BTW Asians are very bad in general identifying white peoples nationalities too. That’s not racism.

I worked with several Asian people years ago and we had this discussion. I asked what am I they said white. I was like I am Irish, my wife German, Bob is Polish his wife Italian, Dave is Jewish and our big boss is English and that guy is Australian and not even American as not a citizen yet.

It is as if they think White is a Nationality. I blew their mind when I told them Grant from our external auditor is from South Africa and is white.

My parents are born in Ireland my wife’s parents born in Germany but to most Asians I am white.

My friend is Japanese her father is English her mother Japanese and she was born and raised in Japan. She is not a US Citizen. When she went to NYU no one believed she was Japanese. Or they call her AmerAsian or American but she is not American. We had a crazy discussion with a Japanese business man she can’t be Japanese as speaks perfect English. She responded I an an English major at NYU. He bet us a round she could not prove it she whips out her IPhone clicks YouTube and she was a pretty famous Japanese Game show hostess and had a picture of her with Empress of Japan. He got us very drunk. He remembered her show.

Is any of this racist? No. [/quote]

That's because you asked at work. If they have a beer in their hand they are Irish, a sausage means they're German. Joking aside, my white friends still enjoy the time they had to carry me out of a bar and I mentioned we were making an "Irish exit." I suppose they should have sat me down and lectured me about famine and years of discrimination but instead we have a good laugh.[/quote]
