SINGAPORE: A woman working in a customer service job took to social media ranting about how frustrated she was with racist customers.

"When I was in my 20s, I used to brush it aside quickly. But the older I get, I find myself getting increasingly frustrated with the rudeness that people exhibit,” said the woman

She and her friend, Ms Kaelia, had been taking selfies in a corner of the bathroom under a painting of pop superstar Beyonce, “minding our own business” like many others. But a Caucasian woman approached them and asked, “Is this what you all do with your life?”
