South African colleagues

TVBS

Do you guys have south african colleagues? Why kiwis are screaming "nooooooooo" when they heard that our company was going to hire a south african lady?

south African ppl are very arrogant, hard to get along and extremely difficult...wait till you work with them...you will know...

有过SA boy，也是会计。比我早进公司2个月，就跟我说要dating，靠，被我顶回去了。

他离职前还吊了个中国mm，人家从Wellington搬下来，但是搬下来不久SA就辞职回国了。他在SA还有个女儿。。。。。

I mean South African white, not black ppl...they think they are the God given....

经常在这里听到中国人抱怨如何如何在新西兰受歧视，感觉有很多中国人也是种族主义啊！南非人又什么不好？我有些朋友就是南非的，他们很好啊！请不要把自己的水准降的这么低，否则你才是真正的种族主义！！

其实被歧视的主要原因是 你的行为 并不是因为你来自哪里 或你是哪里人。大多数黑人 中国人 印度人被歧视 是因为大多数的人表现都不够好。

no offence, I just want to know what's the "feature" or "lable" of SA white ppl in NZ, which is a significant large ethical group here.

非要把别的种族贴上label或总结出某种Feature， 然后加以stereotype吗？这样的做法本身就反映出自身的狭隘主义。。。：-）

not EVERY one's arrogant, PLS do not put label on ppl. When I was back in South Africa, local black, white are all very easy to get along with local Chinese community, very open for things, culture, food and etc.
If you have limited knowledge and had a bad experience with ONE South African, that doesn't make ALL South African to be identical to be the one you've meet.

What would you say if your KIWI colleague say "nooooo" if he/she hear the company is going to hire a Chinese lady?!

Anyway, they will not say that in front of me. They might say while I was away. There is something I can't control, you can't control, every can't control. I said, no offence.

I understand your point... it means that your colleague is very narrow minded. A person like that is mostly likely to be NOT a team player.

When I was recruiting for my company, a spring brother came in for an interview. And my boss say.... OH, how can we hire a lesbian..... I've just simply replied to my boss, as long as she can get the work done, who cares... besides... spring brother is a religion in China, where many ppl preys her and say.... Believe spring brother, and get eternity .
And she's been working for 3 years now... very hard working web front-end designer.

Take it easy bro. Tell you something, the kiwi girl who had the loudest "NO" yesterday, was chatting with the new coming SA lady warmly at lunch time today, about food or something. Nobody identifies and treats ppl by the "lables" SO SERIOUSLY.

BTW, they used to say how bad Aussies are, in front of the Aussie General Manger. Sometime the Aussie General Manager joint the chatting and agreed what they said. Ppl just like gossip.

我们公司有一个，不过他是南非的白人，我觉得他人挺好的，有点口音，但是绝对听得懂的口音，因为英语也是他母语。

oh, do not take my comments negatively...i just came corss SA ppl like that at my work, so did my husband. not everyone arrogant, small minded. some of them are fine but just watch out a few of them do behave very oddly...It's like every race. some chinese can come cross just as pain as SA.

I understand your point...I do believe we shouldn't label anyone...it doesn't matter what race she/he belongs to or where she/he is coming from...Modern society has changed so much and there so many different cultures mixing together...it's hard to say which one is better or worse...we are all equal...it may not be the case on the superficail level...but deep down, we are all the same...black, white, asians, europeans....

我遇到过两个，人超好。
To LZ: I guess maybe there used to a southern african guy in your departmet and he didn't make a very good impression on your colleagues. Although you can't just catergorize race or people according to your personal experience with an individual from the race, I guess it's just the natural reaction from your colleagues.

Actually not. We had a fiji indian lady before and me, a chinese. All the rests are NZ borned kiwi. Girls' reactions should be from their personal experiences or knowledge. I don't think it's good but I'm ONLY interested in the reasons for that, coz in my eyes, they are all the same if they don't speak.
