Always wondered that. For example, if a white person were to walk into a Chinese restaurant in Flushing, would they be treated rudely?

You would be treated rudely, but chinese patrons are treatedly rudely also. The chinese culture is not one politeness.
Everyone gets equally sheety service, so there is no discimination.

My husband and I have eaten in authentic Flushing restaurants many times and have never felt ostracized or uncomfortable. Also in Thai and Indian places in Woodside/Jackson Heights. At the end of the day, they're running a business.

Many latins are white. Latin is an ethnicity not a race. Just how white are you?

Interesting question to ask about New York City establishments in year 2013. Any rude customer who walks without humility into restaurant run by folk of different ethnic background than s/he deserves to be treated the same.

You're welcome, but they will talk about you in their native language behind your back.

What is with these questions? Of course man, damn. Just go eat. Business likes two things the most.. white and green. Come with both and you'll be fine.

This is correct.

Especially, after CNN coined "white hispanic" and "white latino" during the Zimmerman trial.

That's why I speak English behind their backs... so, they don't know what I'm saying either.
