Female Acquaintance: “I was wondering…what’s your ethnic background?”

Me: “I’m Chinese.”

Oblivious Acquaintance: “Oh really? But you’re so beautiful and pretty!!!”

Me, Staring Back with Daggers: “What the f*ck does that mean?”

Sweating, Fumbling, Bumbling Acquaintance: “Oh–um–I mean…I just thought you might be mixed or something.”


Smh. I get this all. The. Damn. Time. Caught this person redhanded with a backhanded compliment— some people don’t think before they speak.
