Being An Old Asian Man Sucks

[GoodLuckTurtle]

Think of it this way. I went to the donut store today and the woman there is usually nice. They're a Cambodian family, and just like a large percentage of US donut stores, it's owned by Cambodians. However these are Cambodians are not of Khmer descent and I think they are of Chinese descent, like Pol Pot. The woman there is usually trying to make an effort to look happy, but the guy, who I'm guessing is the husband of the woman, always looks miserable and that he never wants to actually be there. He looks like he wants to kill himself, and it made me realize... being an old Asian man in the United States actually really sucks.

Imagine it. You're an old Asian man living in suburban America and you barely know English. Your package doesn't even work and you can't make love to the woman you love like you did in the past. You're working at a donut store and making a "meh" amount of money, even if you own the store. You're probably living in a low-income neighborhood, or in a middle-class surrounded by a low-income crappy area at best. That life must SUCK.

Enjoy being a young Asian (or not) person in the US...

There's millions of poor old men that are miserable. It's not exclusive to Asians living in the United States.

I guess he's just an old man, filled with regret, waiting to die alone.

I agree with you. Race has nothing to do with being elderly.

The only way I could see it being an issue is not knowing much of the English language if he was an immigrant, which I think the OP was getting at. Otherwise, I agree.
