@clh72569 This made me chuckle. I have a friend who is of Chinese descent, but a couple generations back as well. Born in Canada, her parents born in Canada. She's at my house, and my "I'm so worldly and travelled" niece goes "So, where are you from?" and this lady replies "Canada." My niece, not taking the hint, asks "Yes, but where are you REALLY from?" ... *crickets* from the whole room.
My wife is Asian, and I've seen people ask her the same thing. When they find out her background is Chinese, it's often followed up with something equally cringe-worthy. "Chinese! I love Chinese food! I just had sushi for dinner the other night!"

Same here. Some people are SO ignorant. It's like when I say I don't like spicy food and people look at me totally shocked and say "What!!! What Mexican doesn't like spicy food?"
FIRST of all I'm not Mexican, you MORON.
Second, just go away, I can't even entertain stupid.8 -

Whoops. Too late. I just turned and walked away.10 -
