white person to asian coworker: Oh hey did you get done eating your noodles
Asian coworker: ...Um what? Did you just assume that I would eat noodles... cause I'm Asian?
White coworker: I mean yeah don't you

Asian coworker is annoyed, and so goes to manager to explain his grievance. Manager handwaves him away and says "Look, white coworker did not mean to offend you. I wouldn't worry about it." Asian coworker gives up because he doesn't want to be seen as a problem.

asian person to white coworker: Oh hey did you get done eating your unseasoned chicken
White coworker: ...Um what? Did you just assume that I would unseasoned chicken because I'm white?
Asian coworker: I mean yeah don't you

White coworker is annoyed, and so goes to manager to explain his grievance. As a white man himself, manager doesn't recall having a preference for unseasoned chicken. He is not flattered by this ugly stereotyping. "Listen, Asian coworker, you can't make such racially insensitive jokes in the workplace. Understand?"
