As a young (25) and minority (Asian) traveler, I have often found myself the subject of mistreatment/discrimination by F/A's. It has been my experience that the F/A's will treat my seatmate (most often 40-50's Caucasian male) better: the F/A's would exhibit more "sincere" attitude with smiles to him whilst to me "polite" and efficient service.

Well, I am 22 and asian too. I always fly F when flying CX and never had any bad experiences. The flight attendants seem to enjoy serving me and they take the time to "remember" me from the time I board the aircraft. I can even walk around the aircraft to the other cabins with no problem (I wear my F slippers when doing so). Once I told the FA in the F galley that I was going for a walk around the aircraft and she said "its all yours". When returning to my F seat from Y (passing by J), the J FAs seem to know that I am in F and don't question me.
I even got a bottle of Lynch Bages as a gift on one of my flights because the flight was overbooked and the cabin was filled with upgrades from J. When I got on the flight (first pax to board), I was immediately told that I was one of the the few "revenue bookings" in F for that flight.
