text: I'm not Chinese, but I speak Chinese fluently.  My looks make it so Chinese people never expect this.  As one who can understand what they are saying, let me be the first to tell you, you are not missing out on anything.  They're saying stuff like "did you include that customer's pedicure on her ticket when you rang her up?" or "Did you see that girl on American Idol last night?"\n\nYou can't understand what they're saying, so you assume they're talking about YOU and that they are saying NEGATIVE things.  That says more about YOU "Drama Queen" then it does about them.\n\nIt's not bull crap, it's their language.  If you were working in a foreign country, you'd try to get a job with people from your country, in a field where not being able to speak the foreign country's language wasn't such a handicap.  That's what they're doing.  And would you be speaking English with your co-workers, while working in this foreign country? Of course.\n\nI'll bet your ancestors did the same thing when they first got to the US.  The only reason you don't do it is because you aren't first generation from the old country.
