creativespacewo Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 This is very much weird. All of us here are designer, how can a person mention like that? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariashtelle1 Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Is it polite? Of course not but they might have their reasons for that or want to be safe about communication in English language. After all it’s their choice. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyaxrex Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Hmm - it’s shaky ground that mind.In the UK you cannot refuse to work with a person because of where they’re from.I imagine Fiverr has the same policy.In the UK you cannot refuse to work with a person because of where they’re from.But you can choose who you want to work with and there are genuine reasons why you may not want to work with someone from a particular country.It is known in business that it can be difficult/risky working with business and service providers in some areas over others.If you are outsourcing software development, it is increasingly the norm to outsource to Romania over places like India and some countries in Asia. This is because EU patent and copyright law offers better intellectual property protections and is easier to enforce.There is also the issue of ‘saving face.’ In some cultures, it is perfectly normal to say you can do something even if you can’t. This is particularly common in the world of freelance.I would say that there is no real reason to state what this buyer has in their request. However, their choice of wording may reflect a trend of former bad buying experiences which they are trying to prevent recurring. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribbler94 Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 A lot of buyer requests state, specifically, the type of people they need for certain services and while they may be perceived as racist, most are due to personal reasons. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samandcathe Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 That his/her choice. There are thousands of buyers request you can respond to even though you are limited to 10 per day.Whenever you see such, you move on 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salehayat Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 That is not something good but still it’s his choice who to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arcticdesigner Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 It’s kinda racist, but then again, it’s his choice who to buy from. You can’t push a service in his face and tell him to buy it. Maybe he had bad experiences with the people he mentioned (not like he tried all Indians and people from middle east, but whatever). Nobody that is not Indian or from Middle east should have sent an offer to this guy, just to beat him at his own game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rude? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graphtersawyer Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 And how do you call people who hate Indians and people from Middle East? Rude?Ethnicicist would be the term for someone who hates on ethnicities. It is rude (more than rude, honestly), but racism isn’t the proper term considering neither of the groups are a race. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precise wording is a must as a writer, so I make it my goal to do such. 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
