Why is it the same kind of people run almost every subway?

I thought it was just an urban thing but stopped at a subway way out in the middle of nowhere alabama (was certain it would be like a 100% white area and the same kind of non-oriental Asian people were running it.

What caused this?

At least with convience stores you get a mixture of indians and nigerians but these guys have subway on complete lockdown.

I think just saying, "brown people" would have been less offensive than your original description.

I've never really seen a pattern, the one near here is run by an old white guy with a push-broom mustache.

Probably because Subway is the cheapest restaurant franchise to buy into.

^well why don't americans buy it like they do waffle house? why don't nigerians buy them like they buy gas stations?

the orient does not include the middle east.

except nickleprice doesn't think the middle east is part of asia. What are they then? Africans? europeans?

I dont know, but I think "non-oriental Asians" makes sense as a term. Since most people don't consider Indians, Syberians, or Saudis to be "Oriental"

so instead of describing them as non-oriental asians why wouldn't you just put middle-eastern, if that's really what you meant?

Everyone you just named EXCEPT for Egypt is Asian

Every subway I've ever been to, even now, is owned by normal people. Not sure WTF you're talking about.

Quote :

I'm pretty sure most subways are still owned by Americans...unless of course its legal to be here on a work visa and own your own business.

i like the term oriental because its very clear to everyone what you mean.


most people don't know enough geography to know the difference between east asian, south asian, southeast asian, etc


mongoloid would work, too, but that is more offensive

this has been my experience


on a side note, though they are indeed part of the asian continent i never considered russians or those from the middle-east "asian," at least as far as a the colloquial term is concerned

you never see these types of people in miami...unless you go in subway. Its like they ship them into places where they aren't part of the population specifically to work at subway.

In any event, you shouldn't use "oriental" when referring to people. It may be used when referring to items such as rugs and so on.

subway is still very diverse from my experience, of the three closest to me, one is white, one is black, one is mexican, and the mexicans probably win

I think the best were the indian or arab ones in raleigh though

Subway is a boring, legitimate business. Waffle House is an exploitative business by its very nature. White people would much rather be exploiting poor people who work the night shift and truckers who have to drive all night than just selling sandwiches to regular white collar dudes at $5 a pop.
