Weird Things Happen to me all the time #2

Today my roommate and I went to a Thai restaurant. The food was pretty good if somewhat pricey. However the waiter, although the fact that my Chinese is way better than my roommate's and also the fact that Rodger is visibly a white guy and I am not, refused to talk to me and only addressed his comments to Rodger and in fact when the food was brought, put it closer to Rodger's place and not mine. Rodger told me that this was not uncommon of his experiences in China, but it's the first time I've experienced it anywhere, ever.
