I mind my business in a store when a rude customer faces me…I will never forget the shocking interaction

A dentist shares his shocking brush with racism after being targeted by random shoppers in a gift shop.

Last weekend, Peter Nguyen visited the Footscray store in Melbourne to find photo frames to match his recent home renovation.

The young Australian said he had never experienced blatant racism in the country until that day.

The legend began with him squeezing down a tight aisle and seeing an older man standing on his way, he said.

The man seemed to have not noticed that Mr Nguyen had five photo frames under his arm.

“I had to pass him to pay for my frame. As I walked towards him, I noticed that he was not moving. ” he said in the Tiktok video.

The dentist believes that maybe the man didn’t notice his proximity in peripheral vision, or his vision was damaged – but he was still ignored when he said “I’m sorry.”

Mr. Nguyen squeezed himself and his belongings behind the man, making sure not to touch him.

“I arrived at the cashier and suddenly he walked behind me.

“He was about 30 feet 40 meters from the cashier, and now when I was at the cashier he walked behind me and then he said, “Are you really going to push me in front of me?”

“I don’t know he was in line, he wasn’t there before me, I was waiting, but it was an old guy, so I was like, “Okay, keep going”.

But Mr Nguyen said the interaction did not end as he hoped.

“He looked at me and he said, “What are you doing even to make a living? Are you an immigrant if you waste taxpayers’ money? ” said Mr nguyen.

“Then he heard the cashier talk to each other in Vietnamese and he said, “Speak English, we are in Australia”.

“So I kind of look like what’s going on here right now…just try to keep it elegant, you know.”

But despite Mr Nguyen’s efforts to reduce the situation, the man has been asking about his work on making a living.

“He kept moving forward and made me like “what do you make a living” and I bet it’s not wise.”

Melbourne dentist avoids answering men.

But when he greeted the Vietnamese cashier in a common language, the man asked him what he was talking about.

Mr. Engel said: “I was like “Vietnam” and then he left, “Vietnam! Communist state.”

This is my first right interaction with blatant racism, especially in a very multicultural area. I want to say that I feel very popular in Australia.

“Most of the people I meet are so cute, but it’s definitely something that shocks me.”

This old man speaks Vietnamese to two people in Melbourne’s highly diverse valley suburbs.

Social media users apologize for men’s “shameful” behavior, and many believe “blatant racism” is on the rise.

“Sorry, you went through this. Australia likes to pretend we are much better than elsewhere, but racism here goes deeper and when people refuse to admit it, it only gets worse,” one woman wrote.

“You shouldn’t even take a minute. I am an Australian mom and have an adopted daughter from Vanuatu. Racism from others is terrible. Sorry, you went through this,” another said.

Sorry to hear, Peter. I think the situation is getting worse. I have Indian heritage and have lived in Australia for 40 years,” said one-third.

“The past five years have been so scary. It used to be present, but it wasn’t blatant – now people don’t even bother to hide it. ”

Others said they were surprised that the person was first in the suburbs of highly diverse feet.

“As a footprint resident, if he has problems with immigration, why would he come to the footprint? Sorry, this happened to you.

“It’s good for you not to bite and give him a reaction.”

Another joked: “This old man must be angry 24/7.”
