Don't you hate it when people ask you if you can speak chinese? I realize this isn't a big issue with most of you, but I get asked this all the time. Usually the conversations goes something like this.

Random Guy: "Do you speak chinese?"
Me: "I'm Japanese dude"
Random Guy: "Answer the question"

After I explain that Asians don't all speak "Chinese", he asks me do I know how to curse in Japanese. Ok why the hell do you want to know? Isn't that kinda a half assed way of cussing? Ooo I wanna curse at someone and they won't even know it! Completely pointless.
And its even LESS useful when you really need to curse.
Some Jackass "You wanna go dude? No? Fuck off then you fucking cocksucker."
Random Guy: "Tojiko amatsu daifuku!!!!!"
Jesus Christ. Even the Jackass might feel sorry for you after that.

haha I tried to look some up and I came across this:

Now, why would you want to know some Japanese swear words?
Are you just trying to insult the Japanese language?
Japanese people are going to be offended by this, you know.
I insist that you don't need to know any swear words, anyways. When you're grown up, you're not going to be allowed to be swearing at people. Think about it. What you do now, is going to shape your future tomorrow.
And this is going to shape your future up into something bad.

I never really minded it too much. I usually just thought of it as an ice breaker topic when you just met someone.

Happened to me all the time. I'm Japanese/Korean, so when it comes to guessing Asian-looking Asians, you've got a 66% chance of at least getting it half-right! But no, it never happened. Always the damned Chinese.

Haha this is true people at school said that to me often. (I'm chinese)

Since I am cursed the glad owner of a 7 digit ICQ Number i get like 5~20 new contact requests per day, with like 90% being chinese or russians. After trying to communicate with my with their non-existant german or english they ussually ask if i speak their language and the convo ends instantly or with some curses..
Someday, you’re going to fuck up so magnificently, so ambitiously, so overwhelmingly that the sky will light up and the moons will spin and the gods themselves will shit comets with glee. And I just hope I’m still around to see it.

Only happens when that random guy is non-Asian. Asians tend to be able to tell each other apart.

My dad was at a cocktail party when some guy walked up to him and asked him "How do you say "You're an idiot" in Chinese." My dad realizes that obviously this white guy is up to no good, so he says "Wo shi yi ge da ben dan" which translates to "I'm an idiot." Obviously, the guy proceeds to go to every Chinese person and becomes completely confused as to why everybody's laughing at him.

i get that all the time too. it's as if stupid people, without coordinating, somehow manage to do the exact same thing in every part of the world, thousands of miles apart from each other.

It's easy to tell the difference between Chinese and Koreans. I think.
Japanese not so easy .
And of course there are some exceptions.
The only courage that matters is the kind that gets you from one moment to the next.
