In my opinion, racial discrimination is almost non-existent in Panama. As for Asians specifically, there are a lot of Asians living in Panama. There are streets and shopping malls that are full with shops owned by Asians, and all smaller supermarkets and fresh fruit shops (that sell veggies and fruits from all over the world) I've seen are owned by Asians, as well as some of the best restaurants, computer shops, laundry services, etc. You can also buy CDs and DVDs in Asian languages and by Asian artists. The larger banks, like HSBC bank or Continental bank have employees who speak Chinese. There are also language schools for Asians. I'd say Panama and Panamanian people know that foreign people brought them to where they are today, that's why they are treated with kindness and respect.
