Side note, and maybe just a personal preference,-The most delicately beautiful of the young women tend to be half Chinese and half Viet.

Lol. It sure is personal.
I taught THOUSANDS of Asians over the years...and you are observing them...and their feet through VERY rosy-colored glasses.

AND you obviously don't know the tiny Caucasian women from all over the world.

I am 5'7" tall with a size 7.5 shoe and have very well cared-for feet.

Get you head out of the sand and open your eyes.
I've been listening to men like you wax poetic about Asian women for decades. It shows the lacuna in your life.
Besides, good marriages and parenting aren't made by women's feet.

I haven't heard OODLES of good stuff about Asian men either. They gamble their lives away. Now THAT is a sickness. Perhaps they do so when they get tired of gazing at their wives tiny feet. :o)

Baby needs a new pair of shoes!!! Roll'em!

I didn’t post it because it was big news. I posted it to compare immigrants’ worth ethic to native Americans.

“Some of the teenagers like to be “Asians.” Most prefer to be “Vietnamese.” They are not excited about being lumped in with Arabs and Pakistanis..........”


Interesting. I have always wondered why east and southeast Asians did not object to the lumping of ME terrorists from Pakistan, etc. in tis the larger group. It is good to see that they do want to be differentiated.

Immigrants historically have always worked harder than native Americans.

They haven't, and no they don't, they just tend to take over the jobs from low skilled and beginning american workers.

An example is Hispanics, every labor area that they have taken over in the last 50 years, is now degraded and less skilled and effective than what it was.

There is a reason that their home countries look lazy and trashy, and unskilled.

Not just nail salons - here in San Jose it’s hair salons, auto mechanics, and doctors - huge percentage of Vietnamese doctors.

Ladies from Viet Nam seem the majority at nail salons.
The fumes they sit and breath every day is slowly killing them.
Many also are smokers, that’ll help.

Dry cleaners suffer as well.

Coal miners, too.

And don’t forget mesothelioma victims.

A lot of jobs are hazardous.

At Li Wah restaurant in Cleveland, there’s one waitress who knows me and always serves me. At the end of my meal, I always engage her in small talk, and then shake her hand, whilst slipping her a tightly folded bill. Always get great service!

When my daughter and I go out to eat, we make sure to hand the tip directly to the waitress/waiter. We have been doing that since eating at Olive Garden a couple of years ago and watching the bus boy take a tip off a table and stick it in his pocket. My daughter found the waitress and told her. The bus boy was fired on the spot.

Some Chinese places take all the tips, and split them between all the employees. I leave a tip on the table, but I few times a year, I surreptitiously slip my favorite waitress a tiny folded up 20. I get the best service! I usually go for Dim Sum, and she always gives me extra! I appreciate her, and she appreciates me! Works great!

It is nice to have a special waitress/waiter. Most places where we eat have such a turnover, you never see the same person twice.

Interesting that 45% California nail technicians are Vietnamese. Where are all those Mexicans? There population numbers in CA are far, far great than the Vietnamese. Maybe one will work and the other well you know the answer.
