Nevermind I figured it out lol. Got panicked because midnight was fast approaching.
I would say you need to learn Chinese asap, actually...
They were just getting ready, testing out their new default language.
That's American-Chinese, who are not the target clientele and most can't read Chinese anyway (like all good monolingual Americans). Steamed dumplings would be a more accurate stereotype.
I was brought with English as my 1st language.
At school in Australia, I didn’t mind being called a WOG (Westernised Oriental Gentleman) but hated being called a “banana” - yellow on the outside but white inside
Back in the ‘60-70s, anyone who wasn’t white, Anglo Australian (Italians, Greeks, etc) were labelled WOGs
Haha, many Singaporeans and Malaysians today call themselves Bananas. By the time I hit Std. 1, I had to have 5 languages. 3 were spoken in my household alone. And I had to pass a competency exam in a 6th in grad school.I was brought with English as my 1st language.

Most people anywhere in the world are casually racist. Racism is after all based on ignorance and stereotype and that's not unique to any particular part of the world. The only people that I've come across who aren't racist were at the highest level of academia, I e., very, very, intelligent, highly and overly educated people. But they tended to be assholes for other reasons.
Hey, are you talking about me?
I'd heard the term WOG defined as Worthy Other Gentleman. So much human invention spent on developing derogatory labels for others...I was brought with English as my 1st language.

Well, it is easier to label someone something or other than actually learn about them.
