I work in the Highlands (last census: 98% White), and the cluelessness of some people amazes me. "Oh, she won't want to do that, she's an Asian woman and she won't want to go places without her husband." "Have you asked her?" "X says she doesn't speak English." "Have you checked? Or have you asked her husband, who certainly does speak English?" "No." *bangs head on desk*
