So only chinese people need apply - yes?

Can I waitress? I got my own Qipao.

I think they are asking for a chinese food chef.

A waitress with a Qipao, a unique value added service to attract the punters. Apply any time xueping. I am sure I can use your service.

I am sure they only want someone who talk in squeaky voice, mix up "L" and "R"s and hobble around like grandmother footsteps in 3 inch lillys.

This is what I mean about racist adverts, only want Chinese cooks and waitresses. Do HSBC only advertise for Chinese bank staff?

The action would be 'illegal' in UK. Although, being bi-lingul now, e.g. Chinese & English would give you an advantage in applying for jobs withinthe HSBC.

Perceptions are difficult to change. This is not one-sided. For over 15 years I would have loved to train a 'local', however, no locals would apply as the local's perception would mean that the local do not apply for the vacancy. However, the likes of Wagamama and Yo Sushi is now changing perceptions. There is definitely a move in the right direction.

You do not have to be 'Chinese' to cook Chinese food. However, a Chinese cook has a certain material advantage cooking Chinese food, as he/she would have instinctive knowledge, brought about by living and eating 'Chinese'.As with our 'Art', cooking food is not about putting the ingredients together in a certain way or methods. It should be cooked with a passion. I am sure when you play your Chinese music, it would take a person who lived and breathe 'Chinese' to play from the 'Chinese soul'.

Funny how some things are "illegal" in the UK yet this site is packed with such adverts seeking only Chinese people or "People that speak some obscure chinese-based language" or are having a chinese wedding. Yeah...

I am awful at cooking anything, my ancestors dispair of me. That is why I never made a chef, I was too bolshy and rude to be a waitress. Moi was a receptionist!

I also had to leave HSBC when I slapped a branch manager who fancied a bit of "asian" at a christmas party.

Cannot help 'smiling' at the scene of the branch manager getting a slap from you. Leaving is one thing but you have nothing to lose if you decide to take HSBC for 'constructive dismissal'. What he did was 'sexual harrassment' and he should have been dismissed.

Having worked in the banking industry in middle management, the banking industry within can be very incestious. The seed of the current problem was sown in the 1990s when the PRP culture was introduced. The first major incident being the downfall of the Barings Bank. However, the banking industry is very good at covering up their own dirt or dirty laundry. They also have the help of banking unions, whose future laid in the support of the people that put them there. Do you recall the incident of the 'unexplained' death of a BBC in Alliance & Leicester? To-date there had been a complete cover-up and silence by the establishment.
Taking the banking industry on is 'sudden death'.

However, concerning your experience, I had a similar one in local government in the late 1970s. There were two predators, both 'senior officers'. After the Xmas party incident, whereby one of them fell flat on a table of drinks trying to grab a 'bit' of Chinese and became a laughing 'stock', I was able to advance in my career on my own merit. The dodging tactics learnt during basketball sessions certainly came in handy.

'Adversity builds character'. Without all those adverse incidents in my life, today, I would not be 'Me'. Therefore, no regards, when I took on the incestious banking management on, and managed a 'draw' with them. However, in the process, I destroyed my banking career. Then, if that did not happen, today I would not be doing what I enjoyed for the last decade. So, xueping, an opportunity lost is also an opportunity gained.

Basketball provides for useful skills as Wendi Deng demonstrated at the Levenson Enquiry. Actually my regard for Wendi Deng increased after that incident.

I could have pushed for a claim but it was clearly impossible for us to continue to work together and he had a family and it was just a stupid drunken thing so as it was clear it was him or me, I thought to do the honerable thing and "take the money and run." I'd had enough of them anyway. Deathly boring job, mainly selling insurance and not providing a service, being "the little cutey" on the shop floor and I am nobodys idea of a "cutey."
