Bad Apples

I guess some people can't get rid of their racist mindset no matter how much public awareness and campaigns have been going on to stop such utterly moronic behaviours. I recently visited the Apple Store in Wheelock Place to buy a set of speakers for my Ipod. It did not occur to me then at the point of entering the store that almost all the staff at this Apple store were chinese. However,since this was singapore i did not think that was a big deal....sadly i was to realise later...that was the deal !

As i was looking around the store, i noticed none of the sales people came up to me to render any assistance. There were salesmen who were just idling around doing nothing and they kept giving that blank look that gives you the impression of hostility.

However, they gladly approached every caucasian or chinese customer who entered the store. Everytime, i was close to a sales person, they turned a blind eye and looked in the other way. They pretended as though we were non-existant. There were few other local indian and malay customers and they got the same cold reception as i got.

When i approached a chinese sales person whose name was Dennis, he was simply not interested to provide any service. He kept giving blunt replies to my questions, did not assist me to test the speakers and kept turning his attention to his chinese or caucasian customers. I was so fed up with such despicable behaviour, I just stormed out of the store. It's sad that even in this modern age, we still have people who outright racist and feel at the same time subservient to the caucasians.

It's difficult to change the mindsets of these morons, they simply refuse to change. Honestly, they are only making a fool out of themselves. They've belittled themselves.
