Coming soon to Taiwan? Rise of xenophobia towards Westerners

Marco · April 1, 2020, 4:12am

Sorry. I might have been a bit unclear. There is no law or directive asking businesses to require passport usage.

tando · April 1, 2020, 4:13am

people in someone’s home are supposed to follow the rules set for the home, regardless of they are residents or guests.

tando · April 1, 2020, 4:15am

it could be a false rumor?

Marco · April 1, 2020, 4:15am

I was kind of implying you cant like…

Force someone to do illegal or immoral things just cause you are in their home.

tando · April 1, 2020, 4:17am

I meant people in Taiwan should follow the rules of Taiwan, and Taiwan’s rules say discrimination is illegal in a fluffy way.

I completely agree with you. Except that I think an explanation is good to have so you don’t end up hating everyone. Chinese were attacked all over the world also, it’s not a local problem to me.

Well-said, ha.

tando · April 1, 2020, 4:33am

I sometimes learn a new word here.

I looked at their post again and it seems in the Chinese version they don’t mention being told to do it by the government, but in the English version they do say that. Makes it seem more like some lame excuse

Why did a mod change the name of my post to include what is ethnicity ? The thread may have derailed a bit but that’s not my original title.

Brianjones · April 1, 2020, 4:49am

It would be better to split wouldn’t it. Lot of work.

the_bear · April 1, 2020, 4:53am

Not a mod. Any regular can change the title.

tando · April 1, 2020, 4:54am

it won’t become like this anytime soon in Taiwan.

yardman · April 1, 2020, 5:06am

Well someone change it back. Don’t need this thread hijacked

the_bear · April 1, 2020, 5:11am

Steady on there Nigel.

Marco · April 1, 2020, 5:28am

No. It’s just the boss attempting to say whatever they can to reach their objective.

Where are you getting this pie graph? Please provide a link, unless your making it yourself.

I posted it last time:

I’ve yet to knowingly experience racism against white people. I’m not the sort who tolerates someone spraying my clothes before entering a supermarket, which might have an impact. The way people carry themselves is significant IMO

I asked my daughter whether she’s experienced anything at school and she said that some boys from a different grade were teasing her in her magic class. She doesn’t want me to sort it out, though.

I’m sure racism is there. It is everywhere. I just don’t consider it to be a significant issue.

tempogain · April 1, 2020, 5:34am

Yeah, I misinterpreted this when I originally considered changing it back. Restored original. Better yet, “Westerner” seems to reflect it most accurately. Uhh I also split this.
