:lol:

A 65 year old woman who doesn't understand the 'washing' symbols, that's fucked!

I wonder if she can follow instructions to make me a goddamn sandwich!

There exists one lie that is the absolute worst. A lie that has successfully infiltrated many of the Western governments. This lie is Christianity, and it must be fought in every way, shape and form. Burn the churches and kill the priests. The abomination that is Christianity must be wiped from this Earth.

In my opinion of the words, I think there is a huge difference between racism and prejudice. Every one of us pre-judges people, or maintains a few stereotypes.

It is racist once you hate all of one people for those stereotypes.

The lady is old fashioned and prejudice, but maybe not racist. If she were a racist, she wouldn't want to get the facts about the garment from anyone but a white person.





exactly.



I would also say its one of those "omg, how could you be such an idiot" moments if she just assumed an asian guy is chinese.



I've seen that a lot. I can understand asking someone if they are chinese if you have no idea what that looks like, but to presume they are is stupid.  Not racist, but dumb.



That lady is an idiot, especially if she just presumed any asian would be chinese and that the chinese person could read chinese, but whatever.  Not necessarily racist.

I was at the store picking up some shorts today, what with spring coming and all. In front of me in line was an asian dude (I think he was korean) and in front of him was an oldish (~65+) white woman. 

When the woman was checking out, she asked the cashier what some of the symbols on the tag meant (instructions on how to wash the thing). The cashier didn't know, so the woman looked around for someone else to ask and spotted the asian dude in front of me. She turns back to the cashier, points at the guy, and says "That man's Chinese maybe he knows!" and proceded to go ask the guy (who had no idea).

Now asking a random stranger would be one thing.  But clearly she was thinking: Chinese people are the folks who runs laundromats, this dude's Chinese, he must have laundromat experience.

:facepalm:

That's like asking a black dude about how to tell quality cotton.  And considering how few Chinese people these days fulfill the laundromat-operator stereotype, I'd call that display of racism flat-out inane.

I'm not even quite sure what to think of it.






thats fucking awefull, i hope the china man did karate and kicked her ass cos they all know karate.

I think you read into it to much, but I was not there so I will never know.

Was there anyway she thought the symbols were Chinese?

It could be a matter of ignorance as opposed to racism.

I don't see how that experience allows you to infer any general understanding of Asians.....

Asians don't want to party with you???

Yeah... thats what I got from it.

I was thinking she probably thought "maybe he knows how to read these symbols", not "he's Asian so he must be a dry cleaner".

I think your assumption says more about your racial beliefs than her asking the Asian dude if he could read Chinese.

That would be like if I was in China and someone asking me if I could read French.

It wouldn't offend me, but I'd laugh if other Asian people there got offended that someone dared ask if I could read French just because I was white.
