Deciding as to whether or not a particular name is offensive or not surely must depend a lot on context. It is ok for a black guy to call his friend a nigger but offensive if a non black guy uses the so called ‘N’ word.

Is the word ‘farang’ offensive? As I am the most politically incorrect creation that was ever shat into existence should I really care? You make your own mind up. If using a name to describe a person by race and stereoptypical beliefs is offensive to you like “Nigger, Spick, Wop or Kike” then I reckon ‘Farang’ is offensive. If not I suggest you are a biggot.

The Farang is a white man. The name does not apply to other races and is never used to describe just a foreigner as so many people state.

The Farang appears in advertisements here, unable to consume spicy food and of course always wanting to fight. The Thais are quite amazed when they see that Da Wizard can eat spicy food and always comment in wonderment as to his ability to consume Thai food. Thais forget that it is not us; the cosmopolitan well traveled who are limited in their ability to eat food.

When they hear Ralph talking to Da Wizard in her native Asian tongue they always assume that she is speaking French. The Nigger couldn’t possibly have learned another language!!! How scary a multi lingual Nigger would be?

DW was climbing out of his pool yesterday and a local kid who shares the same cave complex was smiling at him. The pool attendant pointed and educated the aforementioned Rug Rat ‘Farang Farang!!’ The Rat just looked and smiled his first lesson in racism complete.

Nigger or Farang take your pic! You choose too as to whether you wish to be offended by the terms. I think there are more important things in the world to worry about that than just now!!
