I do know what you mean.
I'm from east europe,was born and grew up there and believe me, I have been going through it since I was born.
sometimes its ok, sometimes its funny but sometimes I wanna kill em all.
people r just so rude.
Hate it when people yell at me in the street, especially when they're driving and I'm walking. It startles me.

Thank you for getting that out there! I hope a lot of people read it and finally change the way they ask.
Hahaha i work in a sushi place people try to guess where im from and then start talking to me either a) in their own language if there from other parts of asia or b) westerners speak japanese or chinese to me. then i tell them i have no idea what theyre saying because im korean. i think they get a little embarassed HAHA. stupid people.
i always get people asking me if im from north korea or south korea. um if im from north korea, i would most probably be in a prison or dead.
yes this is really annoying incidence that happens to me all the time too.
except i really didn't learn all the korean mannerisms cause i was raised in the us, and then i hear all these stories about when you disrespect your elders you'll get bullied or something. and so now i have no idea what to do in front of the older korean kids in my school. usually i avoid eye contact and past by, but the formal language + all those mannerisms are so particular.
this happened to me yesterday in front of the train station.
its one of the worst feelings.

omg, i hate when people automatically assume.
a pirate mascot on this boat in japan was going around to get people to pay for pictures with him and assumed we were chinese first so he said some stuff in chinese and we shook our heads then he asked if we were korean by saying "hanguk nom?" and that's pretty rude and disrespectful. ugh, annoying.
I'm just sick of ignorant people who do stupid things like that. I was sitting in an airport the other day when a complete stranger asked if I was Japanese or whatever. I asked him why it mattered. He said he was just curious, and that sometimes he could "tell" where people are from. I'm not sure why that even matters. It shouldn't.
I think I'm just going to start telling people that I'm American and leave it at that.
your articles always make my day.
even if you american asians consider urself as american ignorant americans still gonna tell u konichiwa. you should be proud of ur origin, and be aware and also accept you guys grew up in america, but never forget ur roots. i didnt ever grow up in seoul, but im korean. im proud. never forget ur roots. but also accept it and also be aware of what you are cos of the enviroment. world sucks cos of ignorant people, but also be thankful that you are not one of them ,and things will change over time and its better to educate rather than hate.

always happen to me when i'm in clubs, people keep yelling konnichi wa or annyeong haseyo, it's weird that they don't say ni hao. it doesn't really bother me becoz it's usual but hey, sometimes i'm asking myself why they just don't come over and ask which ethnicity i am instead of yelling the language although they don't know anything except the greeting. lol
and WORD i totally agree with you, people are ignorant. oh and i love your articles, always make my day.
where i live in the US, its like koreatown #2 in the county (my county is around... 20...? in terms of richest counties in the country because of a couple of our towns with maddddd rich people LOL)
so, especially at my school, its like 15-20%korean and then 10-15%all other asians--not too sure if indians are included in this percentage but at school thank god no one does shit like "nihaooooo?! konnichiwa?!" koreans would probably gang up on them or something. freaking dumbasses would do that.
:D
but when i was younger, i would be extremely tempted to attack and beat the shit out of such ignorant people.
and if that happens (extremely rarely now... maybe in the mall. ugh even with many koreans that shop there, occasionally some stupid sales person starts saying hi in various languages... but at least they include korean here D:) nowadays i would probably say,
"ugh. CAN YOU NOT? you fucking idiot i'm korean and american so i understand english! next time ASK AN ASIAN ABOUT WHAT ETHNICITY THEY ARE you ignorant dumbass! UN-BE-LIE-VA-BLE."
