I'm around a few Chinese and Koreans throughout the year and their work-ethic is absolutely ridiculous.

They choose to take a job that requires frequent and high level communication in English. They should speak English well.

I wouldn't take a job that requires me to be fluent in Mandarin if I couldn't speak Mandarin well.

I did once get up and walk out of the first day of class because I couldn't understand the professor. I dropped the class.



I did this a couple of times in college.

This. When you mock a guy who speaks Chinese (I assume from pic) and passable English, you are way the frick ahead of me.
One of the things I loathe about myself is that living in and around Houston and I can't speak passable Spanish.

Yesterday was a Holiday. I don't play on the OT when not at work or the Rant during Baseball/Football games.

certainly not to that degree but i witnessed blatant disrespect and disregard to authority when it came to Asian teachers.


Scruffy has never witnessed this towards any teacher of any nationality.

I had a French teacher is HS from Nice that would get tormented by the rednecks I went to HS with for being "different". She was pretty hot but did not shave her pits the first few weeks of school, that didn't last long.

There was absolutely zero tolerance for making fun of this teacher and I feel like a few students were expelled for being assholes to her.

Bingo.
I mean, the cameraman was literally over the professor's shoulder at one point.


What is a girl supposed to do in that situation? She told him to leave at the end of the video and that should be good enough.

The asian teacher is smart. If he put one hand on that white piece of trash he would of lost his job. Since he didn't he did no wong.

The problem plenty of these non-English speakers have is that in their home country everyone thinks their English is semi-acceptable. They don't find out otherwise until after they've accepted the professorship and moved to the US. Then they get a supplies.

As the saying goes, the most widely-spoken language in the world is broken English.

I would drop classes with Asian teachers if they were hard to understand.
