When my friends and I run out of things to talk about, we stare at each other, cock our heads, and ask, “What kind of Asian have you been mistaken for?” We then proceed to list which Asian ethnicities our parents would be okay with us dating. MLIA.

While I studying at Starbucks, a Dominican woman was speaking loudly and ended her sentence with “… like a Chinese person.” She then saw me, cursed under her breath, and sunk into her chair. While mingling at a friend of a friend’s apartment, I met a nice Russian guy who asked, “Where you from, China?” While ordering a $5 baked-chicken sub at Subway, the Indian employee paused while reaching for the lettuce. “You Chinese?” I’m Korean. MLIA.
