“Excuse me, what’s your nationality?”
“I’m from the U.S.”
“No,” he chuckled, “like, where are you originally from?”
“I was born and raised in the U.S.”
“You know what I mean!”
“You’re talking about ethnicity…” I offered.
“Yeah, whatever. Like, where are you really from?”
“I’m Chinese.”
“That’s what I thought!” I was looking at you and wondering if you were mixed or something.”
Silence.
“I adopted two girls from China!”
“Good for you.”
