    They always refer us as Chinese.

    They don't care if you are Cambodian, Vietnamese, Japanese, Korean, or Chinese; white, black, and Hispanic will always refer us as Chinese. They will never know how to tell the difference. It is just like beating a dead horse.-noclue

    not only Cantonese people has the possibily of being mistaken as viets...but also before I used to think that Cantonese language was similar to Vietnamese...hehe...but yeah not anymore...however...I might still mistaken Cantonese as Viet n vice versa...since some Asian people look similar to one another...

    I only get mistaken for viet from foreigners much like how I can't tell the difference between someone from Mexico vs. Brazil.
