I was minding my own business at a store when a rude customer confronted me... I will never forget the shocking interaction
A dentist has shared his shocking brush with racism after he was targeted by a random shopper in a gift store. Peter Nguyen visited the Footscray store in Melbourne at the end of last week, searching for picture frames to match his recent home renovations. The young Australian said he had never experienced blatant racism in the country until that day. He said the saga began when he was squeezing down a tight aisle and saw an older man standing in his way. The man did not appear to have noticed Mr Nguyen approaching with five picture frames under his arms. 'I had to go past him to pay for my frames. As I'm walking towards him, I see that he hasn't moved,' he said in a TikTok video. The dentist thought maybe the man had not noticed him approaching in his peripheral vision, or was vision impaired – but when he said 'excuse me', he was still ignored. Mr Nguyen squeezed himself and his items behind the man, making sure not to touch him. 'I got to the cashier, and suddenly he walks behind me. 'He was like 30, 40 metres from the cashier, and now as I'm at the cashier, he walks behind me, then he goes, "Are you really going to push in front of me?" 'I didn't know he was in line, and he wasn't there before me and, I'd been waiting, but this is an old dude, so I was like, "Alright, go ahead please".' But Mr Nguyen said the interaction did not end there as he had hoped it would. 'He looks at me, and he goes, "What do you even do for a living? Wasting taxpayers money, you immigrants?"' Mr Nguyen said. 'Then he hears the cashiers talking to each other in Vietnamese and he goes, "Speak English, we're in Australia".' 'So I kind of, I get what's going on here now ... and just try and stay classy, you know.' But despite Mr Nguyen's efforts to de-escalate the situation, the man kept asking what he did for a living. 'He keeps going, keeps badgering me like, "What do you do for a living? I bet it's nothing smart",' Mr Nguyen said. The Melbourne dentist refrained from answering the man. But when he greeted the Vietnamese cashier in their shared language, the man asked what he was speaking. 'I'm like, "Vietnamese", and then he goes, "Vietnam! Communist country",' Mr Nguyen said in disbelief. 'That was my first proper interaction with blatant racism, especially in a very multicultural area. I want to end by saying I've felt very welcome in Australia. 'Most people I've met have been so lovely, but this is definitely something that was a bit of a shock to me.' Social media users apologised for the man's 'disgraceful' behaviour, with many arguing 'blatant racism' was on the rise. 'I'm sorry you experienced this. Australia likes to pretend we're so much better than other places, but the racism here runs deep, and when people refuse to acknowledge that, it only gets worse,' one woman wrote. 'Individuals like this don't even deserve a minute of your time. I'm an Aussie mum with an adopted daughter from Vanuatu. Racism towards her from others is horrid. I'm so sorry you've experienced this,' another said. 'Sorry to hear, Peter. I feel like it's getting worse. I'm of Indian heritage and have lived in Australia for 40 years,' a third said. 'The last five years have been horrendous. It used to be present but not blatant – now people can't even be bothered hiding it.' Others said they were surprised the man had been in the highly diverse suburb of Footscray in the first place. 'As a Footscray resident, why the hell would he come to Footscray if he has a problem with immigrants? Sorry this happened to you,' one wrote. 'Good on you for not biting and giving him a reaction.'

Vietnamese American families talk about leaving Saigon under the cover of night
Peter Nguyen's first English sentence at 9 years old was 'Give me candy,' after his grandfather carried him away from the naval base their family had been staying at. They were fleeing Northern Vietnamese forces, and Nguyen was face to face with a fleet of battleships and American sailors tossing handfuls of sweets off the boats to Vietnamese children and their families lined up below. He shared his story with NBC News as part of the 50th anniversary of the fall of Saigon, which effectively ended the Vietnam War 50 years ago on April 30. North Vietnamese forces had captured Saigon, the capital of South Vietnam, and reunited the country as the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. It spurred a refugee crisis with people fleeing by water, described as 'boat people,' who faced attacks by pirates, starvation and drowning. 'It was pandemonium,' Nguyen said. 'Everybody just grabbed and just ran to the ships.' More than 100,000 refugees from Saigon arrived in the United States through Guam. Today, Saigon is called Ho Chi Minh City, named for the first president of North Vietnam, and April 30 is observed in the country as Reunification Day. Vietnamese American families described their experiences fleeing Saigon and their new lives in the United States. Nguyen, who was interviewed by his daughter, Porschia, said he had to leave because his father was a lieutenant colonel in the South Vietnamese army, and he feared they might be persecuted when Northern forces captured the city. Nguyen boarded one of the Vietnamese battleships and docked in Subic Bay, Philippines, a few days later. From there, a commercial freight ship took him to Guam, where he stayed at a makeshift refugee camp. Nguyen, who was 9 when he left Saigon and now lives in the United States, keeps a photo of ship number 502 — the now-decommissioned ship that aided his escape from Vietnam in 1975 during the fall of Saigon. Dzung Pham, who was 14 when he fled Vietnam, said his family had to leave because his father worked for the U.S. government and his mother worked for an American company. His uncle, a retired colonel in the military, never made it out. 'He was enduring all the mortar fires, and the kid was sick, my cousin. And he's taking her out, you know, to get to some medicine, to see a doctor, and that he will come back in,' Pham said. 'He got stuck up there. And ... he was left behind after the fall of Saigon and he was imprisoned and sent to a labor camp. They called it re-education camp for 10 years.' Hundreds of thousands of people who had worked for Southern Vietnamese or American forces were imprisoned in re-education camps, in which torture and forced labor were commonplace. Lehoa Wilson was eight months pregnant when a colonel in the U.S. Embassy knocked on her door and told her that she, her husband and their children needed to evacuate Saigon immediately. She had married her husband on one condition: They would live in Vietnam together — nowhere else. Wilson said her tear-stricken goodbyes and headed to the airport. Her son, Michael, who fled Vietnam at 13 with the family, has lived most of his life in the United States. '1975 happened just like a flash or, you know — that short adventure was fun,' he said. 'But now you have to start out new and a new country, a new language, new friends, people don't look much like you.' Now, though, he said, the United States is his 'home.' 'To me, when I go back to Vietnam to visit — it's just a destination to visit,' Michael said. 'So I'm not really missing living there, but I still enjoy the people and the scenery and the food and the culture there.' This article was originally published on

Can I Wear Slogan T-Shirts If My Girlfriend Hates Them? And More Reader Style Questions, Answered.
—Jerry Jackson, St. Louis, Mo. Funnily enough, I recently declared that my partner wasn't allowed to wear a certain T-shirt due to the fashion rule forbidding ugly clothes. He swatted me away and continues to wear the gray, paint-splattered monstrosity (I think he might actually be wearing it more often). While I would never admit this to him, there is something to be said for sticking to styles you like. Still, perhaps your T-shirts need an upgrade. Slogan tees can be risky, often reading lame or try-hard. And the look tends to skew younger. But with a little digging, you can certainly score fun, stylish takes. Peter Nguyen, a personal stylist, wrote an online guide to graphic tees for 'grown men' that outlines his 'museum rule': When gauging a tee's sophistication, ask whether its graphics could hypothetically be framed and hung in a museum. Try this before your next purchase, though I'm not suggesting you swan around Florida wearing a Monet.
