Why is the Portuguese's social and status in Macao not high?

In Macao, although the status of Portuguese is not the highest, it is generally in the upper-middle position. For example, most lawyers and legal workers in Macao are Portuguese, and many public offices in Macao are held by Portuguese or native Portuguese, such as Luo, director of the Macao Transport and Works Bureau. In addition, because Portuguese people are generally more proficient in English and better educated than local Chinese, many foreign companies in Macao love to hire them. I don't see any Portuguese working as hotel security guards or sex workers in Macau. First of all, working in a hotel doesn't mean that the society and status are not high, as long as the salary is high, because Macao is a small city for games and tourism, and many hotels with land and money are expensive, and many hotels and casinos are together or belong to the same group. As a Portuguese, both Portuguese and Cantonese, plus a little English, are very popular. But in Macau, the cultural atmosphere of foreign countries has been declining, which is true, because everyone is from China.
