"When out west year before last, Yellowstone concessions were covered up with oriental employees. Many could barely speak English."
That really surprises me since we spend about a month and a half in Yellowtone each season (since we live in the area) and have many friends who work in the park, and we see some Asians, mainly Chinese (not referred today as "Orientals"), but there are many Eastern Europeans and mostly Americans from all over. We eat a lot at Fishing Bridge and Canyon and have never had an Asian server. I will, however, admit that there is a very large number of Chinese visitors to the park, and the town of West Yellowstone is being jokingly referred to as "Little China" by the locals since the Chinese seem to prefer to stay there -- four good Chinese retaurants and a couple of hotels being developed by the Chinese. Visiting Yellowstone is heavily promoted in China.
