I wish to relate how national unity can be compromised. Had a FT manager previously. Not to be racial but he is Northern Indian type. Stayed in condo here, and to build bridges with locals, invited peers and subordinates for house-warming.
While he seemingly mingled easily with his local guests, his entire family seemingly shiver in one corner ?a defensive circle if I ever saw one. Perhaps they were shy, or not comfortable with our language, etc?/p> Suddenly, his 5-6 year old son shouted: 揥hy are all these people here? Chinese people are stupid! Why are stupid people here??About 95% of the guests were Chinese. Can really hear a pin drop then.
FT boss: 揌a, Ha, don抰 know what children picked up at kindergarten nowaday. Lots of rubbish. Ha, ha.?(Kid was then attending a special school more suitable for his 揷ulture? not a public one).
Kid: 揘o papa. You and grandpa said ALL Chinese are stupid. Why are they in our house now??Very embarassing for everyone.
FT boss: 揘o , one of your friends MUST have mentioned it to you. Ha, Ha. kids say all kind of things nowadays.?(No attempts to tell kid that Chinese are NOT stupid, or that saying such things are rude, offensive).
Kid: Looking at family members for support, confused and indignified ?揋randpa say what you always tell me. Papa, tell them they are stupid.?/p> I wondered: how do WE integrate such people?? Which fools are warmly welcoming such talents? What procedures are currently used to effectively screen out such smiling tigers? This is a true story, I can recall at least 20 witnesses.
