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.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).
