Isn't this obviously bullying?

Found all these from Erina's blog:

Some days ago three British tourists took a ride on a trishaw pedalled by this old 67-year-old man. The three Brits were probably about 200 kg added together. One was obviously sitting on the laps of the other two in the small trishaw. They mocked at the uncle for cycling so slowly - obviously due to the weight of the three farts - and at the end of the trip, they refused to pay the $10 trip. Bloody bastards right? What do they think they are to not pay for the trip? They said they weren't bullying, but oh c'mon, you uploaded your own evidence to the world and you deny your actions. Dumb asses.

Look at the clip and tell me if you're furious.

Read the write-up and comments by a British news site and tell me if you're furious.

Read the interview by omy.sg and tell me if you're furious. Do look at the vodcast too


I'm really quite angry after reading/watching all these. Look at their faces while filming! Mocking and laughing and even showing the uncle a thumbs-up sign despite wat they're saying. And look at the uncle who's doing the strenuous work for all of them. even trying to entertain them by occasionally saying "very happy", seems like he's trying to make his customers more at ease with his service? wasn't he doing a very good job? and wat is even more infuriating is that they dun even want to pay for the service. like what some of the commenters said, mayb it's good that he din take their filthy money..

and somebody pls remind tourists that a slow trishaw ride is to allow them to enjoy the city view. who wants to ride on a fast trishaw?.. -_- go take a taxi if u want.

the uncle loves his job alot. and has even forgotten about this incident. 怎么可以这么对待这么一个敬业乐业的老人???

And the biggest myth of all is that the westerners are more civilized and progressive than Asians.

Try residing in their countries and working alongside them to see what they are really like, like I did. Then you would finally see that it is so pathetic that we, as Asians, have a long-standing tendency to worship them. A misplaced admiration. Disgusting race.

yes. some utterly flawed "ethics". i've not worked with them before so i do not dare to generalise it to all of them. haha. but what they did to the old man, yes, disgusting.
