How Racist? Should I be offended?

[nickey009]

I thought this was pretty funny.

My girl and I were sitting at Cost-co enjoying our 1.50 polish dogs and a churro. I'm 1/2 Chinese and 1/2 Japanese. She's 3/4 chinese 1/4 Cambodian. Anyway, this dude sits down next to us and looks over and says "Hey, do you guys speak Asian?" I give him a sort of "what the hell did you just ask me?" look. As soon as the words escaped his lips he reeled back and said "I mean, do you speak any Asian languages?"

So, should I be offended? Would anyone ever go up to a random black guy and ask him if he speaks Africa?

Karate chop him, obviously.

If this offends you then prepare for a life of anger.

I think we hashed things out pretty well in teh last one no?

PS- to all you asians in the house, Id much rather get stereotyped as bowing, adn singing bad karaoke than smelling like garlic and grabbing your crotch all the time.

guids,

Bowing is only chapter 1. We still need to clear up chopsticks, eye gestures, the asian driving stereotype, and being good at math.

It's racist that you didn't just call you and your girlfriend 100% Asian in your post. 100% Oriental would have also been acceptable, but all the detail you put is just there to confuse us white folk and that's racist.
