Someone just asked me if my parents are Chinese 👀 Please see my avatar for reference. ebony, I figured you'd get a laugh out of this one. I know people are always asking you dumb questions about being Chinese, but this has to be one of the dumber questions I've ever had.

Customer once asked a Korean co-worker if he was from the North or South.
I died.

I would think your co-worker would understand and not feel awkward or offended or anything. One time I was vacationing in Florida and it was very close to Christmas. So I got a haircut at this inexpensive salon in Miami and the lady cutting my hair was trying to be friendly, make small talk, etc. She asked me where I was from and I told I was a student at Indiana University and she said she had never been to Indiana and then she asked me if we celebrated Christmas in Indiana. There was a short pause while her face turned beet red. I was polite and said yes and maybe a little elaborating and that ended the stylist-clientele conversation. Poor thing. I'm sure I tipped her double i felt so bad.

I know people are always asking you dumb questions about being Chinese, but this has to be one of the dumber questions I've ever had. I asked someone the stupidest question, and to make matters worse, it was my uncle (actually my aunt's husband). I was very young at the time and since I knew my father wasn't English (he was from the Middle East) and he was brown, I asked my uncle, who was black, if it was very hot where he came from. He was born and bred in England so he was upset with me and answered me sharply. Now it seems a very racist remark but back then I was young and innocent and didn't mean it in a bad way.

I'm sure I tipped her double i felt so bad. Why should she be embarrassed? I'll assume she was an immigrant from Asia. I might ask her if they celebrate the Year of the Rat in Wuhan. She wasn't an Asian immigrant. She was just trying too hard to make small talk, hence her goofy question.

Họ đều là người Việt Nam hay người 한국어 ra đây. Do you speak a second language? I took two years of Italian in college, but I didn't retain it.

I saw some Chinese and Korean tourists in Miami and met some Kazakhs (or otherwise Russian-speaking Asians) who were either tourists or working in hostels.

I’m usually the one asking the stupid questions so I am more forgiving when others do it. Most of the times it’s realized right after saying it and I just laugh at myself.

We know few people are allowed to leave North Korea and almost all the Koreans here are from the South. But it's not really a stupid question. I don’t believe North Koreans are allowed to travel to the US?

I thought you were still in Canada. I went a road trip of sorts between Miami and Boston shortly before this corona shit.
