Because people like to stereotype. they probably assume that because you are Asian that you are bhuddist or something!
society is very strange.
I once knew a korean girl that was Jewish!
I never questioned her about it!

People like to establish categories and then put others into those neat little packages. The problem is that no person fits into some prejudged niche.
The majority of Catholics are to be found in Latin and South America and in Africa. Africa will soon have the largest number of Catholics of any other continent.
There are many Catholics in South Korea and many Vietnamese are Catholic.

You should use as an example, The Phillippines. The nation, once a spanish colony, is mostly catholic today.

Dude - Americans don't know anything about world history, or they'd know Catholicism was in China long before Protestants were in America.

well, im not sure it is weird, its just the society we lived in. my husband is catholic and he was born here in los angeles, he involved himself with different friends and religion. but his friend never deny or question his, i guess here in los angeles, other respected others view and faith as well. i think you should just pray and try to understand others curiosity .
beside of all of this, how does your parents think of your issue? they are second generation of catholic, pretty sure they are able to coach you...
