[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a white person I am guilty of not being able to tell from looking OR hearing their last name which Asian country someone is from. I know some (most?) Asian people can do that, but I can't. Sometimes based on last name I guess Japanese but am so scared to be wrong I won't say my guess out loud. There's nothing you could have done or said about the elevator other than pointing to a visible smell and saying "That was here when I got in". Your kid could have said, "Actually, I'm Korean" and hoped the guy would feel ashamed for having guessed, but I don't know if it's on children to do that.[/quote] The point is: Her son is American and understands “Thank you” as well as you do. No need to figure out anything. Just say thank you and move on. The elevator thing is annoying but I don’t think it was racially motivated. But OP, I am black and I get it. Hang in there. And don’t look for understanding on such issues from DCUM. [/quote]
