Papa John's Pizza fired a cashier at one of its New York restaurants and apologized to an Asian-American customer for a receipt that identified her as "lady chinky eyes."

I had a similar racist experience in Korea.

The Korean girl at Lotteria wrote: "12 Inch Gochu" on the receipt.

Gochu in English refers to a man's private parts.

I wanted to file a complaint with Amnesty International in accordance with standard Dave's operating procedures, but I decided to frame it and hang it on my wall instead.

You poor persecuted soul.
It's so unfortunate to be stereotyped like that.
But they use centimeters here; are you sure it wasn't "12 cm gochu"?
