Instead of taking side, people should calm him down. Until he is sure hwat is going on, don't be so hasty in your judgement. One time I was driving with an recently arrived oriental friend looking for a friend's house in Alabama. A cop car pulled side by side with us. To be friendly, my oriental friend try explain to the cops the situation by yelling "get lost!". As we got pulled over, it was hard to convince the cops that he meant "we got lost!".

I just went to a Korean store with my Korean girlfriend. She is close with the family that runs the store.
My GF always tells me how delicate our relationship is, due to the fact that I am a White Jewish guy. Her cousin even cussed me out last weekend for dating her.
I know absolutely no Korean, and my GF never clues me in to the social intricacies of Korean culture.
But when we went into the store she bowed and spoke exclusively in Korean the entire time. She never introduced me. Never even motioned towards me.
The store owners brought us some candy flavored yogurt which I drank and said thank you twice for.
Then I bought about 20 dollars worth of stuff, and said thank you again.
Then my GF bowed and they shared more Korean with each other.
I started to walk out the door because I thought the conversation was ending with my GF's bow and final exchange of words.
But as I am opening the door to leave, she sais , in a loud enough voice for everyone to hear, "say Good-Bye". I know it doesn't sound like much, but her tone was very demeaning.
I stuttered a "Good-Bye" and ducked out feeling kinda embarrased.
I told my GF that I didnt appreciate the way she handled that situation. That I was uncomfortable to begin with ,and her ignoring me and then talking to me like a child just made it even worse.
She got mad and now she wont talk to me.

Did her shop owner speak English?
One of my ex's mom and sister would speak all in Spanish. She did not tell them that I understood Spanish. I let them talk the whole time in Spanish, then as I was telling everyone goodbye, thanked them for their hospitality and said that I looked forward to meeting them, all in perfect Spanish. I've never seen a grown woman blush so hard in my life. I could hear the mom yelling at my g/f through the closed door after I left.
It's rude for them to not speak in English if they can, but hate to say this but as has been pointed out before most elder Koreans could care less. The least your gf could have done was translated...Kick + Her = To Curb

re-read the whole thread and see that i'm not the only one who observes this.
even fellow koreans feel that way about their own race
