iHaTePiNk.com! - The Weirdest Discrimination Ever
oh the blinding pinkness
 
 Monday, May 20, 2002
Just got this as a response from one of my apps:
I regret to tell you that the experience of hiring someone who looks Asian, even though they have excellent English, is one that the Director does not wish to repeat.

This must sound unkind to you, and I regret having to say it.


Maybe discrimination is a fundamental human need that settles people's own insecurities. In a country with many cultures and colors, it is easy to discriminate based on skin color. But in Taiwan, they discriminate between "Chinese" and "Taiwanese", even tho we all have yellow skin and slanty eyes. This is a new one. The students hold the misconception that a Chink like them could not possibly have the same, if not better, English ability as someone with blond hair and blue eyes. Instead of welcoming me with open arms for growing up and assimilating into a culture that they all want so badly to be a part of, I am shunned.

[shrug] I have a better offer right now than they had anyways. So ptbtpbhtphbtphbtphbt on them! nyeh nyeh nyeh nyeh nyeh! hehe.

I have a copy of the PRC's Constitution, do you want to take a look at it? It stated that all citizens of PRC are equal... wait, you are not a citizen of PRC... your are Canadian... ok... nevermind.||20020526||1||02:13||Tom Hanks||
