The main issues that concern us are incompetency and corruption which I mentioned in the beginning. If it involves any of these two, then no matter how much money (wherever they are from) we pump in will not correct the situation. Corruption did happen in the past (maybe still happening?) involving immigration staff.	bk T (215)

872377	2010-04-07 03:04:00	LOL. You think asian takeaways is like the real thing? not. So yes, I probably would. I would expect at least some chefs to be asian though in a real asian restaurant.........or the chef to have trained in asia under asian chefs. Probably NOT...down your way!	SolMiester (139)

Classic mistakes include readvertising when a "racially unsuitable" applicant or candidate has been advised in writing that the job was taken, the premises let etc etc. Some 11 years when I was at the University of Auckland, a black african applicant was not appointed to an administrative job (the grounds being the applicant's qualifications and experience not nearly as good as the winning candidate - which was quite justifiable and correct in this particular instance)-the interviewing manager was a white South African. Nevertheless the unsuccessful applicant lodged an official complaint of racial discrimination against the interviewer, which resulted in a formal investigation, a hearing in which fortunately the interviewer was upheld as having behaved perfectly correctly without any prejudice. This incident wasted a lot of time, incurred unnecessary expense, and resulted in needless stress for the individuals involved What peeves me off is its not racism if English speaking European Caucasians are discriminated against for a job say an Indian hiring for a supervalue shop. I think the term is called positive discrimination and its ok.	prefect (6291)
872379	2010-04-07 10:06:00	Generally speaking, there are more 'whites' discriminating 'coloured' people than the other way round.	bk T (215)
872380	2010-04-07 19:24:00	Thats fine then, discrimination against whites ok.	prefect (6291)
872381	2010-04-07 22:59:00	Thats fine then, discrimination against whites ok. It's not OK. Just that coloured people don't (usually)discriminate white people. If we were to look back our history, It's only the white people colonised coloured people when they discovered a peace land and discriminated their people.	bk T (215)

I would expect at least some chefs to be asian though in a real asian restaurant . . . . . . . . . or the chef to have trained in asia under asian chefs . I know some of them . . Takeaways - well like any ethnicity, fast food are not the real thing . McDonalds is diff to a burger in a cafe or a restaurant . But having said that if all you buy is fried rice in a restaurant they can be quite similar depending on the takeaway . Then again, people don't eat fried rice at home, it's not their real foods, nor so many roast . It's like someone saying the west may eat steak or potatoes every night . Restaurants, some of the chefs have migrated here, some of them are imported . Folks have been to HKG and China and found some food better in NZ :D Depends on your knowledge . . I guess a few could be trained in NZ under a asian chef . But really where else can you learn dim sums - Whitireia . . :clap	Nomad (952)

872384	2010-04-08 01:17:00	Do we have really have qualified chefs (Chinese food) in NZ? They are qualified, up to each to think if they are good enof for your taste buds :D My dad is a pick asian eater, he went to China and HK, ok some of the relatives didn't know where to go, when he went to AKL and went to this place in East Tamaki and various yum char in AKL and Wellington - incl New World in Newmarket - he said they were better than some places in Asia. :D	Nomad (952)
