真是,本地报道的标题充满了主观偏见。Straits Times的报道应该是基于New York Daily News报道基础上的再创作吧。看后三段,还特意把近期相关案例“贴心”地总结了一下罗列在一起,主观偏见的立场不要太明显。
不知道本地的报纸是否要遵循一定的法律指导,这是否是国籍歧视,边界在哪里。
我都没有看到最后的重心三段,还是你细心
因为之前看到纽约报纸的报道,看到新加坡海峡时报的开始段我就心里万马蹦腾,根本没有耐心看到最后。
最后三段真的是把作者的用意彰显无遗。真的是比我想象得还要糟糕。
关于您提出的国籍歧视问题,新加坡的法律应该没有对‘来源国’这个概念加以保护。所以,本地的房东才有胆量在广告里说,中国人不租,印度人不租之类的在西方国家是完全犯法的话。真的所谓是上梁不正,下梁歪。
下面是美国1968年就通过的 ‘Fair Housing Act’ (公平住房立法),Wikipedia summary 里面第一段就明确写出,基于种族,信仰,来源国等等,在租房买卖房歧视的,就是犯法。第三段更是毫无含糊地写出了,住房广告如果有基于对来源国(和其他种类)的歧视,也是犯法。

The Fair Housing Act (Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968) introduced meaningful federal enforcement mechanisms. It outlawed:
- Refusal to sell or rent a dwelling to any person because of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
- Discrimination based on race, color, religion or national origin in the terms, conditions or privilege of the sale or rental of a dwelling.
- Advertising the sale or rental of a dwelling indicating preference of discrimination based on race, color, religion or national origin.
- Coercing, threatening, intimidating, or interfering with a person's enjoyment or exercise of housing rights based on discriminatory reasons or retaliating against a person or organization that aids or encourages the exercise or enjoyment of fair housing rights.
