You're right, that is funny.

I guess, considering how many people don't believe that New Mexico is actually part of the US, I should not be surprised at the cluelessness of the general public. And still, cluelessness rampant.

Well, you know, I don't speak Japanese. My parents don't speak Japanese. Even my grandparents spoke a pidgin variant that Japanese-from-Japan people wouldn't really understand. But I do speak Spanish. Hee.

Yeah, and I try to be gracious, because most of the lack of clue is just that. My recently-ex-band's lead singer had a daughter, who was doing background vocals, who was so excited to meet me because she'd never met anyone Asian before. Ever.

I can't really blame her for the clueless things she said, because she's never had any opportunity to expand those horizons. I think that's the issue with most of those things, that to them it's a novelty; to me it's tedious.
