Sometimes I will paste up some  articles

which I think is good.

[Good things share with everybody.]

And I hope you will like it.

If I write something wrong,plese tell me,

thank you!^^

It  will take me much time

(because my type speed is very slow),

but I will try my best to do it.

Now just  follow me to see the good article.

For a while now I've felt sympathetic toward

Taiwan's foreign dometic workers1,who,

because of the financial woes 2in their families

behind and take on jobs,

as housekeepers or caretakers

for the elderly,that pay far less than

what most locals would be willing to accept.

Here in Taiwan,these domestic laborers  are

disenfranchised1,isolated2and,in many cases,

on call 24/7 with just a-helf-day off each week.

What's worse,their employers often seem to

view them with muted suspicion3 or,in some

instances outright4 disdain.

Recently,I watched a TV talk show

whose theme for the day was something along

 the lines of "Complain About Your Foreign Maid".

A panel of local celebrities spent the better part of

an hour cracking jokes3 and doing

impersonations5 to make fun of how incompeten

and untrustworthy their Filipino and Indonesian

domestic workers are.

***********************************

Regardless of whether or not

these individual anecdotes6

were fair or accurate,

broadcasting them on national TV

to get an easylaugh is precisely the sort of thing

that encourages the kind of blanket stereotypes

that seem prevalent on the island.

**********************************

Each of us should take a long hard look at

our own attitudes toward

those who are often the ones cooking our food

and and caring for our loved ones.

Because racism,even when it's veiled

as a seemingly harmless joke,is still racism
