If you were smart, you would have shared your friend's menu, but instead you decided to make a stink about having a different menu, and got both you and your friend kicked out. Nice job dumbass.

Your QBN sticker would have let you see the real menu.

I had a vietnamese girl accompany me to a korean BBQ restaurant near my house last week. We noticed they seat koreans on one side of the restaurant, and everyone else on the other side.

I don't know why I'm posting this, but it seems relevant.

Everytime I go to a Chinese joint with my Chinese friends, the owner hands me a fork and hands them chopsticks. When I switch with one of them (because they actually prefer the fork), the owner looks at them like they've disowned their heritage...
No big deal, though. My friends read off the special Chinese menu, we get good food, everyone goes home fat and happy. What went wrong with you?

^ What went wrong with you?
The restaurant/owners assumes
1. OPs friend is Chinese
2. OPs friend speaks Chinese, and
3. ...OP does notWhether 1-3 is correct or not, you know what they say about assuming; it makes people sign up for new accounts on qbn.
So you could see the upset.op, just move on. Believe me, I've been in a similar situation for years; a restaurant is not worth it. When it gets to official levels, say matters related to your living/working/being situation, that's when you bring out the guns.
For these guys...give your money to more deserving places. And if you've lingering passive-aggressive issues - write a bad review of the place somewhere.

I agree that the restaurant staff was acting with prejudice, but it's silly and useless to throw a hissyfit about it. If the OP was able to ask for the Chinese menu in Mandarin (or cantonese, depending on the restaurant), the server might have been a little shocked, but I bet they would have given it to him.
So yes, the restaurant staff might have been a little rude, but I'm going to drop the political correctness and say this - it's pretty rich when people, particularly white people, get offended about being excluded from things they couldn't or wouldn't do anyway. It's a pretty fair assumption that the average American white person doesn't speak any of the Chinese languages. So for a white person to argue, in English, with a Chinese person about not being given a Chinese-language menu is pretty damn silly.

This happens in every city. Rather than you being upset with something that may be a bit much for your senses they have 2 menus. A friend of mine is a Guai Lo married to a girl from Shanghai. He gets the Chinese menu. So you can marry a Chinese girl or be bummed out.
