Top Ten Ways to Annoy an East Asian

The Top Ten
1 Ask them for help with math homework

No, we don't want extra homework to do. We have recreation time too, you know.

2 Call them Chinese

Not every Asian is Chinese. Koreans and Japanese have distinctly different cultures. For example, the Japanese have different arts than Koreans or Chinese, including kabuki theater, Noh Drama, the code of Bushido, etc.

3 Blame them for your lost dog
4 Try to blind them with dental floss

Okay, that's wrong on so many levels.

That would hurt them

Deserves to be #1.

5 Serve them only rice

Rice is a staple food in all East and Southeast Asian countries, along with Latin America, but we don't eat it all the time. I mean, I like pizza, so...

They also eat noodles

6 Compliment them on their English

Come on! Some Asians have lived in an English speaking nation (USA, UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand) for their whole lives, studying English.

This would be a bad thing to say to anyone from a non-English speaking country.

7 Ask them for a medical operation

They might not know how to perform them

8 Tell them that they hang out with other Asians

It's true in some cases (there's some sort of "Asian clique" at school, according to people in those groups), but not always.

9 Try to act "kawaii"
10 Call them North Korean

Not all Asians are North Korean

The Contenders
11 Ask them if they like Indians
