Location: the grocery store

Cashier: “So are you Chinese or Japanese?”

Me: “I’m Vietnamese, actually.”

“Do you speak Chinese?”

“Um, no.”

“They tried to teach us some Chinese in school. Man, that shit is hard! It takes like an hour to write ‘I love you!’ So are you Chinese or Japanese?”

“Like I said, I’m Vietnamese.”

“So… is that Chinese or Japanese?”

“Can I just pay for my stuff now?”
