To me the scene wasn't about skin color it was about courtesy and respect.

Anyway, my comment was a tongue-in-cheek shot at the white guilt crap that makes some white people act differently toward blacks than toward other whites. Fk that, treat everybody as you would be treated.
Hmong, not Cambodian.
