How did the chick not know she was Asian?? *boggles* Wouldn't her facial features/skin colour tip her off? tpirtpuoiurqw.

I have no idea. I was in a state of perma-boggle the entire time I lived with her. She thought Burma was in England because her grandmother had an English accent (I tried to explain why that should be, to no avail). You could tell by looking at the girl that she was at least part Asian. She even had a surname that was obviously Asian (something -ang, I can't remember exactly what). Oh, and she was Jewish but had never heard of Passover.

This was not a bad school at all, either. I still can't figure out how she got accepted. She failed every placement test.

	Wow, that's truly... something. LOL. I don't think I've ever encountered someone who didn't know they were Asian. Did she wind up flunking out of college eventually? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I'm going to assume the gal was from the US simply because the Burma = England thing. But, as bizarro as it seems, a lot of folks from the deep South and American heartland really don't have any idea of their families' history. And they don't seem to have much interest in it either, which is strange considering the importance they place on DAR and UDC legacy. (Reply to this)(Parent)
