The New White Man’s Burden

How expat privilege and global hypocrisy keep Asian talent in the shadows.

They said he was a “global citizen.”
She was called a “risk.”

ROT: The Expat Scam

Let’s be clear.

This isn’t about hate.
It’s about patterns.
About systems that reward whiteness — not merit.

The Western expat system is a scam.
Here’s how it works:

  1. A young European/American lands in Asia.
  2. Within 1–2 years, they’re promoted to “Head” of something.
  3. Local staff do the heavy lifting.
  4. Expat gets paid 2–3x more.

Leaves in 2 years with “SEA Leadership Experience” on their CV.
