First of all, I'd like to congratulate you for your level of spoken Vietnamese. I can't even compare to it myself as a Vietnamese born person.
I'm actually a Vietnamese, French citizen who has lived in the UK for the past 7 years. I have now left London where I have lived for the past 5 years but during that time I have encountered, what I would call, a lot of narrow-minded people. My latest experience had been through the Employment Tribunal at Victory House, 30-34 Kingsway, London, WC2B 6EX, on 20 and 21 September 2010, case no.2202071/2010 "Marc Nguyen" V Accor Services (UK) Ltd. Unfortunately, my case had been decided by a patial and bias Chair person. In fact, while reading out loud, Judge Ms Lewzey, called me "Mr Chink" instead of "Mr Nguyen" in her conclusion statement. The word chink had been said a few times during the Hearing and in my own statement but I believe that no matter what Ms Lewzey thought of me, she should never have called me that way.
So my questions for you would be: - Are you aware of such misbehaviour from a person that important and highly placed in the judicial system? Is it common practice for a Chair person to treat people she thought were in the wrong by humiliating them in public as if they have not been through enough already?
The Vietnamese community is not important in number in the UK but that has left me really concerned about the promised welcome sought.
In the hope to hear from you, I wish you all the best!
Yours sincerely,
Marc Nguyen
