Irish Teacher Denied Job Due to “Alcoholism”
爱尔兰教师因“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.
一名英语老师在韩国遭拒聘，原因是人们对爱尔兰的思维定势。在首尔申请英语老师一职以后，这名爱尔兰女性收到了中介公司电子邮件。信中写道我们不雇佣“嗜酒成性”的爱尔兰人。这名老师将这封电邮发到了脸谱网上，并迅速走红。英语老师常常会因其本地语言、口音或是年龄而遭到歧视。但是这种歧视行为还是不多见的。
