not just that but basically handing them jobs when many are already a well off part of society in their home country.
just got reminded of a case in which there was a guy not legally allowed to work in korea who was obviously not even a native speaker of english and he was repeatedly trying to work as an english teacher. i asked him directly once what his visa is and he got all butthurt and refused to answer. he used a fake "white person" name online to apply to these jobs. dumbest of all the entire english teacher community was bending over backwards to get him jobs. think whatever you want about english teaching, but there are lots of westerners there who made it their life and need all the well paying little jobs that make up their work week to support their families. thats it for them, theres no moving up really, just getting more jobs, which do pay well.
i found out now by someone bringing him up that he was a pakistani whos parents sent him over to get his PhD in korea (if you can afford this youre not poor) and his wife worked for Nestle.
It was just so fucking dumb how the foreigner english teacher community was actively helping this jackass take away potential jobs from themselves, the guy has a thick accent, and apparently continue to help him even now.
This is one of dozens of cases of shooting themselves in the foot by helping random people whose first language is not english and frankly suck at speaking it take up english teaching jobs. why? why do you feel the need to help the entire world at your own expense?
90% of people irl would just say instinctively "youre racist. why do you care?"
because there are ~6 billion people out there who would move to europe/north america in a second if they were told they were allowed to.
