At some point, the number of generations that asian-american families have been in America will be large enough that the clueless subset of Americans will change their expectations. But I'm sure there will always be the creepo's that ask if we need greencards, while standing outside an unmarked van - waiting to whisk us away into the sex slave industry.

Things Smags+ Hate...
because I'm pretty sure I've heard every single one of these questions/comments. I think this video is entitled "PLEASE SAYING THIS STUFF TO ASIANS!"
I have a pretty big chip on my shoulder about getting the question "Do you speak English?" and I've often wondered why. Perhaps it's because I can't really speak Chinese that well, and if I didn't speak English as well as I do, WHAT WOULD I HAVE? I'd like to think people can see the neon signs above my head that scream "well-educated!" "perfect english" "Doesn't need a greencard!" but alas, this is not my reality.
