Irvine still discriminates

That's the United States for you.
Ok, so you had one incident that makes you write off entire cities. I was at a park in Little Saigon with my dad when a group of Vietnamese teens started making very loud comments about "fuckin' white people" and acting threateningly towards us. We weren't even bothering them just minding our business. I've also been at a park in Anaheim and had a Mexican guy ask "What is this White People's day?". I've also been at a store in Garden Grove and had a Mexican guy question "What's with all the White boys in here?" It happens.
Anaheim, Garden Grove, and Westminster are more diverse than Irvine btw, so I don't think the label of "diverse" city means anything. What you really mean is you feel more comfortable in a city that is more Asian and not as heavily white as CM and NB are. That's probably the reason why many Asians are willing to overpay to live in Irvine, even though it isn't as nice as Newport Beach.
I could totally see that coming - the dreaded ?one example ? that you can latch on to
Obviously one example is not statistics or hard data
So then , why don?t we look at increases in reported hate crimes in n Costa Mesa ? Would you expect to see an increase
There is a reason trump held his rally in Costa Mesa and not in Laguna beach? . You can pretend not to understand what I am saying but everyone know what this means
And don?t assume I am Asian just because I got worked up over that gas station exchange. Now who is making everything about race
Agree ? to me , the premise of the thread subject is unfounded . This is in no way discrimination or hate crime. Irvine is as far removed as any
As someone else pointed out , education level matters a lot here
Trump ?s Base is not distinguished by their incomes (they ar actually better off than average ) , but by lack of education which is the common thread
Costa Mesa is a blue city. It voted overwhelmingly for Hillary Clinton.
The site of Trump's other rally was Anaheim, also a blue city.

I totally agree that it is easy to conflate discrimination w simple rage
But lot of times people stereotype and discriminate without even knowing that they are doing so, because they fail to put themselves in the other persons shoes
Just as a a fish swimming in water probably does not know it is swimming in water (and there is a whole world full of air or non water outside ) , other well meaning people can go entire lives that way , cos that?s how it?s supposed to be dun

People?s attitudes ?- either condescending behavior or outright aggressiveness . Does not necessarily relate to racism in every case (some people are just jerks no matter what) ? but i actually find Irvine somewhat more accommodating in this regard given the diversity . That?s my point
It was at a gas station in Costa Mesa last year or so when a young ?dude was being obnoxious to this older Asian couple and pretended not to understand them and was making fun of them to his buddy , right in front of them . When I could not take take it anymore , I gave him a piece of mind and dressing down right then and there . Delayed the line a bit , but was all for s good cause

If you have stats on increases in hate crimes go ahead and post them. That's why I asked and you pointed to a single incident, which incidentally, is not a hate crime - just the actions of an obnoxious guy that could have easily happened in Irvine too.
Trump also held a rally in Anaheim.. So I'm not sure what you're getting at here. Please explain.

Lets be clear:
1. The OP story is not a hate crime.
2. The retail rep was doing her job regarding asking for ID with the purchase with a credit card.
If he went to Costco like I did. (aka the deal maker) He wouldn?t come across the unjust action that the sales rep did. Lol (it?s not a big deal)
