Hopefully one of the Asian guys can answer that. Every time they say that it does seem to include all like Eastern Asians (Koreans, Japanese included). Even if you don't know the language. I've been told it's the preference of the ladies as they don't like seeing non-Asian men and are at those places specifically because of that. Remember most are FOB, so a hairy Euro or Spanish dude may be ofputting to them. Also management has an easier time dealing with the folks from the same cultures that know how this work and what they can and can not do. The rest of use would be too much of a wild card. After years of read through different monger boards I can't say I blame them on that point, if it's true.
