I can say 2 reasons of that Asian people, who have good English skill, are working to earn lower wage than the other foreigners. Indeed, I can't see any Asian in most of local restaurants in Sydney. However I don't think the reason is discrimination or smt.

 

In my opinion, Asian people are weaker for taking job interview. My teacher said that European's grammar is a little bit messy though, they love chatting and be able to keep talking. On the other hand, Asian ppl can take high score in English exam though, they're scared making mistake, that's why they looks very shy.

 

My opinion is a little bit different from my teacher's one. If I say about Japanese, the language, which is used by children and adults, are totally different. We hate to be looked as a stupid person. Generally, we are using more difficult words than the children's one.  In English, it is not so different. So if we translate from the words what we are using to English directly, it sounds very strange and awkward.

 

But anyway, I can totally agree with that Asian people are not good at speaking. Therefore, if employer compare Europeans and Asians, whose English is same level, in job interview, they might choose European one.

 

If I say about only Japanese people, I can say two more reasons. But it has become too long already and I don't have enough time right now. So next time will be about this topic again.

Have a lovely day!! C ya!!
