[quote=Anonymous]14:00 - I don't think anyone is saying that. In this particular case OP observed no other attention paid to the ethnicity of the other parents touring. It didn't sound to me like he was making any assumptions, just stating what he observed and that it made him uncomfortable. As for the question about stereotyping all whites, I don't think OP is assuming all white people are viewing him as an other, just the ones that ask intrusive questions and prattle on about random tidbits about how accepting they are of "Asian" culture (as if there is some homogeneous Asian culture). He didn't say he walks around on other tours and sees white people and just waits for them to ask him about his background. He was caught offguard, hence the discomfort. [/quote]
