I get asked questions all the time, including ones about Karate, Chopsticks, and I even had one idiot when i was younger ask if I knew how to use a fork... ...and yet no one ever questions why i always take off my shoes whenI come into their house. man, I’m only half-Korean and I know what you mean… I get asked questions all the time, including ones about Karate, Chopsticks, and I even had one idiot when i was younger ask if I knew how to use a fork…

Mostly it's just how much I love India and Indian food. If anything about America comes up it's "so you guys don't love you parents?" since they know we don't live with our parents once we're pretty much grown up...

All I get is "Where's that?" and "Oh so you are like Swedish?" We are very sensitive about being called Swedes. We have a saying: We are not Swedish and we do not want to become Russian. The thing about that is, if anyone even cares, is that we have been a language unrelated to Indo-European languages and a culturethat is not the same. We were never Vikings or anything. We were under Swedisn rule for hundreds of years and then were handed over to Russia. It was a big identity crisis for us because we had seen ourselves as a type of Swede and then we were definately Swedish anymore, being given up by them and we had no reason to want to be Russian, the cultural differences were even greater. So we had to get our identity straight and realized we had been Finns all along and did not need a king or a Tzar to define us. Then, up until the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the Russians have seemed to have this hard-on for ruling us. Well, now you know, sorry for gong so long. I love Indian food, oh and elephants and then there is the pretty clothes. Do you wear a red thumbprint on your head? Kidding...couldn't resist.

Quiet occasionally believe that with elephants now also in the metropolitan cities, Its actually makes sense having HOV lanes. Yeah, my dad gave me his first elephant when I started high school. Said its important for me to learn how to ride one before going for the newer models with high bio-gas emissions. :D I love having such conversation with dubious folks with little knowledge.

First off, I'm from California, so *that* gets annoying (I live in teh cold, rainy, distinctly NOT LA part of CA). And then I have Roma heritage- or, that is to say, 'Gypsy'. Let;s just say that the four months everyone seemed to spend quoting 'Borat' was unpleasant, to say the least. Lord, I hate this one.

Best reply so far: "I learned it on the plane while flying from India to Canada." :-) Here in Canada the question that is often asked of people from India is “Where/how did you learn to speak English so well?”.

I think everyone should have to travel outside of the country of their birth for just a little while. That's all it really takes to make you realize how small your way of thinking is. And Phazzer- what the hell man? You think you got stereotyped? I'm actually from the southern United States. I get that kind of stuff from people on both coasts and everyone living above the Mason Dixon Line. Who is applying these stereotypes to you? And where do you live? Sorry to hear that Krishna.
