In writing this article, I had thought about before, this subject is very sensitive, many people no matter what your purpose for writing this article, you will not hesitate to wear kind of xenophilia hat. I think I can say is that any nation has advantages and disadvantages, there are high-quality and low quality of the people. Chinese, Westerners, Indians, Japanese, Eastern Europeans, Southeast Asians alike, and this is consistent with the spirit of dialectics. I am working in a bar during the period, see all sorts of different races. Please believe me, some Westerners to the poor quality of unimaginable extent, if any friends interested I can write a special article in this regard. I would like to explore only a proportion of the problem, if a character in a more prominent groups of people, or nation has a high proportion of people with this feature, you can not see this as a kind of national character . Of earlier work in this area are Mr. Lin Yutang's "My Country and My People", recently, have Bo Yang's "ugly Chinese." I am by no means shoulder to shoulder with these people, I just would like to see some of the overseas phenomenon to be explored. Maybe you just left the group to better observation. When I was in China has never thought about it, did not reflect this perspective from the national character of its own and the entire nation. Come to Canada, I found a lot of things had been overlooked, and these features so distinctive. In this article I would like to discuss is the negative side, it is often said that evil. Good side, I can not say here, in recognition and self-praise is not my topic of this article. Want to hear New Year, you will not look up.
These features seen in the following areas:
First, do not comply with regulations, lack of civic-minded
I think I say that perhaps more realistic, non-compliance with rules and regulations, lack of civic-mindedness not only limited to Chinese, but the high proportion of Chinese alarming. Following this logic applies to all of my views.
In Canada there is a crossroads without traffic lights, stop called the Quartet, that regardless of which direction to car must be stopped before the intersection set, then according to the principle of first come, first out, kept running. However, there is always right in the car, stop the vehicle from the front right next to a wall the most, regardless of the number of cars in front of waiting in accordance with the order. Not surprisingly, then, such person fails to comply with the order of two faces - the Chinese and Indians, the objective that the proportion of Indians no less than Chinese. Chinese car that does not comply with the order of style, a direct result of the Richmond city (Greater Vancouver Chinese cities with the highest percentage) of the traffic situation in the entire Greater Vancouver region is the most confusing.
In the United States, Canada seems to line up properly with the breathing, if necessary, we will be spontaneous and to line up, it is difficult to see someone jump the queue. And some of my compatriots have a soft spot seems to jump the queue. I can responsibly say that I've ever seen to jump the queue of people are ethnic Chinese. In some major transit point for traffic, especially on the work of the time, waiting for the bus team will row very long. Once I was in such a reversing station, saw a 40-year-old Chinese woman, ran straight to the front, first by pretending to see the stop sign, saw enough there for 10 minutes. Wait until after the bus arrival, we began to order the car, she began to have a strong Chinese accent pretending to ask the driver. Suddenly she flew with incredible speed of the car, floating in the air were seated, looked straight ahead and the actions flowed, the difficulty factor of 250. Stunned the entire team, after a few seconds before you react how it was. Tutsi guy behind me say bitterly: What a bitch! In this respect, while neat, I admire the quality of this heart. I think many people will have obstacles, absolutely can not do that, as beings in nothing, "while millions of people, I will carry on." Do not know if this is not is the legendary "Man to cheap are invincible." A similar situation also encountered few more back later, but did not let me down, all, are Chinese.
Second, interested in infighting, against each other
I'm afraid the Chinese people in fighting the world-famous, and this good tradition was brought to a complete overseas. As long as there is infighting local Chinese, the Chinese seem to never know why things unity. A friend at a large accounting firm to work, after several years of hard work to achieve the department head position. Department head of the right to enroll their employees the opportunity he has hired a Chinese. After some time he was called into the boss's office and told he was fired. He was very shocked, but also no idea, ask why the boss. The boss just said something on the surface of reasons: What you have is not suitable for this work, and others do not get along with harmony, and the other partner is not high on his evaluation of such. In addition to leaving him no way. Then the other manager told him the real reason: that he attracted staff to the boss told him like that, that he was cheating during the national university, was the school be too. Westerners, especially the boss's head of accounting firm, the staff of this requirement is very high, credit is always first. Although this is a complete rumor, but the boss would like to believe, because he thought: people who report you are Chinese, but you hired in, he said most certainly. And the boss can not investigate because he's universities are at home reading. Silence has, I think he re-lifetime opportunity to recruit staff, then the Chinese will never again move up. Sorrowful lesson ah.
This is not unusual, to differing degrees. When I was working, the best is my calculation of my compatriots.
This has led to one of the most obvious result is that some of the higher salaries, better conditions, do not need a strong professional background of the work of other ethnic groups who have been occupied, and few Chinese faces. Such as taxi, construction, communications companies, the security industry, the prohibitively high proportion of Indians. Chinese in Vancouver, in addition to not working (big milk, second wife, student), playing LABOR workers are concentrated in restaurants, warehouses, markets, tofu factory, seafood plant, dry the most difficult live, take the minimum wage. Even cleaning is Lunbu Shang, cleaning of most Filipinos. Struggle to find a few on their own professional work, men are generally engaged in the computer, woman to do the accounting.
Third, lack of social responsibility, careless of the interests of the collective
Permanent residents of the United States and Canada, once joined the nationality, have the right to participate in the elections. And the Government encourages every citizen has the right to vote to exercise your rights, but also do our duty. With the increasing number of immigrants, ethnic groups have gradually become a target for various political forces. And those in power to obtain rights in the distribution of benefits after the time when appropriate tilt, which is something we know very well. But with a considerable number of ethnic Chinese, regardless of how lobbying, not to vote, refused to exercise their rights. Slowly, many parts of the Chinese community was ignored, because no matter how they do work will not be a factor in political status, it might as well put resources into other areas to go. Obviously, the allocation of interests, the Chinese group is also neglected. In North America, the Chinese still do not match the form and number of political power, also little help Chinese policy introduced, which have to say is a very sad thing.
These are from a large area that there is a situation is also reflect this situation. Witnesses a car accident in Canada is obliged to assist in the investigation and spontaneous testimony. But the Chinese minding only their own psychological, resulting in very few Chinese to take the initiative to assist in the investigation, he saw a car accident the vehicle was running faster than the fear of get into a little trouble. Over time, not lack of acting by Westerners, as long as the owner of a car accident is found in Chinese and immediately leave by car. Based on the principle of social exchange, it means something is not wishful thinking, you're not willing to contribute for others who contribute for you?
