i find this a lil fucked up, i understand that hey they're both vietnamese & there's some kinship there (he didn't even know her mom purchased all the furniture for her 3 br. house from them) but it's not like i could go into another store and say... "hey man, hook me up with a better price seeing as we're both white".
guess i can (in a small manner of speaking) say i now know what it's like to be discriminated against. discrimination against any race is wrong...it sucks.

Sucks, but get used to it, as we're quickly becoming a minority..
