Don't worry buddy, I'm not even asian and I feel the same way you do. I'm not sure why everyone refers to all asians as chinese, perhaps its the first asian ethnicity that pops into their heads but towards an asian individual I could understand why it would be offensive. I am white and I live in South Africa, and quite frankly I'm sick and tired of every uneducated moron from America or the UK or wherever else (not saying all americans and brittish are uneducated) assuming all South Africans are black. Yes, two 3rds of the country is non white, but for christ sake, we have a lot of whites, indians, coloureds, and even asians here! Why is everybody in South Africa all of a sudden black? This annoys the hell out of me. What's worse is when I ask someone if they like sushi, and they tell me something like "no, I only like other chinese food like sweet and sour pork and stuff" Really?! Sushi is Chinese now? Since when. Also, when people make a joke towards the Japanese community about them eating cats or some shit. Not even all Chinese people do that! I've seen on the news that it has happened before in China, and now everyone assumes every single asian in the world eats cats. Its ridiculous.
Extremely infuriated by people who think all Asians are Chinese
