    I love how when I told my coworkers that it enrages me when people ask "Where are you from?" because I think it's racist, they were like "but people make assumptions about white people all the time?" This is of course ignoring the obviously racist assumption that you must not be American. Phaw. It's making me annoyed just typing this out.

    while I don't look asian (half) I have been asked a few times where I come from originally and on one occasion (I mentioned this elsewhere on 8asians I think) I got asked if I had a British passport while applying for a summer job during university.

    On the reverse I'm still not happy with comments from strangers (whilst visiting family in the Philippines) that my mum is "my maid".

    Welp. You've convinced me to add Modern Family to my Hulu queue.
