At the one (Thai) restaurant where I work now, there was this one (local) (female) (Chinese-American) student who briefly worked there – she got hired and worked for some months and expected to work longer, but a post-graduation job offer came in for her much quicker than she thought – and she said she was once a hostess at a steakhouse in town, and once she got this coat and gave it to this (older) (white) (woman) customer, and she was like to her, “Your English is so good.”
She and my one (Chinese-American) (male) coworker were also saying that having different lunchboxes in elementary school was “a thing” – “Uh yeah, you have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, but I have these yummy dumplings,” he was like – and he also said that growing up students made many race-jokes about (Asians) (e.g. that the easiest way to blind them is with dental-floss).
