So your anecdote about your friend's experiences with Asian Americans trumps all of the article's examples from social media about people who are bothered by this question? Honestly, I think we might just live in very different worlds. I don't know where you're from, but the culture there must be very different than it is here. I posted this from one of my close friend's Facebook timelines. She's Vietnamese, and often complains about this question. My ex girlfriend was Chinese, but was adopted into a family with a very Germanic last name, and she dealt with people who were surprised she wasn't white all the time. I really don't think I'm the only one to give a shit. Maybe I'm the only one who cares on hubski?
