Or, maybe because they work their butts off.
My wife’s acrylic nail person is Vietnamese and probably works 60-70 hours a week. If my wife calls her, she says “You come now...I squeeze you in.”.
I think my wife wants to adopt this lady.
Used to visit a bagel shop on my early morning motorcycle ride. Owner’s wife was Vietnamese and worked in the shop with a group of high school girls. The difference between the way she worked and they worked was amazing. She never moved without looking ahead to anticipate some need of the customers or service item. She didn’t talk much but she worked super efficiently, so I complimented her one day years after, for which she thanked me profusely. Her husband got my comment too.
I found that this oriental concern for doing a job well and with attention to detail was a common trait. Is that racism?
I know a very similar woman here. From the Vietnamese countryside, married an American guy (white) who was kind of a loser, couldn't hold a job, bit of a drinker, and he eventually disappeared after they had two kids, etc... meanwhile, she learned english very well, she started her own beauty salon and now also has interests in two restaurants, while raising the children herself. She still finds time to be involved in Church and her kids' school activities. We wonder if she sleeps at all.
