The first part of the advert is racist and sexist (and would be illegal in all OECD countries) the second part is impossible (oh sorry, was that racist?)

Re: Teachers Wanted: No Negroes, Indians, Mongoloids Need Apply
Sounds logical and sensible. It would be illegal in the West, but so what if it makes sense. This is the problem in the West, in order to destroy racism and sexism, the authorities also felt they needed to make illegal any generalisation based on race or gender. And generalisations must necessarily be valid (unless they are false generalisations). In this way a lot of wisdom and sensible business practice was lost. BTW, presumably you discriminate when it comes to pay rates? It's not illegal in Cambodia and you would naturally follow the market?Gilmore wrote: ↑Fri Sep 29, 2017 1:16 pm My school gets constant requests from parents to employ Western teachers. We don't comply, but certain policies have evolved over more than 20 years.
Asian teachers are preferred to Western teachers at Primary and kindergarten. It isn't a matter of salaries, but a belief by administration that they are better suited to the role.
There is no discrimination at Secondary level, which I head. However, past experience has shown us that non-native speakers cannot cope effectively with the rigorous demands of the Cambridge International English curriculum, which focuses on advanced linguistics and/or literature studies. It's a far cry from ESL.
Do these policies make our school racist? If so, are we anti-Asian or anti-white?

Don't worry folks. This is the future of the English language. It will be easy for everyone to speak (and teach) regardless of religion, race, creed or color as well as sexual orientation and gender identity:

Re: Teachers Wanted: No Negroes, Indians, Mongoloids Need Apply
You know the difference between a pidgin, creole and language, right? One of the reason Caribbean English is hard to understand is because the words translate first and then the grammar comes afterwards. So Jamaicans tend to speak English with West African grammar. Depends on how long you have been exposed. It also works both ways, the Chinese have given us "no can do" as a phrase, a reverse pidgin.

Actually, the way I heard it in Thailand is:phuketrichard wrote: ↑Fri Sep 29, 2017 9:55 amThais have changed this to read , "if u meet a snake or an Indian...."frank lee bent wrote: ↑Fri Sep 29, 2017 9:31 am i guess everyone has heard the regional proverb about what to do if you meet a snake and a black man in the forest.
they say to kill the black man first.
racism is overt and entrenched in the region since the Indians came thousands of years ago.
not my opinion, but my opinion will change nothing
If you are in the forest and you meet a snake and an Indian and only have 2 bullets, shoot the Indian twice to make sure he is dead and take your chances with the snake.
Cambodia would probably change Indian to Vietnamese
The only way to rid the world of racism is to rid the world of humans. Then you'll be left with the basic tribalism displayed by other social primates, but they aren't smart enough to recognize it as race.

Good test, in England, sizable is incorrectly spelled (it's got a red line under it here too).AndyKK wrote: ↑Sat Sep 30, 2017 2:12 pm This Spelling Test from 1974 Will Drive You Insane
