Racist Experience

Hello PinoyAU peeps here I am again starting on a new topic that I hope will interest you.

Have you experienced receiving racist remarks maybe in public or from your workplace?
Is racism really rampant in AUS? How true is this?

If you google "F*ck off we're full" you will know what i'm talking about.
Mejo cautious lang na baka mangyari sakin to pagdating namin jan. Well, it can happen to anybody here.

Kwento naman kayo. Thanks. :-)

    My aunts would say that racism is subtly felt towards the bogans and the aborigines. Sila raw kasi yung mga pasaway na tamad at lasenggero (siga sa daan parang jeprox). I'd like to hear from those na mga nakatira na doon kung may racism towards immigrants, pero kung mostly expats and mixed cultures na ang nasa isang community, almost imposible.

    @PogingNoypi - actually mga Pinoy, I can say we are a bit racist actually... It is just that we don't really mean anything bad about it. :)

    Pero on to the topic - racism is anywhere; in fact I have felt it as well here in Singapore. It is just a matter of how bad it can go. Very bad form of racism would involve some violence... I hope it won't happen to anyone here in the forum when they reach Australia.

    Oo nga eh! Halimbawa, yung mga taga Manila sasabihin nila sa probinsyano mga ignorante. Di nila alam mas matalino pa yung kaharap nila sa kanila at mas magaling mag english. hehehehehe!

    Yung probinsyano din naman ganun, akala nila pag taga Manila mayayabang. hahahahaha!!

    Dito sa work ko sa States, yung isang client namin sinabihan ako kung saan ako nagaral at kung saan ako galing kung bakit daw ganun yung mga nangyari etc etc sa project. parang medyo nakaramdam ako doon ng discrimination kaya sinumbong ko. Ayun natanggal sa work. hahahaha!!

    Hindi pwede ang racism sa workplace kasi may Equal Employment Opportunity Act Australia wide at pati state level. This is discussed during orientation and sometimes may special session pa kasi the employers also want to cover their backside. Pag medyo grabe case possible na matangal sa trabaho ang offender. Hindi pwedeng ignore nang employer pag may nag complain, kasi sasabit sila.

    Actually, dapat maalam tayong lahat sa EEO para maingat tayo what to say and do sa workplace. Pwede rin kasing may mag-complain dahit sa mga "parinig".

    Btw, marami pang covered ang EEO besides anti-discrimination.

    I totally agree with @psychoboy on this.

    Lahat naman ng bansa sa mundo may "racism" dala ng globalization. Natural naman na maging culturally defensive ang natives sa bansa na yun.

    Imagine mo yung sentiment natin sa dami ng Koreans ngayon sa Pinas...parang ganun din yun kung bagong dayo tayo sa Australia hehe.

    cousin ko nag wowork sa isang security company.. www.chubb.com.au. manager na sya dun.
    bale yung company na yun ang ginagawa e halimbawa, sa bahay, bigla may magnanakaw, may kelangan lang pipindutin yung may ari ng house tapos mag ttrigger na mag on yung cctv sa loob ng bahay nya.. tapos makikita nung support team sa chubb. tapos yung chubb ang bahala tumawag sa pulis, bumbero, or ambulance or kung ano man ang kelangan.
    so one time, may tumawag na client sa chubb.. yung support team na nakasagot e filipino. ang sabi nung client.. "I don't want speak to a filipino, I want to talk to your manager." racist ang dating diba? hehe. so ayun tinransfer nung support sa manager, which is yung pinsan ko.
    pinsan: "Hi good morning! what seems to be the problem?"
    customer: "I can't understand their f*** accent.. I just hate it. Don't you agree?"
    pinsan: "Well, what do you think of me?"
    customer: "I'm sorry? what do you mean?"
    pinsan: "I was born in the Philippines, and I just migrated here since I was 15... so that makes me a filipino."
    customer: "toot toot..." *binaba na yung phone.

    hehehe. yun ang kwento ng pinsan ko. :)

    @LokiJr I actually wouldn't mind kung dumami sila dito kung iisipin mo naman na nakakatulong sila sa pag-angat ng ekonomiya ng pilipinas. Nahihiya pa nga ako sa mga dayuhan pag may nababalitaan ako na may naholdap o napatay dito. Like what happened to the chinese people ung sa quirino standout and ung recently lng na nangyari na napatay ng holdaper ung amerikano sa 711 malapit sa harrison. Tsk tsk.. Nakakahiya talaga.

