Irish Teacher Denied Job Due to “Alcoholism”
愛爾蘭教師因“嗜酒成性”遭拒
An English teacher was denied a job in South Korea due to a stereotype about people from Ireland. After applying for an English teaching job in Seoul, the Irish woman received an email from the hiring agency. The letter stated that the employer does not hire people of her descent due to “alcoholism”. The teacher posted the email on her Facebook page, and it instantly went viral. English teachers are used to being discriminated against based on their native language, their accent, or their age. This form of discrimination, however, was unexpected.
一名英語老師在韓國遭拒聘，原因是人們對愛爾蘭的思維定勢。在首爾申請英語老師一職以后，這名愛爾蘭女性收到了中介公司電子郵件。信中寫道我們不雇傭“嗜酒成性”的愛爾蘭人。這名老師將這封電郵發到了臉譜網上，并迅速走紅。英語老師常常會因其本地語言、口音或是年齡而遭到歧視。但是這種歧視行為還是不多見的。
