What the hell? This article is so wild and TSMC is so “satanic” I actually felt sorry for the American workers.

This part was a crazy read for me:

One former American engineer said some local co-workers referred to him as a “white breeding pig,” implying he was only in Taiwan to sleep with local women. At a meeting, a manager said Americans were less desirable than Taiwanese and Indian workers, according to people who saw leaked notes, which circulated among trainees.
