The rage has subsided, but it's not just the sexism, it's the sexism invasion of privacy and theft combo. I wasn't looking to make this a huge "Korean men are sexist" rant, I just wanted to know if this guy overcharged me. Nuts, he did. Arg.

유방 is more vulgar. It's like "boobs". If he said that, then you know he was being perverted.

That sounds horrible. I would've asked them if they're Japanese...because they look it. I would assume many would find that offensive.

We probably do all look russian to them though. Most of my white friends can't tell Chinese/Japanese/Korean apart to save their life...

I have East Asian friends who sometimes can't tell the difference between Chinese, Japanese and Korean just going by facial features alone so I think it's not easy even for Asians. I'm pretty good at it now but even if I wasn't, I would never ask an East Asian person some retarded stereotype related question like those ajossis did. It's okay to get somebody's ethnicity wrong because of lack of exposure. It's altogether a different matter to assume that the person is a prostitute because of it.

Good point. I'll remember that for next time... if it happens again.

So, gals, if you do your exercises, you can take care of things yourselves.

Not sure what you're trying to say but all I know is it's disturbing. Must have been thought up by a man...
