I bought a ticket in advance for one of the Chinatown buses (New Century) to Philly, and was put at the end of a growing line of people to get on the bus. Any time an Asian person would (a) come also bearing a pre-paid ticket, (b) come and buy a ticket right there, they would be put on the bus immediately. Any time a person of any other race came and did the same, they'd be put behind me. It took about 3 Asians and 1 white person and 1 black person before I figured it out. I was extraordinarily miffed. I was offered no explanation that was in English, other than just to stay in line. But I got on the bus that I'd payed for, so I couldn't be that angry... plus, they wouldn't have understood me anyway.
