It's Just Business Or Maybe Just Racism?

So being the typical Vietnamese, I drove my mom to a nail supply store which was obviously owned by a Vietnamese person. We ventured over to the fume infested shop, okay fine it wasn't that stuffy at all amazingly, to buy a stool for our wax station at one of our nail salon in Henderson. We then started going into price quotes on his many other supplies and to my dismay I heard how the pricing goes. He explained that the quotes he gives are calculated by the suppliers in which he cannot charge over 20% of what the suppliers quote him for giving him a 20% profit but for his Vietnamese customers he will give a discount of 10% thus only giving him a profit of 10% so if you're not Vietnamese then you're just like everyone else and paying the 20%. A hint of racism? I think so! It makes me wonder is that how all cultures run their business? Although it may seem like a good deal for Vietnamese shoppers but there are also alot of Vietnamese businesses out there to rip off their own people. It is sad so I say screw you!
