And, it must be great to live in such privilege that one can brand that 2nd hotel employee -- who's obviously fearful of losing his livelihood if he dared to confront any customer -- as "disgusting" for not being able to do anything. He too, is a victim, but who cares let's just blame him, right? If only there's a western hero to step in and save the day.
But what's most disturbing to me is the "my culture is superior than your (Asian) culture" attitude displayed here. This kind of **** attitude is why this incident happened in the first place.
What a load of rubbish. Your mental gymnastics are a pathetic and transparent attempt at shifting the blame!
The problem is crystal clear - fear of authority in the culture. It exists in the West too, in certain spheres, where people unfortunately must make daily decisions about where their tolerance boundaries lie. Bullies exist in every culture and walk of life.
But the boundaries (in civilised countries) definitely lie at displays of physical violence in public.
And what does it matter if the victim is male or female! Nobody should be treated like that. NOBODY.
