I'm not Asian, but am curious to know why the word Asian is relevant in your post?

Because detail is how we bring stories to life. Otherwise all of our statements would be “I did a thing with a person.”

It's about as meaningful as "a couple that had a red toothbrush," unless you want to make something from a word as nebulous as 'Asian.'

There's no life to the story, it's to vague to even parse. Who was eavesdropping on who? Both on each other? A mutually distrustful relationship? How much was the pay, what were the stipulations? Does 'duo' imply they work together?

Oh well, at least I know they're Asian.

“Funny enough, but this reminds me almost exactly of what I was asked to do while working for a White husband and wife duo.”

“Funny enough, but this reminds me almost exactly of what I was asked to do while working for a Jewish husband and wife duo.”

I guess it does add more detail.

Some details are merely descriptive. Others have a history of being associated with discrimination in some form.

Unless race is relevant to the story, it should be omitted. I’m sure there are plenty of other details about the couple that could be mentioned if you need to spice up the story.

"this reminds me almost exactly of what I was asked to do while working for a short guy and his wife."

"What do you have against short men?"

Perhaps it refers to geography rather than ethnicity?

Even funnier, this reminds me when my white boss asked me if I could hack into his white wife’s email. I told him I couldn’t. I’m also white.

Should've hired an Asian hacker.
