Adding fuel to the laowai fire -- some idiot in Taoyuan

My life in Taiwan is plenty fine, and I get to travel plenty for work and leisure, its just that all the Facebook vitriol, media vitriol and forums vitriol towards foreigners has really got me down. THE GUY IS A LOCAL, but people are still using this to shit on foreigners. I guess I have been blind to how much hate there actually is here towards foreigners, and that has made me re-examine things.

I’m embarassed. This guy’s making ABCs/Americans/Foreigners look bad.
What a fucking idiot.
Apparently he pushed the stop bell too late and the driver missed his stop. I hope homie gets charged with something and deported.

Though I like your title better, there is a thread on this.

It does look like someone (OP) woke up late and missed the bus entirely :slight_smile:

I’m embarrassed that the OP can be so slow. next he’ll discover some crazy cat memes and share them with us. :sunglasses:

Not necessarily blind. Xenophobia is not a static condition and it is not surprising to me that given all the problems Taiwan is facing now that it is rearing its head. I think it is wrong to think that we have been unaware of all this hate before that was just below the surface.

What?! There are crazy cat memes on the internet? :astonished: /s

My apologies. I can definitely see “Say Sorry!” becoming a thing.

And Michael Jackson to you too.
Is that supposed to be the guy’s name or something?

Tell me about it. I mean, just cause a few stupid aliens goes around doing cattle mutilations :flog: and abducting people doesn’t mean we’re all bad. :frowning:

And the guy’s swearing’s all wrong:

Try Hungarian for some real insults.

Spoilered for extreme language.

There is a lot of hidden text.
Say sorry!

Say sorry… Taiwan’s kindergarten education.
American would say… you’d better apologize.
And fuck you in the last sentence as a final conclusion, instead of saying bye bye.

Even this latina uses the “fuck you” in a kind of correct way.

I can’t believe nobody has referred to Bus Uncle… 我有壓力, 你有壓力.

[quote=“Wikipedia”]The Bus Uncle is a Cantonese YouTube viral video clip of a quarrel between two men aboard a bus in Hong Kong on 27 April 2006. While the older man, who came to be nicknamed the Bus Uncle, scolded the man seated behind him, a nearby passenger used a camera phone to record the entire incident. The resulting six-minute video[1] was uploaded to the Hong Kong Golden Forum, YouTube, and Google Videos. The clip became YouTube’s most viewed video in May 2006,[2] attracting viewers with its rhetorical outbursts and copious use of profanity by the older man, receiving 1.7 million hits in the first 3 weeks of that month.[3]

The video became a cultural sensation in Hong Kong, inspiring vigorous debate and discussion on lifestyle, etiquette, civic awareness and media ethics within the city, eventually attracting the attention of the media around the world.[/quote]

And Michael Jackson to you too.
Is that supposed to be the guy’s name or something?[/quote]

Pretty sure he’s just throwing names out there because PTT netizens had already identified him as “Jason”

Everyone knows he’s a local, but still considers him foreign because there was zero trace of local etiquette in his actions.

I really think some of you should read/translate the Taiwanese forum posts and Apple articles, get your facts straight, before you jump to the last post and make assumptions.

Putting all the news articles and forum posts together, one of the things that has bothered me is his wife goes in for a check up and waits 4 hours, this guy states to his security guard in his complex that he makes a lot of money, but he ends up taking the bus home. Please tell me I’m not the only one that has added the two up and realized how they don’t match up. If he’s making dough, why not take a taxi? They’re not as many in Taoyuan as Taipei? It’s amazing that you only have to memorize 5 numbers to call for one or use your 24K gold plated iPhone app to call for one.

In light of that thought, if he’s so well off, buy a damn car. Too afraid to drive in northern Taiwan? GTFO. Big muscles, small penis status. :fume: :fume:

My life in Taiwan is plenty fine, and I get to travel plenty for work and leisure, its just that all the Facebook vitriol, media vitriol and forums vitriol towards foreigners has really got me down. THE GUY IS A LOCAL, but people are still using this to shit on foreigners. I guess I have been blind to how much hate there actually is here towards foreigners, and that has made me re-examine things.[/quote]

Both attitudes coexist. There is the nice, sometimes way too nice, side towards foreigners. Then there is the bubble, fortress racist/xenophobic attitude. Then there are normal people, who basically react to the situation, not the image of the person. And the press, which has an agenda of its own and likes to play up stuff for $$$.

And we as foreigners are also guilty of not so friendly attitudes. Example: When you react all huff and puff because someone speaks to you in English, without knowing you have a PhD in Classical Chinese Literature, you are the one making a fool of yourself. Unless you hang the degree from your neck like a pendant, no one will know, from just looking at you, that you speak Chinese.

I’m confused.

Jeremy Lin: Born in California, to Taiwanese parents who emigrated to the States in the '70’s, who in turn were the offspring of Chinese immigrants. Has lived in the states all of his life, holds an American passport. Does not hold a Taiwanese passport. National hero and darling of Taiwan.

“Jumped up” Jason: Born in Taiwan. Holds a ROC passport. Ethnically Chinese. Lives in Taiwan with his Taiwanese wife. Nasty Foreigner.

Unbelievable logic.

Exactly my thought. Why don’t just take a taxi? Oh wait… that might be dangerous. Try throwing a tantrum like that in a taxi. That might not be a good idea.

If the taxi is not under a taxi company. He’s pretty much screwed.

Here’s Charlie Parker, playing I’ve Got Rhythm, a song written by a Jewish composer, in 1946, at the height of apartheid in the United States.

The overuse of the word foreigner in the media and in regular life is just proof that Taiwan is still a provincial backwater. Sorry, I love it, but it’s provincial.

“Foreigner” means anyone who is not Taiwanese. That’s about 7 billion people last time I checked. So basically, whenever a person from 99.9% of anywhere in the world does something, it’s inherently newsworthy. Because people here so rarely actually get to connect to the outside world.

(I can imagine a voice saying somewhere: “But this isn’t the outside world, this is Taiwan!” It’s like a floating island somewhere disconnected from the rest of the planet sometimes.)

Out of frustration last night, I posted this to Facebook. (Translation later)

一來,他根本不是老外,他比林書豪還要台灣人

二來,就算他是老外,那又怎樣?難到一個壞蛋就代表全球所有的蛋都壞掉了嗎?該罵的是只有Jason夫婦兩個人。

三來,請不要基於討厭這個人渣(不過討厭他確實是應該的)就全面反對台灣人跟外國人交往。台灣女性不需要大男人來保護,相信她們完全可以為自己思考,做自己的決定。

總之:外國人也是人,女人也是人,請把人當人看,不要再散播仇恨的種子,謝謝
