There has been news recently about a potential agreement between India and Taiwan regarding sending 100k Indians to Taiwan to perform blue collar migrant worker jobs as there is a current shortage.
There were recent polls conducted on Dcard/PTT and the public sentiment has been increasingly negative and xenophobic, with 80-90% opposing this and stating that Indian men are rapists. Over 2000 people participated in the polls.
I used to like Indian girls in high school, but a lot of them were daughters of millionaires and billionaires, and are very elitist and hard to be friends with.
Maybe this will increase the pool of indian women here who arenāt elites.
I saw a news about how this will cause housing price to go up.
I kind of ignored the comments, but more than 2000 people participated in the polls and the results are very very negative. Still possible that most are robots or paid votes, but given personal experience I doubt that the results would differ drastically if we removed those purchased votes.
There was a study somewhere that the most compatible personalities between a couple are a Chinese man and Indian woman. Canāt find the study anymore.
I came across an Indian man who said he was from Agra at the park in Taichung. He was pushing a little girl not much older that my daughter on the swing.
I started chatting to him and he was very friendly. Then her mom came overā¦ and she was horrified and pulled her daughter away.
He casually power walks away and then I ask the mom if he was the girls dadā¦ Turned out, nope he was just some strangerā¦
I am not saying all Indians a like this, but my god! It is either he is very ignorant or very brazen
Sana Hashmi has been posting about this issue on twitter. Is Taiwan ready for blue collar workers from India?
What caught my attention earlier was the Taiwan governmentās stated preference, as negotiations are going forward, that these workers come from Indiaās northeast, which shares some ācultureā with us in Taiwan. By that I presume that were simply saying: they are not dark brown people therefore thatās better.
I hope youāre not implying that thereās anything wrong with the people expressing their own opinion and being against forceful cultural enrichment in the form of 100k foreigners from far far away. If the people donāt want it, and this is supposed to be a democracy btw, why should they be forced to accept it? This has just trudeau vibes.
Its more about being anti-Indian than anti-immigration isnāt it?
In China they are even worse. In the short time I lived there I heard all kinds of insults aimed at them. I mean they were insulting everyone but i never heard something like Japanese and Koreans are stinky and a refusal to eat their food.
