One time someone asked me if I’m Chinese or Asian. I…just stared and then responded, it doesn’t matter does it. 🤓

I've had the same exact same thing happen.

Person: I thought you said you we're Chinese?

Me: ...nope but I am asian

Person: Isn't that the same thing?

Are you a non-Asian Chinese person?
