Hi,
I don't know if you have had bad experience with any chinese people. I have observed and was treated badly by chinese folks here in the USA (Bay Area).
I can quote couple of instances which I find very offending. My wife likes chinese noodles and we visited the a restaurant in Fremont, after having our dinner we were surprised to see that they added tip of 20% to the bill directly! this is not the case to other chinese dining there... giving a tip or not is left to us and who are they to impose.
In and another instance we wanted some green mangoes which were available at Ranch 99. This store has a membership program, if you are a chinese the cashier/clerk has a spare card and scans it at the end and gives a generous discount for the purchase and if you are a non-chinese then you are billed at the higher rate! leave this after we checkout the items the lady was so rude she threw the items and said 'go', and was smiling with the next chinese customer in line... one should have seen the expression when she saw us.
These chinese are also aliens to this country like any others how come so much dis-respect to us indians.
