In what has been the third racially insensitive remark which 23 year old optometrist Sally Kim has endured today, a local buffoon has felt it reasonable to ask whether she knows of any good Chinese restaurants.
The eye exam started in the usual style, with the ignoramus making his witty observation that “optometrists seem to be getting younger every year” and also mentioning that he once went to Thailand, whilst not providing any further context for the remark.

Sally Kim’s tolerance was at breaking point, until the man asked whether her practice accepted donations of old glasses to send to poor countries, noting that he had a few old pairs laying around. This led Ms Kim to speculate that the man was perhaps not all bad, and actually just ignorant, until he remarked “I’m sure your people would appreciate that”.
Following a very comprehensive eye examination including the dilation of pupils with 1% atropine, the man was later seen asking his taxi driver of Hawaiian descent whether he “eats many papadums”.
