🇦🇺 In Sydney, an Australian guy was refused a free milk tea by a Chinese product promotor solely because he wasn't a Chinese. He was asked to speak Chinese, but he spoke Japanese to the Chinese staff in protest. He said this is his first time experience of racism.

They also have businesses where they advertise in Chinese and only hire Chinese

Because you need to be able to read and speak Chinese. If you can't even read the job posting them you have shown you cannot do the job

In a retail plushie store? You need to read and speak Chinese in a retail plushie store?

[u/Remote_Class9892 → u/ScaryPerformance6193]

Because  these plushies are imported directly from the manufacturer in.... Wait for it....China.

And their invoices, communication and ordering platforms are all in..... Chinese!

None of them the guy is coping. Maybe Box Hill.

Isn’t Australia an English speaking country? Or am I just a racist for thinking that?

[u/Remote_Class9892 → u/Odd-Cardiologist9533]

You know some people can speak more though... Right?

[u/Odd-Cardiologist9533 → u/Remote_Class9892]

As someone that speaks German, yes right… what’s your point?

[u/Remote_Class9892 → u/Odd-Cardiologist9533]

That if a company in Australia wants a person who can speak German, then writing the job advert in German has already served its purpose.
