So Brian just got back from Europe and he told me that he and a bunch of coworkers were sitting on a train and there was a lady from Rancho Cucamonga who kept talking to them about everything--politics, Governor Arnold, living in California, etc. At one point, she leaned close to them and said, "I really don't like Orientals."
I asked Brian if there were a lot of Asian people on the train which made her bring it up and he said, not really. It was just completely random.
Good to know that we don't even need to be present to affect people.
