Confucius Say, �Englishee contract vely glood system.�

Translation: White-boys are fools. They don�t know our �cunning ways�. We trick fool into signing cunning contract. We smile and say, �I�m honest,� �trust me.� We use �Bait and Switch� contract trick. When he arrive, we switch contract, changee work time, and lie longtime � all time. We keep his money (he, he). Our Government trap him with E2 visa. We master - he indentured servant. We tell him anything to keep one more monthee. We make his house over refuse dump. We work him to death. When he all used up � we �get another one�. We make many money. Yes, Englishee contract is vely glood system.

So are you venting about any particular wrong that has been inflicted upon you?

Confucius is unable to confirm or deny that.

I do sense that Koreans have a slightly smug attitude. As if they were the most superior beings that have rigged the perfect system for using up and controlling foreigners. "Deny them tenure, control their visas, keep them at arms length" etc etc.

Its not actually clever. I don't think they realise foreigners just percieve it as ethnocentric xenophobia, and we all know what they're basically up to.

I think you're being a little harsh there Junior. And what you say doesn't really make sense (to me anyway). Do you really think that all Koreans are slightly smug about having a system for controlling foreigners?

Could you also please elaborate on what you believe they are basically up to?

I'm not trying to start anything here, but based on this post alone, it is you who appears zenophobic.
