Trainer on Aussie racism!

Gedanken SG

That's your problem right there. You simply don't know how to work with people. Doesn't matter if you're in Australia, the US or Botswana.

If you find that everyone you meet is difficult to work with, it's plain common sense to start looking at the one common factor in all of the problems - you.

☃® SG

yes kind of right, almost everywhere there will be people who are difficult to work with. and btw its not only asian who face such problems in australia, the local folks ( aussies) there face them too. many times u can hear them complaining about their own people. So u are no exception just because u r asian. the problem is as singaporean u did not face such things here in singapore before and when u went to oz, it came as a shock.

i know tons of singaporeans who migrated there and r happy.. i guess its all in yrself.

☃® SG

The important thing is in aus, u dont need to depend on anyone around u, the govt helps u financially , that alone is good enuff. i knw of people from refugee countries who r happy there, they live on social security and even own cars in aus. So stop complaining about restaurants not serving u. Like as if in singapore they serve u like king.

☃® SG

yes,,,,,it depends on that person if they like u or not...mostly EQ instead of IQ.the aussies are not ready for the racism equality thing yet.they accept indians that perhaps resemble their european mainly in the skull structure similarities.can we blame them??but their girls talk to you nicely and tend to be more helpful than the guys....dont know why.

but yes i hate to say it but there is rascism of some form from trying to buy hardware at Bunnings to trying to get simple mechanical components in oz itself even from Radioshack australia.oh well....at least thru those difficulties i have found alternate cheaper ways with more variety from overseas due to their short comings.its rather a blessing in disguise in some way or another.

i never faced racism when buying things, in fact they served me like king. I think u must know how to talk and pass off as a local aussie born.

Knowing how to talk is one thing, but passing off as a local aussie born? You are actually supporting the statement that Aussies are racist with that. U mean that if we don't pass off as a local, we will no longer be treated as a King? :)

How dare you let a sensible question get in the way of a perfectly good bullshit theory! Let the man continue!

Geek, it's easy to say you can "feel" something, but until you can quantify it, it doesn't exist - simple rules of logic.

=) Haha.. Yah I know you can't quantify it. But look at it this way:

Most of the time shareprices fluctuate because of what its investors FEEL about the company. Its still speculation. Yes you can quantify the company performance or things like that but one rumour is enough to destroy all that wonderful performance. Again, this is based on feelings.

My point is, feelings play an important rule in everything. You just can't quantify certain things. And I wonder how you will begin to quantify racism.

You can see the acts these buffoons commit on Indian students there. I personally know several stories. And I do have many friends studying in USA, London, China and even in Ukraine, but I've rarely and if not, never heard of any such horrible and disgusting racism stories coming from those lands.

And it can easily be effected economically because the country depends quite heavily on education industry. If not the Australian PM would not have run to India to apologise and reassure them that Indians will be taken care of in their country.

The fact is, it is a racist country.

I am only guessing that you might have absolutely no idea about the Indian student's plight in that country.

Considering that I've been living in Melbourne since 1994, I'd say your guess is somewhat off the mark.

Now I don't know about the abuse that the Indian students have been receiving. I am aware of what they report happened, I have seen how they made a mess of things at Flinders Street station which is 5 minutes' walk from my office, but I have not seen any such abuse with my own two eyes.

Maybe these incidents do happen - after all, it's unrealistic to expect a complete lack of racism in any country. However, after 15 years here, I have not experienced any form racism whatsoever, and if Australia's meant to be as racist as you say it is, I'd find it really hard to believe that I've been so lucky as to sail through 15 years without a single incident.

☃® SG

i lived in australia for 3 years and has not experienced any single incident. But i can say is things like the ind student attack dont happen without reason. These ind student sometimes like to talk as if they are kings, group together and talk in their own language, refuse to adopt to aussie. If u looked in singapore,its the same story, they look down on local indians as if some sort of inferior creatures to them. They want SG and OZ $$$ but yet dont want people.

But the Oz govt has to blame too because they let in too many foreigners till the place is swarmed

☃® SG

i mean i noticed that aussie will be ok to u if u talk sense and behave like a professional.

Would u like if china tiongs here spit on road, make their children pee in shopping centre ect?

Gedanken SG

Very valid point.

Here's the funniest thing. Last week I attended my first Single Malt Scotch Society meeting at Southbank, and immediately a member asked me if I was Singaporean. The irony in light of this conversation is that the member asking was an Indian PR with a very pronounced accent himself, and we spent the night having a jolly good time identifying various single-cask Scotches with a whole bunch of local blokes, and I ended up being invited to join a diving group by one of the members.

No, you don't have to pass off as a local, all you need to do is make sure that your attitude doesn't come off as fucked up.

