Instead of saying you are Asian, you should be more specific. (Like I'm a Korean, Thai, Philina, or Japanese, so ppl don't have to guess.)

I don't know if you live in NYC, if that is the case, you might have observed that most Asian immigrants in New York are from China therefore the low chances of going wrong by assuming an Asian person is Chinese in NY or in downtown of Manhattan is very small.
In my home country (Brazil, Sao Paulo), most Asia's immigrants are from Japan, in fact Sao Paulo is a city with the largest Japanese colony or immigrants in the world and because of that, most people in Sao Paulo and in the rest of the country refers to an Asian person as Japanese with no stereotype or discriminating intent but because its high probability of an Asian person in Sao Paulo being a Japanese.

Well media does have a lot of chinese shows, so stereo types think that if your japanese, korean, malaysian, etc. your chinese because of what they see. I'm half japaneseand yes ppl do think im chinese, but just ignore them, it just means they should think before they speak

haha I know how you feel!
It's probably cause of our eyes.
But, look at the other perspective. When you look at a white-skinned person, you automatically think they're American,when in fact, they're Italian, French, etc.

probably because when ppl think asian they automatically think chinky eyes, rice n noodles, dark hair, n all that. i get that too sometimes. people just have stereotypes just like jerry up there said. ^
