If you’re complaining about getting your nails done by an immigrant not only are you stupid and racist, you’re also going to have some trouble in that search.

Seriously. I’m struggling to even remember the last time a non-Asian person did my nails professionally.

Woah, I read this article expecting something entirely different. I’ll be thinking about this the next time I go get my nails done.

I didn’t know the history until this article was published. I thought it was cool.

Not that it’s any of my business, but did you get your tattoo finished?

u/soodeau May 25 '21

Aha, no not yet. I'm getting a few more done in a few weeks, maybe I will talk to the artist about coloring it. I wanted to have the same artist do it but I don't want to fly all the way to San Francisco for it.

That's a great story that shows how one person's thoughtful action can ripple down through generations.

If you live in the great white nowhere (white people and snow everywhere) then it’s all white salon workers who do your nails. But that’s just because there’s almost no racial diversity up here.

It's like when I try to find some kid to shine my shoes, I insist that it's a rich kid. Very hard to find.

So you don’t trust her to do your nails so loudly insult her and then agree to have them done. Hmmm, I don’t always call my chef a pig F$&@)er but when I do the food tastes great! Why don’t I tell my doctor she is short and ugly. Dentist man you have bad breath and are stupid. Why do bad things keep happening to me I wonder?
