I was nearly denied service

The other night my sister and I went to a Turkish restaurant in Itaewon. Our server was friendly and the food was great. However, on our way out, our server stopped us and randomly asked if I was Jewish, to which I truthfully responded “no”. His demeanor changed and he suddenly became very apprehensive and kept on insisting that I was Jewish because he saw my surname on my bankcard (which may or may not be of Jewish origin). Still, I insisted that I was not, to which he replied “because if you were I would not have served you” and I was just like “ok…” and then left.

I understand the political climate at the moment but this kind of blatant discrimination happening here is unacceptable and I’ve never felt more embarrassed in my life. I don’t think anything going on in the world right now should justify this kind of witch-hunt behavior by foreigners living here.
