I used to have very strong feelings against Thai people, especially red T-shirt people [note: the UDD party].
My heart was torn and feelings of anger overtook me whenever I heard another Cambodian was killed by Thai soldier. I hated them. I wanted to kill them if I saw them on the street. I thought that all Thai are bad people.
But having attended CRT course, particularly the lessons on identity, stereotyping and discrimination, helped to heal me and released me from the bitterness and pain. I am now able to see that not all the Thai are bad people, just a few of those who committed crime only.
