I assume (and I stress the word "assume") that when race is mentioned in such a case, it is for identifying purposes only. ...<SNIP>... But you're right to be alarmed, I think. If it were to read "to the black/hispanic/etc. guy who ripped me off" it would be equally as alarming and perhaps more obviously insulting or offensive. Originally Posted by JennsLolli

I'm asian and I usually include extra tips for the girls' time. I'm sure if every provider stopped seeing the ethnicity of people who ripped them off, then there would be nobody left to see.
Anyways I hope the guy contacts you Marley. Originally Posted by xprometheusx

I am not offended by Marley's use of asian as that is important for helping identify the person. What I was a little more offended by was ibechill's solution to the situation which was to say to stop seeing asian clients completely.
If someone is offended or insulted by their race, or by someone referring to ones race then they need to learn to deal with it.
Simply mentioning a person's race IS NOT racist. Originally Posted by screwey

I should have expounded more on the subject rather than deliver an obtuse terse (is that redundant?) statement. Originally Posted by ibechillToo many big words! Too many big words! You're confusing the blondes!!
