WHY TECH?

People are people right?

Everyone treats everyone equal in North America and Europe right?

A Vietnamese 19 years old man is seen equal to a British-born Vietnamese 19 years old man right?

Some groups associate themselves with whiteness because of ‘x’ reasons.

They can 105% claim because they have some white genes they can choose whatever job and career and are 100% good at it as a Britain.

Does that sound correct?

Or does it depend on circumstance, hobbies, interests, friends, worldwide friends, individual networks?

Do people need coloured people ??? Or life is better if one group took over? Don’t you need balance of light and dark to see?

How are people judged initially here in Canada?

If your group is associated with white people in some form in the past, that determines everything about you, right?

Your likes and skills and output is 100% determined that way usually. That is the framework to treat you and support you in that closed scope.

Is that healthy and supportive 120% for everyone? Does that help everyone? Does that create more or less? What is the range of that thinking and treatment? Does it account enough? How sure are you?

Vietnamese are usually associated with pharmacy in medicine.

Vietnamese don’t usually go into tech as tech is a lot of sacrifice.

The problem with Vietnamese usually is that they rather spend life working 9 – 5 as a pharmacist and not worry about anything more so they can have their kids and take care of their family and friends. That was the traditional way.

But tech and engineering is a little different. It depends on 3 things:

  1. Your interests
  2. Your same frequency friends
  3. Your willingness to learn

Your willingness to learn could be circumstantial.

I took it upon myself at the age of 36 to do more than mainstream with my brother William guiding the way to create more than a tech review site and some general use utilities.

That is all it is.

Either work and die within 15 years doing some service job or go-go like Westerners seeking more to life.

Previously Vietnamese in the past did not do these things. My brother and I started 2020 BenchTweakGaming.com and it scaled from there.

So are you going to sit there and ruminate in the modern world?

History … Vietnamese are tributary to other countries and fragmented by constant wars … only 50 years after the last war, Vietnamese started building.

What is the reaction of this?

Before this, before 2020 … I realized no one gave a half a thought about the Vietnamese immigrant or 2nd generation in this country …

In 2019, I went to do practical nursing and when the time hands on work was done in care homes, I realized healthcare was partly fun and games for people higher in the hierarchy. They abuse their ‘power’.

I see rich higher people go in care homes abuse the darker healthcare workers. And maybe the darker healthcare workers just accept it ??? because money and PR is more important ???

Instead of reading a book and giving out money to charity like a real man to improve ones health, growth and longevity, they play and degrade more coloured staff a bit.

I went back to computers to build …

I remember life is kind like 50 : 50 in the world … but for newcomers to Canada … who get stopped from doing education sometimes … what would you do?

As a 2nd generation, I would go back to school, take out a loan, study for the rest of my life instead of getting degraded. I would sit behind a computer screen all day to avoid the bad treatment from certain groups because some groups can not understand the other side ???
