Yes I stated that, but you should understand what context/purpose it was brought up for. Have you even read the title?! " I'm feeling the ultimate humiliation " .. It alone highly suggests that the issue is bigger than giving up on finding a job because it has been nearly a week.
Many people overreact to things like searching for a job. "The ultimate humiliation" seriously? I can think of plenty of scenarios that would be far worse. Using your topic title as gospel proof doesn't really work.
You doubt?! Lol!! What do you know to be in a postion to actually, doubt it? I believe you might be comparing as to how things work out in your place? Well, things here don't necessarily work out the same. People here seem to believe that the people of their own are more worthy for any job that one can be hired for because there's already too many of them who are unemployed. I'm not applying for complicated jobs, anyway.
Employment is a universal issue, and many aspects can be applied across such trivialities like country borders. And realistically, assuming they
are passing you over simply because of where you come from, why is that such an issue? If unemployment is as rampant as you say, are they not entitled to prefer helping their own kind before those from other countries? I brought up a similar point in the homeless thread. But in general, I think I can see your/their thought process.
Person from their own country = born and raised there, paid taxes probably/has family who does so, are integrated into the community as far as relationships go, and are more likely to stay with the job (as immigrants/refugees aren't always reliable, similar to gypsies/travelers in the EU)
Person from a different country seeking refuge = an outsider, not integrated with the community, is unemployed so probably doesn't pay taxes and possibly claims benefits that could in their eyes be taking away from those of their own creed.
It's cruel, but logical.
Your posts are not offensive indeed, but they rather sound primitive and quite off the track. Probably appropriate for a 14 or 15-year-old boy who's just started exploring things.
Frankly, I'm not in the mood to go back and forth with this, and I'm actually riled up in general, and not because of your posts particularly. I'm sorry for not being able to conceal that, and thank you for your attempt to help, anyhow.
Primitive is an interesting and ironic choice of words, heh.
actually @Rebecca Chambers, This happens a lot... You can see it in EU. If i go to spain or france and try to look for a job, they will reject me... And i am a EU citizen. There has been "racism" since forever. Spainsh and french do believe they are better than us but they are forgetting that their families and maybe themselves are portuguese and that the most sucessfull tings always have a portuguese behind it... Anyway...
Now, imagine that happening in countries where there's a lot of war... We see it everyday. We won't hire black people because they're black. Ucranians despise romanians even today when they don't even belong to URSS anymore.
The middle east is even worse because of Palestine and all that stuff... Racism is all in history books. There are things you know and it's widely known and there are things the media is trying to keep away from us.they all hate each other, speccially the older people as they were born and taught in that grudge.. ****, even in fairy tales you have that.
See turkey... We all know about the riots that have been going on there... Do you know what turkish TV shows??? Cooking classes and decoration .. NOTHING , NO NEWS at all about the riots. It's kinda like that
Hmm, in some cases I agree. In many though, it's not the same, at least here. Due to affirmative action employers are not allowed to refuse to hire somebody based on their race, sexuality, gender, etc. Hell, they even have to give people with severe disabilities a fair shot, even if it's a certainty they won't be able to do it because of their disability. However, many jobs are simply ignored by locals, so it falls to outsiders who aren't so picky to do the jobs. Building work for example, is primarily a Polish industry here.
Countries like Turkey are just generally broken right now. And I don't think the US/United Nations really help the issue. Whenever something happens, send in the troops. It's nonsensical and we shouldn't be a part of it. >_>
