Taiwanese citizens discriminated by Chinese in Australia

[siegecrossbow]

To be fair it is a private business and they can pretty much do any thing they want barring laws/regulations and/or public pressure.

That means you must support discrimination based upon race.

If one customer complains of my black waiter, then I must be in the right for firing him.

What harm did the Taiwanese waitress did to the business?

You must be smoking something strong or getting old are you.?
They are of the SAME race and SAME country.
NO Discrimination based on RACE.

This Taiwan born Chinese had strong political difference with the boss and workers of the restaurant.
They had to let this Taiwan Chinese go to avoid animosity and not to adversely affect the working atmosphere at the restaurant.

Americans should drop the facade. In front pretend peacemakers but behind are instigators.

So if a US employer fire a Chinese employee because of his/her ethnicity, you would not call it frivolous.

There is a difference between racial/ethnic discrimination from political/ideological "discrimination", one being the former is an inherit characteristic while the latter is formed opinion, and another being the former is legally codified in all states, while the latter is not. FYI Taiwanese is not a race nor ethnicity, as they are ethnic HAN.

What did the waitress do? She claimed to be Taiwanese. How does that affect a business in Australia?

Chinese always look down on those who forget their blood and ancestors. "Banana" is a bad word in Chinese for those who are yellow outside and white inside. This is part of Chinese culture.

This was quite a sad read.
It is clear the Chinese don't understand how democracy works.
Australia is a little country in terms of population - so they are pushing it around. They would dare not try this in the US.

SYDNEY, Australia — During her second week waitressing at a barbecue restaurant in Sydney, a customer asked Yating Yang if she was Chinese. “No, I’m Taiwanese,” she said.

Her boss, who was from mainland China, never gave her another shift.

Man-Tzu Tuan said her loyalty test came even sooner: on her first day at a hot pot restaurant in a comfortable Sydney suburb. “Is Taiwan part of China?” her manager asked in Mandarin over a walkie talkie. “No, definitely not,” she said.

A half-hour later, she was fired.

China’s assertiveness has already set off alarms in Australia, with officials warning that Beijing has been meddling in Australian politics more than the public realizes. But the experiences of Ms. Yang and Ms. Tuan — along with many others — reveal how Chinese nationalism is also affecting private enterprise and, in some cases, leading to accusations of discrimination.

Australia’s fair work laws make clear that an employer cannot discriminate against an employee or prospective employee because of the person’s “political opinion, national extraction or social origin.” But experts and Taiwanese workers say that is exactly what many Chinese business owners are doing, with few repercussions.

NY Times? Neocon website? What good thing can they say about China besides only manipulate bad things ? Blunt lies and propaganda news.

Given India doesn't have a renegade province like Taiwan with its own currency, trade, rule and foreign relations. not really much to relate.

You should ask this to Ukraine and Georgia.

Yes, Taiwan is so renegade than India and USA both recognized one China policy and no diplomatic ties with Taiwan but PRC? Why Indian no balls to recognized Taiwan? I dare you. Come on. Show your mighty Indian courage instead of posting BS than makes India looks small only.

Taiwan still invest billions of dollars in mainland China and help us building up our semiconductor industries. Why shall PRC beat the hand that helps us at the moment?

Spin it all you want, but I have been on this forum long enough to know from reading you guys, race and ideology goes hand-in-hand.

The bottom line is that if you chose one component of a person as reason for discrimination, you opened the door for others to pick you apart and discriminate you the way they see fit.

If you carry a gun or if you are coughing heavily, it is legitimate to bar you from entering my business. A gun or the flu can actually threaten people, but they are temporary. Once you removed your gun or recovered from the flu, I will welcome your business. Your skin color I cannot discriminate. Your politics can do no harm to my business, so I can sell you things or even hire you as long as you are willing to work.

MSM rubbish should not taken seriously, LoL This more like person vs person problem not China vs Taiwan. Both are Chinese ETHNIC by the way, funny with Indian who brought this thrash to discuss in here, what wrong with this guy? Like no ethnic problem in India Lol.

Its precisely because recognition of India, USA and several other countries of Taiwan being part of China makes it a renegade province

In absence of international recognition Taiwan as part of China. Taiwan would be considered an independent nation rather than a renegade province.

Taiwan still invest billions of dollars in mainland China and help us building up our semiconductor industries. Why shall PRC beat the hand that helps us at the moment?

So for money you are willing to compromise upon your nation's integrity?

Guess current state of Taiwan is not manifestation of CPC 's communist ideology perversion but in general its populace being sell outs

How does it compromised nation integrity? Has Taiwan declare independence? No.. Do Taiwan recognized one China policy? Yes...

Taiwan until now still support mainland China development thru many meaningful investment. Why would we attack Taiwan since they never declared independence and uphold one China policy? China is stronger than you think. The reason why Taiwan never dare to declare independence is becos Taiwan can never beat PRC.

Unlike small fried India who got no ball to recognized Taiwan as sovereign nation .

The bottom line is many states do not include political affiliation in their discrimination clause, and the issue of creating a separate "Taiwanese" identity is simply that, a political agenda. Good luck with such a litigation in the US. Last time I've checked, the Supreme court even rejected case of LGBT against restaurant owner that refused them service via discrimination clause.

the same your country did!

 

[Menthol]

Taiwan independent and forming a new nation as Taiwanese is a major sensitive issue among all Chinese globally.

Whatever mainland Chinese or overseas Chinese.

But of course non Chinese will never understand this.

 

[gambit]

the same your country did!

And we are not proud of it. Unlike your Chinese friends.

There is no country named Taiwan, only Republic of China. There is no ethnic group named "Taiwanese", only Han people which comprise about 92% of the population in China.
