(10,173 posts)I have heard this,
and my girlfriend and I get stares as well. She is American, her family came from Japan over 50 years ago but no she is still "Japanese " in people's eyes.
Despite the fact she has the most Bostonian accent you'll hear in your life.

(10,173 posts)I hear it all. Some of it I can forgive - some people do lead very sheltered lives and don't mean harm and aren't familiar ..they can't help but ask questions and are polite. They're just curious. ..but many more are just assholes.
I'm black and my gf is Asian american so we've gotten our fair share of crap.
