Subject: 一個關於小數族裔在香港的調查
In reply to: Vivian 's message, "家務助理" on 4/03/04 22:11

調查詳細地介紹了小數族裔在香港的情況. 數據指外籍家務助理普遍受到歧視. 其實, 香港人不只歧視外傭, 連大部分在香港有居留權的南亞人, 每天都受到社會的歧視.

節錄如下:

Then, I would like to mention discrimination that the ethnic minorities meet in daily life. 82% of the respondents said that they have suffered discrimination in shops, markets or restaurants. For example, staff avoid to give service to them but to give priority to Westerns or Chinese, and people are not willing to share a table with them. So, 1/3 of respondents feel that they are looked down upon at these places (Society for Community Organization: Hong Kong 2001). Such kind of discrimination is due to ethnic stratification that ethnic groups have a lower status than Chinese. Thus, ethnic minorities always have great obstacles in integrating into society.


In the aspect of foreign domestic helpers (FDHs), according to Asian Migrant Centre and Coalition For Migrants’ Right, there are violations and discrimination towards FDHs in Hong Kong (p.2). Three groups of FDHs, Filipino, Indonesian and Thai, constitute over 98% of the total FDH population in Hong Kong. Most of them are women. This survey uses random sampling to interview 2,500 respondents. The result reveals that the FDHs have identified some areas of public life where they are very often unfairly treated or discriminated against. They are markets/groceries (7%), shop/restaurants/commercial establishments (4.5%), and public transportation personnel (3.4%). Also, among the sectors of Hong Kong society, local women, local men, and Hong Kong public in general have exercised discrimination to them. Finally, the FDHs believe that the most significant reason why they are discriminated against is because of the nature of their job (class discrimination – 60%), second is because they are foreigners (racial discrimination – 22%).

Generally speaking, ethnic minorities have great obstacle in integrating into society due to the discrimination by the public. What is the government’s attitude towards racial discrimination? What has our government done to help the ethnic minorities in Hong Kong?
