LETTER FROM TORONTO: Mainstream as the new social order
LETTER FROM TORONTO: Mainstream as the new social order
Many Filipino professionals in Toronto, at least those I know from my alumni association, lament some of the experiences told by Filipino newcomers to Canada about other people mistaking them for nannies. The newcomers recount how they had been asked if they could clean their co-workers’ homes after work or if their parents had also come to Canada as nannies. Somehow this gave the impression that being a nanny is degrading, especially if this is attributed to an entire ethnic group.
What’s wrong with being a nanny?
