* Played with on ''LasVegas'', with Holly the Korean manicurist. She's rude as anything, not because she's unusually bossy or callous, but because she doesn't hesitate to prattle on and on about her sex life in mixed company.

** Except in Kahn's case it's not simply a clash of cultures; he really ''is'' a JerkAss who openly insults his neighbors by calling them hillbillies. Although in later seasons he mellows out significantly and even becomes friends with Hank.

* Alexandra Wallace posted [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNuyDZevKrU a video]] complaining about Asians being rude in a library. The fact that a good number were phoning their families in the wake of a tsunami, coupled with the girl's "ching chong ting tong" line, make ''her'' come across as the rude one.
** "Phoning their families in the wake of a tsunami" was an assumption made by Miss Wallace. They (the "hordes of Asians" in question) were probably not talking about the tsunami AT ALL. It was just an ignorant assumption and generalization that they were all talking about the tsunami (which mostly affected Japan).

* TalesOfAGayAsian: Mr Bak mei reminisces being saved by americans only to hurl racial slurs when he sees they are black. Not only the old angry asian man but Sengchou the blonde transsexual despite her whitewashed appearance is weirded out by tanning and doesn't give eye contact to whites. However compared to bakmei it is mostly ego related not racial.
