[Asian-male]

I’m an Asian and have been in Utah four years. When I travel to other states, people treat me nicer than here. I have lots of friends, and some of them who speak English as their first language tell me I speak English well enough for people to understand me. But I sometimes see people who seem to pretend they’re not understanding what I say. One old lady never talked to me even though I asked for the price of some stuff. Why do people in Utah act this way?

Being from Hawaii, it is a commonly known fact that Utah has a sizable population of Pacific Islanders (especially Samoans and Tongans) because the Mormons have a large degree of success with those groups. If you check the websites for the BYU and Utah football teams, you’ll find that about 1/3 of the football players are of Polynesian descent. Being from Hawaii, I am more familiar with Polynesian last names so I’ll know which of those players are Polynesian
