really?

I overheard this short exchange on the trolley this morning.

white middle aged man: Do you speak Spanish?

20 something girl: Uh, no, I'm Japanese.

Oye. I looked at my friend next to me and we both gave one another the 'did that just happen?' eye. I won't say I'm the brightest bulb in the bunch, but it is times like these when I understand why some people think Americans are ignorant. Or just have no mouth filter whatsoever.

You know, Mexican and Japanese people look SO alike! Perhaps the person needed their vision checked??
