i am 150% DONE with hearing all you non-asian bitches call your nail techs “ling ling”.
dont fucking think that shit is okay. im constantly hearing this shit, along with you bitches complaining about how people who work in nail salon’s speak their own language while in your holy presence. its their first language for god’s sake. it comes much more easier and naturally to them, why wouldnt they speak it? if youre so uncomfortable with it, take your fucking business elsewhere because these women work way too hard to get disrespected with crude, racist comments.
“ling ling needs to hurry up with my nails” shut. the. entire. fuck. up.
^^^^^^
I worked at a nail salon last year and when the nail techs spoke to each other in their native languages, it was almost always to coordinate things like “hey you, make sure to help that customer gets some slippers on” or “that customer needs to pay 25 dollars” or “hey can you cover the front desk?”… or even just talking… about their weekend or something…. like you’d talk to your co-workers yk?
Yet non asian customers are always so rude and suspicious that we are somehow talking shit about them. Like… trust me. They have got better shit to talk about.
When laughter bubbles up after an exchange of excited vietnamese or chinese words, customers are so quick to assume that they are talking shit when they’re literally just talking about something funny that happened last night. Or something silly one of their kids or spouses did. Or a pun.
And honestly, if they -were- talking shit about you, you probably deserved it bc you were a rude or unpleasant customer.
Asian workers get ridiculed by non asians so much for how our language sounds smh.
The people who assume the nail technicians are talking shit assume so bc of their own inferiority complex and the recognition that they ain’t shit. (along with their racism)
It pisses me off.
