It Worries Me How Dumb You Are

These are REAL conversations I’ve had with people:

Lady: So where are you from?
Me: I just moved from Korea
Lady: Oh so are your parents Jewish missionaries…?
Me: Uhh…no…?
Lady: Oh because I knew this Jewish girl whose parents were missionaries, not that you look Jewish or anything…

WTF?! No duh i don’t look jewish.

Dude: So where are you from?
Me: I just moved here from Korea
Dude: Oh is one of your parents Korean?

Do I look Korean?

Person: So where are you from?
Me: I just moved here from Korea
Person: North or South?

I don’t know how many times I’ve been asked this. Seriously if I even THOUGHT about living in North Korea I’d be an idiot seeing as I’d most likely be killed. This is the dumbest question ever…wait there’s a worse one…

*In elevator in a hotel in Hawaii about 5 or 6 years ago*

Full Grown 35 year oldish Blonde lady: So where is everyone coming from?
Random Guy: Utah
Random Gal: California
Me: Japan
Blonde lady: Wow!!!!! You’re english IS VERY GOOD

Like seriously are people really this dumb? I have not one Asian feature about me! GAHH.
