Hi guys, I'm from the United States, my "supposed" ethnicity is full Vietnamese. I found this site through Google and thought it was interesting.
So when I go out and meet new people they always (almost have to) ask what am I? This is how the conversation usually goes.
Person: So what are you?
Me: Option 1: Human(If I'm in a snippy mood)
Option 2: Vietnamese.
Person: Seriously? You look Indian/Jewish/Arabian/Mexican/Latino. What with your curly hair.
Me: Oh, I didn't know I looked like that.
Person: Yeah, totally, your dad Indian or something?
Me: I don't know my dad.
Person: Oh, sorry. Bye.
Over the years, I tired of these redundant conversations and soon just made an easy answer for a quick conversation.
Person: So what are you?
Me: Jewish.
Person: Sweet.
