust me, he saves his most cutting comments for his fellow Americans.
Your suspicion is misplaced. The Doctor travels throughout the world. He's curious and observant. I don't see any widespread condemnation of Thai people or culture. Just a view observations of a traveller, well-aware that he's interpretiung what he sees from his American point-of-reference.
Lighten up and enjoy the occasional carved monkey dick.
Here's a hint: when experiencing cultures other than your own, filter everything through a completely non-ethnocentric perspective. That way, you won't offend (or concern) any readers by having coherent experiences or looking at or talking about anything that interests you. On an upcoming trip to the Greek Islans, I plan on unlearning the color blue, so that I won't bring any of my cultural biases to the table while seeing things in that color range. Also I will forget English, because if Greek sounds different to me than English, that might be interpereted as xenophobia. So therefore I intend to communicate mainly by jacking-off monkeys.
I've actually visited Boogeria and the people there are apparently part of some international banking conspiracy, to hear the neighboring Nosepickerians tell it, but they're actually the sweetest, most generous people I've ever shared a cell with.
Funny. I am pretty sure generalizing people who you might think are racist or ignorant as "republican" is also a form of bigotry. And I, for one, am sick as fuck of hearing the terms "democrat" and "republican" and "red" and "blue" as ways to describe people and their belief systems. The terms democrat and republican and red and blue don't even mean anything anymore except symbols for the extremists we all hate.
And incidentally, it seems there is only one person on this here thread who is bigoted and ignorant. And as usual in this world, it's the knee-jerker screaming judgement at others.
Now, indeed, basta! I want to discuss wanking monkeys! I don't care who carved them. They are fantastic. Discuss... and let my own hands wander.

Funny,
The Sysmistress and I were looking for a safe word.
This'll do, just fine.

Dude, monkeys holding each other's penises are funny. Lighten up.

Thanks for the heads up (no pun intended); i shall pack extra wet-naps.
Wow.
Doctor Moronic has many defenders.
I probably have this wrong, but what you seem to be saying is that it is OK to make fun of other cultures.
I didn't realize that you guys were "Republicans."
Thanks,
Booger
Booger,
I didn't realize you were an "idiot."
Please provide a list of where we can read your writing, so we, too, can make wild-assed, judgmental statements implying that you're a racist.
Thanks,
Sysm
Shit, I'm late to the party.
I've actually visited Boogeria and the people there are apparently part of some international banking conspiracy, to hear the neighboring Nosepickerians tell it, but they're actually the sweetest, most generous people I've ever shared a cell with.
Friends: your kind words warm my black heart more than a steaming plate of piquant monkey-dicks.
Booger: you were KO'd by BA in the first round. ¡Basta!
What the hell is going on around here?
Did someone call you a republican? The world has turned upside down.

Are you calling me bigoted and ignorant, Harpy? Because I'm all for a vicious hair-pulling cat fight.
Wait, I just got my hair done today. Never mind.
Did somebody say "cat fight?" I'm in!
Oh yeah, Tits? That's just what I'd expect from a Whig.
Or a Bull Moose.
Living in a Yellow-tinged Green State with Purple Polka Dots.
Typical Whig-Moose Yellow-Green nonsense.
Um, I was just hoping I might get a chance to rip off your bikini top and take a peek at your cupcakes.
For that, you have to attend my $1,000 a plate fundraising dinner.
Shit. I'm broke.
