网易教育讯 据英国《每日邮报》综合报道,39岁的Dos Santos出生在巴西,已经在澳大利亚悉尼生活了九年,期间一直在咖啡店工作。8月17日,他去一家名为Forbes and Burton咖啡店面试,在电话里,他告诉店主自己来自巴西。结果店主一见到他就吃了一惊——他万万没想到这位巴西人是黑人。店主马上就请Dos Santos打道回府:
● “咖啡店的很多顾客都是白人,我想这里的顾客希望有当地人提供服务,而不是非洲人”
○ "There are a lot of white customers at the café and I think the clients here want local people, not African people."
○ This makes my blood boil. Hopefully Sydneysiders will see this and boycott this place, I would rather buy my coffee from "someone local". Black baristas are cool - and coffee certainly didn't originate in china.
○ Wow,what the hell is going to happen when we run out of white medical staff,pilots,or servicemen. I for one would only be interested in the coffee.Blue mountain preferably.Which has only been harvested by white workers in Jamaica. What sort of an idiot is this character called Steven.
○ I remember hearing a fellow worker say she refused to be served by the black girl working in the bakery next door. It made me feel sick to hear it. That was England in the 1970s and it was as disgusting then as it is now. Thankfully, it's a lot less common, though there are some troglodytes still around evidently.
对于店主给出的“想招本地人”的理由,吐槽也不少:
Bilby:
● 对了,这个咖啡店主来自中国,所以他也不是当地人,这对他意味着什么?
○ Well the cafe owner is from China, so he's not local either. Where does that leave him?
○ How ironic. He only wants to employ "locals" and yet he only moved to Australia from his native land THIS YEAR!! Excuse the phrase but isn't this a case of POT, KETTLE, BLACK!!
Justaplainamerican:
● 不好意思,不过桑托斯应该比中国店主更适合做咖啡吧(老天啊,他可是巴西来的哟)。
○ I'm sorry but wouldn't Mr. Dos Santos be more fit to make coffee (being from Brazil for Pete's sake) than the Chinese owner?
○ As a fellow Chinese I am seriously appalled by this blatant show of racism, even more so by a clansman (I'm from Malaysia, partially Chinese country). It's people like "Steven" who bring shame upon the rest of us who have no problems accepting people regardless of skin colour, race etc. Mr. Dos Santos, on behalf of the rest of us, my apologies.
○ Being an Australian Chinese, you are a big disgrace to the Chinese community. Hope you never get your visa and crawl back to your country. We don't need narrow-minded people like you.
