My wife found a lot of examples.  Unfortunately, some of them support 
your view of them too :)  I'll post both.  And yes, one of them is the 
Nazi thing if I remember correctly.

Fiddlesticks!  There have been studies in the past year about people 
being pushed to have abortions, especially in free and community and 
student clinics.  I'll have to see if I can find them.  They were very 
very disturbing.  I think one of the stories was in Focus on the 
Family's Citizenlink.

The fact that this had anything to do with her being Korean has nothing 
to do with speculation.  They patronized her.  They told her how they 
were understanding of 'her situation'.  They assured her that she would 
remain anonymous, etc, etc, etc.  They treated her like she could not 
understand English, and ignored the fact that she spoke flawless 
English.  There was no question they altered their behavior because she 
was Korean, or more likely, they were too ignorant to know that, and 
treated her as a generic 'Asian'.
