Why doesn't (poor?) SE Asian families hug?

[sglad]

On a daily basis I see kids at restaurants, coffee shops, supermarket aisles running rampant, shouting and screaming, while These kids are speaking (shouting) in Vietnamese or Thai or Khmer and their little eyes look very Asian to me.

A racist statement from someone who freely admits that he moved to Vietnam because he wouldn't get a second glance from young men back home, perhaps because those big bright blue eyes are able to see him for exactly what he is.
