Re: How Racist? Should I be offended?
I don't think you should be offended. He was just trying to make polite conversation and was curious to know if you spoke a foreign language. He probably doesn't know what to call the different Asian languages, so he simply said Asian. As soon as he realized what he'd said, and that it could be interpreted offensively, he did his best to correct himself. He's ignorant, but I don't think he's trying to be offensive.
