I misread part of the article, but I stand by my point, her employers are taking the right course of action by punishing her.
It doesn't matter who it is, if someone chooses to be a racist bellend at work they should face the consequences
(quite odd circumstances in this one though, with the romanian/white, chinese/asian thing going on. It's not your usual race row)

Having been unfortunate enough to have work with a Romanian guy, I can only say that their attitudes towards black and asian people are questionable at best.
Those crazy free thinking Romanians, speak first and carefully choose their words so as not to offend a totalitarian government later. AJS- said:

More to the point of my previous post though, until 1990 or so, Romania was known as the most authoritarian, intrusive and ideologically rigid single party state of the eastern bloc. It is some what alarming that people brought up in that environment now speak thier mind in a way which costs them their (valuable) job in the "free" west.
I'm not saying it's ok to be openly racist at all. I just don't think you should sack someone for their privately expressed beliefs in a free country, and the fact that this person is from what was, until relatively recently, one of the least free countries in the world, makes this all the more salient a point.

Again though, was she failing to treat sick people or was she simply not saying the things that we expect a doctor should say? I'm not sticking up for her, she might be a complete loon for all I know and almost certainly used very inappropriate language for the circumstances in which she found herself. But I still find re-education and diversity awareness a bit 1984

Racism and the medical profession is a funny thing. Bit off topic, had a local runt give me the "chat" ie "turbanator etc" Ignored and didn't think much of it. Karma is a beautiful thing and the said runt turned up at my surgery with tooth ache few weeks later. I'm no racist but his face actually turned a paler shade of white when the penny dropped who I was. I had never had so much fun giving someone an injection that day!
Back to topic, the medical profession/healthcare environment has enough problems with ego's and hierarchy, add racism to the mix and it can get very messy. Seeing some the international docs working in the UK can be scary to say the least as medicine is one thing, UK Culture is another. That is something no course or international qualifying exam can give you. Treating and managing a "UK/British" patient can be a very different proposal to dealing those from elsewhere. With any Journalism, must take a pinch of salt but if she was like this with her "colleagues," what would she be like with a non white/coloured patient?

Theres no room for that sort of behaviour in the workplace, regardless of occupation.
Its unacceptable, nobody deserves to be treated like that, regardless of race/whatever.
Asians do tend to think of other races as barbarians. The rub is that they do it while enjoying a nation set up by those very barbarians while leaving one begun by their own kind. Somebody please explain the logic in that. If the Romanian was wrong, on the other hand, and the story trumped up, then shame on her!Its unacceptable, nobody deserves to be treated like that, regardless of race/whatever.
Anyway, if you are going to live in a free country, express your opinion as you see fit....as long as it doesn't offend Islam.

It's a very hard situation really, one which we will see a lot more of in the future.
The big problem is that Asians can act like the ones in the article and there is absolutely no comeback or criticism of them. They can build empires, 'Asianise' a place, make white people feel ostracised and all the time hide behind the masks of religion and culture.
The fact is a lot of Asian males do hold the opinion that there is little difference between an educated female and a donkey - but what can you do about that? It's far more insidious that an emotional outburst of potentially racist invective.
She has acted inappropriately but I think more out of frustration. It's like when you know you are right but get emotional about it and you end up looking like the bad person, or like the police being called to a domestic, it's the husband that is automatically assumed to be in the wrong.

I hope that just before you injected, you paused, and asked "Is it safe?"Gassing Station | The Pie & Piston Archive | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
