My mom and I were checking out at a liquor store and the friendly clerk decided to play the ethnicity guessing game. clerk: Are you Chinese?
mom: No...
clerk: Oh. Filipino?
mom: No...
clerk: Korean?
mom: No, we're Japanese.
clerk: Ohhh...five dollars please.
Although some may argue that it's not good to talk about others' ethnic background, I think it's actually pretty fun guessing others' ancestry. I just don't get why no one ever guesses "Japanese". I supposedly have a stereotypically Japanese face. |
