@cherri7 So you start a semi-racist comment, and swear by it, then you get depressed because I called you out? That is what is depressing- people here in America have to swallow their words all too often- I am tired of the people in our country that speak out of both sides of their mouth- the Founding Fathers would be so disappointed in this Country and its People. Nothing personal, just stating what I see.

ive always been obsess with the japanese culture and i wanted to move to japan but after ive had learn certain things so im not obsess about them anymore but i still insterested in their work like anime for example.I THINK WE'RE DONE NOW....thiS is too depressing.

[cherri7]

my point about that culture thing is that people from a particular culture have same mannerisms[good or bad] and i also give examples of other people besides chinese.but some people dont act the same way the others do in a particular culture.if you werent lighten skin which i assume you are than you would of experience many bad things like i have in my life and you might not have been hired in that japanese restaurant trust me.

@PeaceMouse17 you are so off track about what im trying to say and you try to make me to be a racist.you dont know the hell ive been through.im not from USA.i know what im talikng about i grew up with those asians .i didnt say anything about the japanese.japanese and chinese arent the same!!!!.their race and mannerism are different!!.when i use to go to restaurants the thais and japanese restaurants never treat me like dirt or give me something that i dont want .

@cherri7 BTW- carry an EPIPEN if you have SEVERE ALLERGIES= COMMON SENSE

[PeaceMouse17]

@cherri7 Don't judge all of the people of that culture for one greedy person- we should really take a look at our culture here if we really want to get into this "culture" crap. The US is no better and in fact the Japanese Restaurant I worked at was extremely clean and sanitary and they actually cared about what customers wanted and thought - none of the American owned restaurants were clean at all they were so dirty and the people could give a shit less about their customers.

@cherri7 It's sad that you cant see we are all human- the culture difference- come on. These people aren't animals- they are just like you and me- they culture difference may be a daily ritual and the food and arts intake(which I like theirs better than the lab-created US bullshit we have here). 

[PeaceMouse17]

@cherri7 no offense, but that is kinda racist.

[cherri7]

@PeaceMouse17 also it wasnt a real restaurant [a place where you can eat] it was a take out restaurant.we've been going to them for over 5-10 yrs and later they had new workers who some arent good .the chinese restaurants ive been refering to are the ones who came from china or grew up in that china culture.in the caribbean for example there are chinese people but they arent like ''chinese people''

[cherri7]

no it would be dumb if they dont listen because of that lie...its their job to give what their customer wants.we only lie once though .every caribbean,chinese,indian and etc restaurants would be the same no matter what because of people's culture.the way people act and the culture they grew up in goes hand in hand
