“You must be the IT person.”
“You aren’t like them + You don’t act very Asian.”
“Asian Americans are not risk takers.”
“Where are you from? No, where are you really from?”
“Oh, you speak English good!”
“You’re not a minority because all Asians are rich and successful.”
“You’re not Asian, you’re from India.”
