Dear brother Hoanh,

I totally agree your points of talent and business. but I want to focus on your example of "ngoai hinh can doi" a little bit.

generally, we need to define the concept of fair and concept of equality. When I pay $50 for a shirt, I must receive it. Then you pay $100, you must receive 2. It's fair. Then it's unfair if I ask shopkeeper to give me 2 shirt. but the shopkeeper need to treat you and me with the same service even you pay more than me. It's equal.

In some particular business, for example in  a fashion shop, the boss of the shop can employ shopkeeper with ngoai hinh can doi instead of not "can doi". The boss might afraid that his customers wouldn't want to visit his shop because his shopkeeper is not very beautiful. The boss cannot give his business into the hand of someone that he cannot believe. the shop is his property, his life and etc. We cannot say that his treatment for the case is unequality.We need to interprete his excuse as difference in business. 

when he employ beautiful shopkeeper, he needs to pay more than not very beautiful person. the decision of employment comes from his customers. they love to see beautiful shopkeeper. When he meets their need, his business can work well. Compare to the other business such as in making clothe factory. customers of the factory don't need to see who makes their clotes. If the director of the factory refuse someone by their appearance, it's unequal. but the boss of the clothe showroom can refuse not very beautiful shopkeepers. it's fair.

When boss can prove that his business need beauty, he can select beautiful workers. We should distinguish unequality in business with difference in business.

Best luck,

  Dear chi Van &  CACC,

  Thanks for the message, chi Van.  It is heart wrenching.   I think our society has so much prejudice that it is a serious detrimental to our national development.  We just have to learn to use talents for business.  The goal of a business is to make money and money is made by talented people, (not by people with "ngoai hinh can doi," for God's sake!). 

  As a matter of fact, here is the truth:  If someone with some disadvantage (like a PWD, a woman, an ethnic minority) has the same credentials as a healthy majority male's, that disadvantaged person is surely twice as good as the normal male, because s/he has to conquer more obstacles to get to the same destination.  That logic so clear, why don't employers see that?  Obviously their prejudice blinds them. 

  (Say, in the US, if a Vietnamese immigrant has the same credentials as a white male's, the Vietnamese will get the job, because employers know that the Vietnamese has to work double hard to get there).  

  I believe that with the market economy, all talents will be appreciated.  We just need to continue working at it to make sure stupid prejudice will disappear.

  Have a great day!

  Hoanh
