Talk to some immigrants here in Australia and you’ll find that a lot don’t end up in the industry they were in from their home country. We have some pretty strict rules around qualifications for doctors, engineers etc and a lot of other countries educations doesn’t cut it for our standards. So most end up becoming taxi drivers or cleaners. When you speak with some of them, it’s almost tragic to have a talented individual unable to contribute to the field they’re qualified in. But no one forced them to come. No one forces them to stay. Is that still neocolonialism?
- throwawaylinux 5y agoYes it is. I'm not saying some individual's story or an anecdote is neocolonialism. It's the entire system of siphoning resources from disadvantaged regions to wealthy ones.
