    ^ @ rut .. what r u? in ca??


    they always think i am chinese when i am not .. i am so opposite from you.. lol americans think chinese just cuz there is a bigger population here in the states .. so wrong .. i am viet/korean .. i don't mind being call azn but i do mind being call chinese .. it's offensive. if you don't know, just ask .. hate guessers ...

    Most people usually get it right the first time--I'm Chinese. :)
    But there are some people who ask me if I'm Filipino or Korean, haha.

    people greeted me in Korean when I walked into a Korean Restaurent; in Japanese when i walked into a Japanese Restaurant.

    I just like multi-culture lol, but still Asian.

    Yeh...happened to me a few times as well
    it doesnt really bother me if its in the shops etc

    but what really annoys me, is like at school when the teacher is talking about an asian country, eg Japan...she looks at me an then directs the question to me....>___< i'm like...i dont know...i aint Jap...
