Critical support for any and all these problems to keep popping up.
I don't really see how this is a valid complaint, the Taiwanese workers are just easier and more efficient to train into their processes because there's no language or culture gap.
Just learn Mandarin, f**kers. IDK how y'all think learning some Mandarin isn't necessary to work in a Taiwanese company.
First the Western press complained about how long TSMC construction was taking. Now they complain about the work culture, about TSMC not training English-only American workers, even though those two factors are the reasons why the fab is being built at a decent speed. These uncivilized Asians just can't do anything right /s.
If the USA wants to make these inefficient requests of TSMC now, they should have made all these desires clear beforehand. If they did, TSMC may not have been as eager to go through with the US fab. Changing the deal afterwards is a classic American bullshittery.
It's discrimination based on race, it's literal racism
Racism is systemic. This is just discrimination. I wouldn't worry too much about this since affirmative action was attacked by their own supreme court.
If they want to keep working there, they can put in the same work the Chinese and Taiwanese workers put in.
English is not my native language, but I think there's a valid distinction between systemic (an institution being racist) and non-systemic racism (an individual or individual entity being racist)
If this was an American company doing this in another country, wouldn't we be calling this racist? I understand that there can be no systemic violence against white people in the US, but there can be discrimination (as you call it) against them. Also, like another commenter mentioned, what if other people (e.g black people) were discriminated against with this policy? Would you then call it racist instead of "just" discriminatory?
It doesn't seem a meaningful distinction to make in this case, at least to me.