    Mayroon pa ring mga taong ganyan. Minsan, nung nasa tram kami sa Melbourne, may babaeng puti na sumakay. Nagagalit sa driver ng tram. Hindi namin alam kung bakit, siguro naiwan ng tram kaya naghabol yung puting babae. Sinisigawan yung driver. And sabi niya, "Didn't you see me? Do you want me to call the Indian call center?"

    Parang ewan lang yung puti. Yung tram driver, malamang PR/citizen na dito pero feeling nung puting babae, binabayaran niya yung tao. Haler?! Nakakahiya, tinto-tour ko pa naman yung kamag-anak ko tapos makikita niya na may ganun dito.

    Eto yong kwento ng boss ko sakin. Singaporean yong boss ko ngayon (I am still currently in Singapore). Sabi niya, meron daw talaga discrimation and racism sa AU, but we should cope and accept it nalang daw kasi nasa country ka nila. Mga puti daw talaga halos lahat ng makikita mo dun and pag-naglalakad ka, titingnan ka talaga ng mga puti kasi ikaw o tayo lang ang naiiba.

    To share another story, eto ung kwento nya. More or less the context is like the below.

    Two years ago, she and her husband were working in Sydney. One Australian asked them in English: "How come you guys can speak very good English? I never thought that Asians can speak English well."

    My boss answered: "In Singapore, English is one of our national languages and it is taught since primary years in school. We Asians can speak really good English. But I admit that there are some who cannot."

    Australian: "Yeah. I never knew that really. And I thought that you are Chinese."

    My Boss: "I am of Chinese descent. But I am Singaporean."

    Australian: "I see. You just have to improve your accent because it is hard to understand Asians when they speak."

    End of story.

    Moral Lesson:

    1. Para iwas gulo, hayaan nalang kung may nag-discriminate sayo. If hindi na bearable and too much na, report nalang and wag na makipag-argue o mkipag-away kasi baka saan pa aabot. Wala tayo sa Pinas and pag-butihin nalang ang trabaho natin.

    2. We should improve our English communication skills (especially speaking) and learn how to speak like Australians (accent nila).

    In my opinion lang po ha, we should speak the way Filipinos speak English. Clear, enunciated, no accent. Heavily accented yung typical Aussie English.

    There is a reason talaga bakit customer service ng Telstra, Optus, Amaysim, and almost everything else, Pinoy lagi.

    anong bus? pusta ako patungong noarlunga, hahaha! pero nangyayari yan. kaya lang parang sobra naman yata yang dinura-an hehehe. ang alam ko, 99% ng driver patungong noarlunga eh mga gurang na puti at tripping nila "no stopping" pag ibang lahi ang nag buzz. pag puti, stop agad at may pa seeya seeya pa, hanep! pero tingnan mo nga naman, papuntang south, puro puti pasahero. papuntang north, puro itim/abbo naman mga pasahero. san tayo sasakay? hehehe...

    Parang nakakaexperience ako nito sa work. Kind of bullying na din. Kapag may education session kami laging sinasabi ng naglelecture na kapwa ko RN na if may questions daw ang care staff meaning yung pca puede sila magtanong sa kanya, sa ccc or sa en na kasama ko din. Andun ako mismo sa training as in harap harapan na para akong walang kwenta ni hindi nasasabi na or sa akin. Nung una deadma kasi nga baka nakaligtaan lang pero bingo na sya sa akin. Kasi kahapon inulit ulit ako lang ang bukod tanging Pinoy sa kanila. Lahat sila local.Overly critical pa sya sa gawa ko. Laging parang may oral exam ako. Hinhanapan ako ng butas talaga na magkamali. Hindi ako perfect pero sya din kasi may kapalpakan pero di ko na binabalik pa kasi nga superior sya sa akin. Pero umabot na sa punto na nababastos ako. Plan ko magsumbong sa union kaso baka pag initan din ako. Nagsumbong ako sa boss namin mismo sabi nya tiisin ko pa daw ng konti kasi di na daw sila magtatagal. Gusto ko lang ng respeto yun lang naman. Ewan if balat sibuyas ako pero pakiramdam ko kasi ang paramdam nila incompetent ako kahit na div1 din ako.
