Asian Servant Boy

I am a senior in college living in an off campus apartment. The apartment is a two bedroom

right across the street from the campus so when my roommate of 3 years graduated I put a notice

up in the dorms for a roommate.

A young asian guy came by in response of the ad. His name was Roxy he was small and slight in

build probably about 100lbs looking for some place quiet so he could study. Since I was a senior

focused on graduating not partying he figured that living here would be what he needed. I

figured that since he wanted some quiet for studing he would be the perfect roommate.

Roxy moved in and we got along OK. Between his studying and his part-time job in the local

pizza parlor as a waitor we only saw each other for a few minutes day.

After about a month and a half he lost his job as the pizza parlor cut back due to the slow

economy. I told him he could stay til the end of the month but after that he would have to

leave. Roxy was cool with that as he thought he could find another job. However at the end of

the month Roxy was still unemployed.

I was in the kitchen when Roxy came in.

“I am very sorry but I can not find another job.” Roxy said. “But I have an idea that you

might like.”

Feeling sorry for him “Oh like what?”

“Where I am from many a white men have asian boys for servants.” he explained.

“Servants? What kind of servant?” I ask.

“I clean your house, do you laundry, run errands, and take care of any needs you have.” he

stated.

“OK we’ll try it for a while.” I respond.

For the next week Roxy kept the apartment clean, did the laundry, and ran errands for me.
