Funny(?) enough, efforts by Chinese-Americans to differentiate themselves from Japanese-Americans to the racist majority of the US were largely successful during WW2.

This seems wild to me. So they seem some guy using chopsticks and they're like "git him, oh wait hold on...raw fish: Japanese, fried rice: Chinese. Wait what did Ruth say about noodles... Flat noodle, Chinese foodle, noodles in broth or round, go get that clown."

Lol you'd be surprised. Sometimes it doesn't even come from a bad place.

My ex (ages ago) wanted to understand and support my culture better, so she went out and watched Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift.

Likkeeeee I appreciate the effort but bruuuhh I'm Filipino. Wtf.

Some people just grow up thinking "Asian is Asian".
