[nagdu] Blind Brockton woman says Seeing Eye dog notallowedintorestaurant

[Cathryn Bonnette]

Relax- no sweeping generalizations intended. The miscommunication was
resolved amicably, and a good time was had by all. I, too, have other
Philippines in my life along with people of myriad racial backgrounds.

Thanks for understanding-
Cathryn (& Abby)

Part of my family is Philippino and not all Philippinos eat dog.   
There has never been an issue with my dog, and my dog and I both, have  
been shown nothing but respect by Philippinos, by those we are related  
to/are friends with, and those who we meet.

It is important not to make sweeping generalizations about people,  
their culture, and their race.

I have had trouble in Asian restaurants, and grocery stores.  I have  
also had access issues in stores and restaurants run by Arabs,  
Africans, and Americans to name just a few.
