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.

its weird in america to see that... but it happens ALL the time here in thailand.... even the Massage parlours(rub and tug) and whores have a special surcharge for Non-Asians... they claim its becuase our larger-than-asian dicks do more damage... but i think its because they think we have more money....
but the Japs that come here get priced gouged more than whitey... so i think its a 'how much money they stereotype you as having' thing.
