Lexie: Excuse me?
Bandera Guest: Is this the year of the ox? You're asian, aren't you?
Lexie: Uh, yes.
Bandera Guest: (astonished) And you don't know if this is the year of the ox?
Lexie: (irritated)...No, but maybe I can find that out for you.

a few minutes later, at another table...Lexie is addressing a table of 8 people sitting in a booth designed for 6.
Lexie: Usually we split up a party this large between two tables so you will be more comfortable.
Bandera Guest #2: I don't want to hear this. I wouldn't be here if we had to sit at separate tables.
Lexie: I was just extending the offer.
Bandera Guest #2: You're from the far east. We're from the middle east. We like it like this.

15 minutes later at the same table...
Bandera Guest #2: What is that small country south of China?
Lexie: (confused) I'm not sure. (Eyes Mark, who travels frequently. to him) Do you know of a small country south of China?
Mark: No.
Bandera Guest #2: No, you should know this, you're Chinese.
