one of the nurses on the ward, she's kinda old, but irregardless of her age she made some comments referring to chinese people as "the yellow peril"
hmm
is the year 1945?
I don't know what time frame her mind is stuck in but I found it offensive even though she wasn't referring to me, but still I don't go around bagging white people with 50 year old propaganda slogans
the discussion came about the prevalence of cheap products being sent from china into stores, here's a hint, if you want a quality product do not buy products from china, i thought that was common knowledge but apparently not
and no doubt she doesn't realise it was her precious prime minister who was the one who allowed free trade with china
i really hate it that I didn't said anything, I dunno maybe if someone else in the room were asian I would've spoken up, but yeah, I bowed my head down and just passed it off as her ignorance