☃® SG

haha, i must say i received better service in Aus than in singapore by using tactics u described above.

☃® SG

I think its because ppl like to attack australia since its cut off from the rest of the world. when people go on bashing them, everyone tend to believe cos they know little about australia or not lived there.

Gedanken SG

Yuh huh. More often than not it's a case of "I know someone who experienced this" or "the newspapers say that".

All I know is that it's been smooth sailing for me for 15 years, and racism is really that bad here, I can't believe I'm that lucky.

coolgeek84 SG

Very valid point.

No, you don't have to pass off as a local, all you need to do is make sure that your attitude doesn't come off as fucked up.

Actually we are both generalising to a certain extent. For one thing, not everyone is racist. Its never the case anywhere =) But its just a higher percentage. I did go on a night of club hoping with 5 or 6 Australians and totally enjoyed it. I did have plenty of splendid experiences with some very good people down under.

I am quite sure that my attitude is very far from being fucked up :) lol.. Even if your attitude is very good and your EQ is very high, you are still susceptible to racism. Because if the goons who show racism had so much knowledge as to recognise your high EQ and your great attitude, they won't be goons anymore and racism won't exist.

It doesn't quite matter what kind of attitude you are having. What matters is what kind of attitude the other party is having and what kind of upbringing he has.

Fucked up attitude will not alone warrant a racist attack on you.

and if u r christian, its an added advantage in aust.

i spend my life in science and technology...every moment of my life is designing and building cool stuff and tend not to speak much...looks like they need prison wardens and inmates from looks of it.

problem is i find the aussies more afraid to mix if u have higher technology than they have and tend to boast about themselves knowing how and right training with a ladder thats placed on a wall.they have knowledge a muscle or knuckle head has.its useless knowledge meant for farmers n cowboys.i for one dontwanna know how to farm or ride horses.i have a goalnin life n a short time at that.

they have zero technology and i have decided not to waste time waiting for any industries to open up,if they did open up in these 20 years they would given it to indians that lool like europeans or their european types.i have no confidence in their fairness if they even know wat it is in the first place.oz is alright if u look like an european or if you have a qualification that no aussies have,

the only fault is that im not indian that looks european or an european.they can put me aside n let others of their race take the job quite a number of times.its thpose shitty jobs that they dump onto me.can u blame me for not being born like an eurpean in physical features?of course not................im not an ass kisser n dont go for social events..........im serious n spend my time in science n tech despite gettin a job far away from my interest!so??my fault arr??!!xi9ao ting tong white crows!

i do wats comfortable for me and dats it~

i think what u are saying is wrong. if there is a shortage of Engineers and IT ppl, they will sure to take u if u have the right qualifications and experience afterall Australia is still a capitalistic country.

I dont know which part of australia u stayed but in Melbourne and Sydney, they need lots of engineers and IT people . U must be staying in those outback type of places with farms, horses? U cannot say its not a useful skill, as in Australia people do the things which rakes in the moolah even if its a fruit picker

Hitman3 SG

so u want to be christian....so am i.studying us easy...........its when u werk with these farmers thats difficult.almost as difficult as werkin for the occasional insane people i get from time to time in spore.

wat counts most is your european features.if u are a tall n japanese looking for a job.............no chance.i have my reliable sources n wouldnt want to waste any more time on aussies n their cursed employment.

and if u wanna be aussie,,,u may marry an aussie blonde girl like the skilled sporean guy i came across back in 2002.....but dun come in here tellin that u were bullied like this and that.,,,even though u underwent plastic surgery to look more ang mo.

you can count from cases,,,,,then u will know the probability unless u are born to kiss ass .

Hitman3 SG

wearing a cross isnt going to help much unless u deal with vampires.kissing ass,smiling and joking wont help either.you must have physical features same to them!but u can try the above and learn to hate yerself if u have nothing to do.they are not easy or noble people to me.the vietnamese tried n laughed at themselves in the end fer their futile ass kissing people pleasing strategy.

i was never an ass kisser................i werk and produce half a billion $$$ worth of products per year in engineering in spore.rather go to south pole.

Hitman3 SG

u can go pick fruits...u were specifically born n bred for that purpose.

every country claims its short of engineersand technical people.....dont be so gullible....told you of more than 10 cases with more intelligent people than you cant make it due to different features n u still want to insist the other way....ok...go try it fer yerself,,,maybbe u would be lucky.even if spore gov setup company in oz...the hr wont employ u but their own types............its monopoly and useless spore gov in spore cant even help.ive seen too much...not heard frend of a frend type story.i assure u i dont wanna waste my time where all have failed....and spore is not what i would call home base from way they run things back home and overseas.

gimme the arsenic pills!
