I thought you were Chinese man..

People do that "ching ching" or "chow mien" to me on the street so I tell them I'm from Kyrgyzstan and they don't know where that is. I tell them its next to Portugal and they get all silent and amazed. Ignorance is funny.

Not ethnicity but I once got asked if they had sandwiches in Iceland. It was very random.


Did you say "No, but the frozen pizzas are banging"?

We were randomly watching Rihanna's 'where have you been' music video and when we got to the desert scenes proper, my friend asked
"You guys live there with huts right?''

Yes I am black,
Yes I was asked this question in 2016,
Yes, I was utterly shocked,
Yes, this girl and I are still friends, close friends

circa 2013, at a ball in Maidenhead. I'm Romanian. He got to feel a good Romanian fist up his chinny chin chin.
