Ever notice how Asian staff are only employed in Asian restaurants in Vancouver that serve sushi or Chinese food? Every Asian restaurant I've eaten in has only had Asian staff servers and cooks. I've never seen whites or East Indians working in these establishments.

Duh! It's Asian food. Why would you want other people cooking and serving it?

Ah, yes. You can't stand immigrants in "your" city or country. So sad. Did an Asian steal your girlfriend?

In many cases, these are family operations. There may well be two or three families, all related, that operate those businesses.

You see, unlike so many "white" folks, they believe strongly in all of the family working together, to help ALL of them succeed.

Their pattern is to all go together to purchase a business, all work to make it a success, then purchase another business, and so on, until all of them are doing well. They think nothing of working 12-18 hours a day, to make it.

There is no discrimination, they simply work together, just as so many immigrant families have done in the past.

My gf always laughs at how Chinese people are cooking and serving sushi.

And then we enjoy the sushi and get on with our lives.

I went into a Chinese take out and saw a white guy working there. I didn't feel so confident until I saw he was just bagging the items.

Ever noticed there are only Greeks working in Greek restaurants?

Glad I read the thread first... I was going to use this example.

And big boobed chicks working at Hooters ;)

lol. Well done.

Two black brothers run my local Chinese food place and just down the street an Asian family runs the Italian bakery, oh ya, a sweet little white girl is the cashier. Downtown a Lebanese guy has a falafel shop, ok that one doesn't really fit but man he has good humus and garlic sauce.

Very traditional crowd here. Gotta eat Asian food prepped by Asians. It tastes better that way, that's part of the whole experience of going to an Asian restaurant. It would be too multicultural I suppose to mix these things up.

You should have your genome checked- Never know what you will find in that stick, oops I meant your family tree.
