Interesting use of grammar. Those with an E-2 are completely dehumanized. That appears to be deliberate, as all the other sentences contain "we," "they," "us," and "our." The employer clearly wishes to appear victimized. Even immigration is included! Apologizing in this way manages to encompass the customers as well. The entire passage projects a racial, social, and economic division between legitimate insiders who have been victimized, and illegitimate outsiders who have been criminalized. Ingenious use of insidious language. It would have been easy to have included the tutors as well in the ignorance argument, so their exclusion seems to me to represent precisely the resistance, however innocently or maliciously intended, that people on this board are presented with daily in the ROK. This FB release is just rallying K-team propaganda. |

| Yes, but some of have been victimized by both Ethne and the E2 illegal workers. They drove down wages/rates for legal Company Class/One on One teachers. |

"Korean team propaganda" (to use your words) is usually disseminated in KOREAN and not English. Also someone whose second language is English is often tone deaf to certain implications of chosen English words/terms.
Carry on. |

| True. Still, monitoring markers for consistencies or inconsistencies of usage can be fun, n'est pas? Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge. Know what I mean? Say no more. |
