I am quite bored and I have experienced this first hand as an Asian....
My story:
Let's have a story time shall we?
Okay, I am a mix. Filipino-Mexican American... Physically I look more Asian than Mexican. My older sib looks the most since she was 'blessed' with monolids.
So, I go to a Hispanic church where everyone speaks Spanish. I am much better in Spanish than Tagalog but I am learning.
When we get visitors, the first reaction they get is they see that I am Asian. The ratio of Asians in my church is 3 to 250 Hispanics... So of course we would stick out a little right?
Once we had this young girl, a Weeb I think, visit. Immediately after the Bible discussion, we met her in the bathroom. She noticed us and asked if we were Asian and we said yes. She also asked if we talked our language, we said yes then even though I knew very little.
Then she congratulated us for being Asian.
I thought it was offensive after I got home. Like it ain't all shiny and pretty.... I am really tired of people asking me if I am Asian or not.
