Even he would occasionally ask me questions like whether I know martial arts, how to eat with chopsticks, and if I drink sake all the time.

- Some Af-Ams do this as well. When I describe someone as Vietnamese or Laotian, or God forbid, Hmong, I'll get: "So they're Chinese?". -- nm - Diva Feb 8, 09:20 2

    - I found this mostly prevalent in Af-Ams who didn't live in or come from big cities like NY and LA. - Diva Feb 8, 09:38
