Luk khrueng (original) (raw)
Luk khrueng (Thai: ลูกครึ่ง, literally "half-child") is a colloquial Thai term referring to a person whose parents are of different nationalities. In a narrow sense, luk khrueng means people of mixed Thai and foreign origin; a person of mixed Thai and Chinese origin is called luk chin, rather than luk khrueng. In the modern era, many luk khrueng are born of relationships and marriages when Westerners come to live and to work in Thailand or when Thai people go to study in Western or foreign countries.

| dbo:abstract | Luk khrueng (Thai: ลูกครึ่ง, literally "half-child") is a colloquial Thai term referring to a person whose parents are of different nationalities. In a narrow sense, luk khrueng means people of mixed Thai and foreign origin; a person of mixed Thai and Chinese origin is called luk chin, rather than luk khrueng. In the mid-20th century the number of luk khrueng increased dramatically following World War II, with the increasing number of Western residents and visitors to the country. Many were the children of American servicemen who moved to the country in the 1960s and the 1970s, when there were several large U.S. military bases in the country because of the Vietnam War. While some of the servicemen formed lasting relationships with Thai women, some luk khrueng were the product of temporary relationships with "rented wives" or sex workers, a fact that led to some discrimination in that era. Some Thais were also hostile because of the perceived lack of racial purity but most were quite accepting. In the modern era, many luk khrueng are born of relationships and marriages when Westerners come to live and to work in Thailand or when Thai people go to study in Western or foreign countries. In more recent generations, luk khrueng have become accepted and even embraced by society and many luk khrueng have carved out a prominent role in the entertainment industry in which their often-fluent English and their Caucasian features (such as fair skin, larger or colored eyes and allegedly tall physique), which are deemed attractive in Thai culture, have proved to be advantageous. Within teenage culture these features are also extremely popular. (en) Luk khrueng (em tailandês: ลูกครึ่ง, literalmente "meia-criança") é um termo coloquial tailandês que se refere a uma pessoa que tem pais de diferente nacionalidade. O termo é mais utilizado para pessoas com ancestralidade tailandesa e branca. Na metade do século XX, o número de luk khrueng cresceu dramaticamente do período que seguiu a Segunda Guerra Mundial, junto com o crescimento de residentes e turistas ocidentais na Tailândia. Muitas dessas crianças eram filhos de soldados americanos que chegaram ao país nos anos 1960 e anos 1970, quando havia muitas bases militares americanas no país. Enquanto alguns dos soldados formavam relacionamentos duradouros com mulheres tailandesas, alguns luk khrueng foram produtos de relacionamentos temporários com "esposas alugadas" ou prostitutas, um fato que levou a discriminação de algumas destas pessoas na época. Alguns tailandeses também eram hostilizados pela percepção de "falta de pureza racial", mas outros eram tolerantes. Na atualidade, muitos luk khrueng são frutos de relacionamentos e casamentos entre ocidentais que vão para a Tailândia para morar ou a trabalho ou de tailandeses que vão estudar no Ocidente ou em outros países. Nas gerações mais recentes, os luk khrueng tornaram-se altamente aceitos e até muito acolhidos pela sociedade e vários luk khrueng têm uma participação proeminente na indústria do entretenimento, onde a frequente fluência na língua inglesa e seus traços caucasianos(tais como a cor da pele, os olhos grandes e altura maior que dos asiáticos) são considerados atraentes na cultura tailandesa, provando-se que a mistura étnica é vantajosa. Muitos tailandeses acham os luk khrueng muito atraentes por causa dos traços e os mesmos têm alta receptividade na cultura jovem e popular do país. (pt) |
