1. I think the first statement is sexist. The reason I believe so is because it's referring to a woman as a chic. No woman in the world would like to be called a chic. Instead would have said, Did you see that woman over there?
2. The second statement is racist because it's stereotyping one race saying that all Asian people are short and how they don't reach over five feet. I had a hard time coming up with a alternative language for this statement.

This person must feel people from other countries act like animals or something which is absurd to me. Like I said earlier in one of my statements there is no alternative language I could make for this statement because this is another situation where someone is being
