[W]hat is most troubling is the stubborn and arrogant commitment to dictating what foreign workers must do and demanding their governments comply, without so much as checking to see whether these governments are willing or able to comply in the first place.
As a result of the lack of planning, the subsequent ever-changing requirements and the constant round of moral panics makes fewer and fewer foreign teachers trust in the reliability of immigration to commit to a single policy. And given the economic situation and the sometimes unfriendly environment toward things foreign, many are choosing to simply go elsewhere.
The irony of an assistant English teacher suggesting immigration policy and calling out a foreign government organization for being arrogant is totally lost on me, so don't even bother.
And since we've got the paper open, flip on over to this article. It makes no sense whatsoever, and it's about foreigners!
Elves held a rally outside the Hamilton Hotel Saturday protesting the defamation of Santa Claus. The demonstration was filmed by a local news crew.
Actually, the whole event was a promotion for MW Productions, Seoul's newest ex-pat English-language theater company, producer of The Eight: Reindeer Monologues, by Jeff Goode.
The promotional event was tinged with good humor as actors dressed as elves swigging bottles of fake alcohol, lamented the good old days before political correctness labeled Santa Clause a menace to society.
Passers by were highly amused by the gaggle of ``little people" crowding the sidewalk on a rainy Saturday afternoon.
The play itself is a dark comedy with some very course language and politically incorrect characters.
For the record, the elves believe that Santa Clause is innocent and wanted to draw media attention to the situation at the North Pole.
That's cool.
