Hello sisters,
I'm not an AKA, but this topic makes me hot.
I used to get my nails done on a regular basis, and I was getting the feeling that the Vietnamesse women who were doing nails were talking about the people in the chairs. I couldn't expain it, but it was just a feeling. So I brought one of my Amer-asian friends with me to the store (she just looks white) and had her just listen. When we got out, she told me that for an hour they had talked about everyone who walked throught the door. She said they said something about thinking that my hair (which is long and thick) was a weave, and that I needed to use the money to buy food for my children (when this happened I was maybe 17, and I'm nearly 21 and still don't have any children, nor had they ever seen me with any)rather than hair and nails.
From then on, if I can't understand what you are saying, I don't shop there, and I don't particularly care if it's racist or not!!!!!
