Is it normal he made a comment on race?
My boyfriend and I are both white, I live in a populated asian neighborhood. One day we were walking and he casually said 'there's a lot of chinese people here.' This comment took me back and all i could think to say was 'shh, don't be rude.' He then asks how he was being rude and I couldn't think of what to say. It's not that I think he's a rude person for making that comment, i just thought it was inappropriate to say out loud, it made me feel uncomfortable and was embarrassing for me to be around him at that moment, I'm not sure if anyone around us heard him. Shouldn't people keep those observations to themselves? Should I have felt embarrassed by what he said or not?
