Nothing Good Ever Follows the Words 'You People'

Hispanic woman: I love you Chinese people. You don't gain weight like us Americans. It must be some secret Chinese roots you eat.
Young Asian girl: [Stares quizzically]
Hispanic woman: You people even have all fried food and the sauce, but you stay so skinny. I love Chinese food, but it make me fat. Why it doesn't make you people fat? It is a Chinese secret; tell me it.
Young Asian girl: I'm actually of Japanese descent, and my family has lived in Jersey since the 1920's.
Hispanic woman: But you still skinny.
