That being said, I have already been raced against (this is my term for when people are racist against me)
First happened before i even came here. Went to vietnamese travel agency to try to get a travelers visa. They wanted to charge me $90 usd which sounded stupid expensive. I told them I heard from a friend of mine that it would be a whole lot cheaper. "Is your friend...like us?" she asks. I must have skewed my face in disbelief, to which she responded, "you know, vietnamese or at least asian?" I said, "yes" to which she informed me that their policy is to charge non asians more for visas. I promptly went online and ordered a visa for significantly less money. Roundeye wins against racism.
This morning I went to breakfast. I think that they may have forgotten to give me part of the breakfast. I'm not 100% sure i ordered correctly, but since my waitress spoke english (although not that great) I think they forgot some stuff. That's not the part that bothered me. The first waitress brought me a spoon, fork and chopsticks to eat my noodles with. I appreciated that she gave me the option of using chopsticks OR a fork considering some americans can't use chopsticks. right when my noodles came, another waitress came by and grabbed the chopsticks away from me before I could even choose my weapon. Seriously!? when i'm in china, i want to frickin use chopsticks whether i'm trying to catch flies or eat noodles. She walked away so fast, and i am so tired that i missed my opportunity to get them back. I quietly ate my noodles with a fork and spoon as I'm sure all the asian's laughed at me while they showed off with their chopsticking.
okay, time for dimsum and to prove my chopstick prowess
I must have amnesia...I don't remember a thing about that night...
