Yesterday I blogged being mistakenly identifyed by a Chinese student as being Japanese. Today, I went to the Department of Motor Vehicles and had a similar experience.
I went to the DMV during the break in between classes to get my Carolina driver's license. I signed my name at the front desk and later when the clerk was talking to the woman at the desk about the list of people still waiting, he mentioned my name and she said "that's the Oriental gentleman." I should have responded, "ahh .. yes .. but the term that I really prefer is 'slant eye.'"
