[quote=“Gryphon”]Technically, OP, you can sue him for harassment AND public insult. AND also get him fired (probably) from his company. [law.moj.gov.tw/eng/LawClass/LawA … e=D0080067](http://law.moj.gov.tw/eng/LawClass/LawAll.aspx?PCode=D0080067) See Article 89.2 Also see this thread: [Flipped the bird, charged under Taiwan's "public insult" law](http://tw.forumosa.com/t/flipped-the-bird-charged-under-taiwans-public-insult-law/60661/1) You probably won’t get much from suing him though, unless the judge decides to fine based on the length of time and the number of times he insulted you. Plus, you’ll probably make him an enemy for life. [/quote] Meh, I’d do it. It’s not like the guy wants to go fishing with him and share a smoke. [quote=“Rocket”] Blue collar dudes. Hate and fear people who look/talk different from them. Complain about them taking jobs. Complain about them taking local women. This place is JUST LIKE HOME!!! :discodance:[/quote] Which doesn’t make it remotely acceptable. [quote=“thesublimenakedfairy”]I don’t know why, but this upset me quite a bit. Having been here for 12 years, I have never experienced anything like this. I always believed the locals treat us foreigners with decency and respect. But maybe it is a smokescreen, and maybe the Taiwanese are just as racist as any other people. For the most part, maybe they are just good at hiding (suppressing) it. And I would not have handled it as well as OP did. Kudos. .[/quote] It upset me too. And I’m also not sure how I’d have handled it. --- _[View the full topic](https://tw.forumosa.com/t/taipei-mrt-racist/88375)._
