Do you believe that most Vietnamese people who live in the U.S are rude and dislike Americans immensley?
I guess people who made comments below never have their nails manicured or a pedicure. In the Boston area it is prevelant. I am baffled by the rude treatment in nail salons. I have many examples but they would fall on deaf ears. If you've seen the Seinfeld episode with Elaine in a nail salon, you'll get the idea.

How many Vietnamese people do you know? That has never been the case in my experience.
I have a feeling you might have an "attitude" that would turn them off ...Like (3)

Not true. I am kind to them and tip well if warrented. Their evil eye and badmouthing customers they're working with along with overcharging makes it difficult to like them, whether or not they're Vietnamese. It must be the area I live in.

I truly don't want to offend anyone or stereotype people of any country. Where I live this is often the case; Mostly Vietnamese manicurists here. I have yet had one that was not Vietnamese. In this situation in seems to be the case. I have been lied to about prices and I've been charged more. I've been obviously whispered about while being pointed at mostly after I ask if she would mind fixing a nail that has been painted not as I asked. I am just repeating my reality. It so happens where I live Vietnamese do manicures, and most are good at their jobs, however I must mention my experience. I was brought up by my mother who taught all of her 7 children that hate is wrong. When a story of hate against a religion or race she would sit all her children down to explain why hate is wrong and everyone is a human being and deserves respect. My mother took the time to teach her children well. You see, I am upset about this as well. But in my area it is what it is. I only wanted to get an idea from others who possibly live in another area and the people are nicer. I never want to insult anyone. I was trying to find reasons and possibly make my reality better. I am polite and I tip more than most, (I was a bartender for many years to put me through school or just to make a living). I have found my relations with so many people of any race or creed American's included as the most hurtful, because I believe I am around Americans of all kind most of the time, but for manicures I am polite, I tip more than most, I try my best to be friendly and kind, but I am treated terribly; as if I have a bulls eye on my forehead and I am always ducking arrows. I wrote this on EP because I believed it was a forum to let out things I cannot elsewhere without being judged too harshly. I never brought this up before, I guess I cannot get an honest answer without being attacked and this becomes a "red herring" to use this to blow off steam. I really don't have an answer. I am not a racist or hate others of other believes. As neighbors yes, the people I've met. Isn't it to say a similar response to say all Vietnamese make good neighbors, or any person for that matter. I've met jerks of many different cultures and I love chatting with peops about the differences in culture. My mother taught me well. I do not hate anyone. I was never taught hate in my family. I give up. Oh, by the way, I am Irish Catholic. I am not a drunk, prejudiced, or a loser and I do not paint the exterior of houses, but I have met a few Irish Catholic who are hateful, and prejudiced alcoholics and do not believe the Catholic church priests molested any children and there was no cover up. Well they are in denial. I know a few alter boys who were molested and block it out. They don't remember telling me while we were little.

yes, I understand your feeling, they consider you not a respected customer but a milked cow. I love the way your Mom educate her children but forget about the uneasy experience, keep away from bad people to live happier, don't need to fix them , their karma if you still feel not good, go to yelp.com and rate them as they deserved anyway the title of the thread may lead to negative response even it is in question format Do you believe that most Vietnamese people who live in the U.S are rude and dislike Americans immensley? i wish you will have another honest and nice manicurist, when you have one, pick that guy or gal for you, don.t need to explore like autoshop, doctor, dentist, i always stick with one that i trust if u hate somebody, the hatred with you , you only balance your mind when you ignore it i did the same thing when i failed in love

Do you? If so, why?
*update
After reading a few of your comments I have this to say: 1) stop frequenting that particular nail salon, 2) seinfeld is a show, and shows over dramatize everything, 3) Vietnamese-American's are still American's.. just because they are Vietnamese does not mean they aren't/can't be American's and 4) just because they are speaking a different language does not mean they are bad mouthing you, Vietnamese dialect sounds angry/aggressive even when they are saying something nice.Like (2)

I'd have to travel 15 to 20 miles. Sorry, I just won't tip a rude person, no matter where they were born. No running away either. I asked a simple question. I guess you do not live near Boston.
