Strange question...

[thepeopleseason]

Had a drunk woman accost me tonight (the one who was quite piercingly whoo-ing earlier in the night), after I helped her to pick up her pen at the Bar.

She first asked my race, specifically wondering about the source of my height and size (I get a lot of people wondering if I'm Korean--do I have Korean features? I don't know--I have about as much trouble telling races apart as the average, stereotypical "white boy"). When I told her I was Chinese, she expressed surprise.

Then she asked the really odd question:

Are you married...or are you gay?

as if the two options were the only options available.

I don't know what to think of that.

I was just going to say it's because he looks like the guy from Harold and Kumar (Harold being Korean)....

MILF stiffler's mom... damn I missed out on that tall Korean Gene.

Shiny skin like oily?

I think it's very hard to categorize Korean skin as shiny, a lot of tone? or taller. I've noticed that many 1st generation or 2nd generation korean kids growing up in the United States are typically taller.

Milk, it does a body good.. especially those BGH additives. The same reason younger girls have bigger boobs.

I know very few people of my parents generation that are taller than 5' 7". I really think diet has a lot to do with it.

Some people I can guess their geographic regions without a doubt, but then some people are more non-descript.

James, I don't see any Korean features when I look at. I think some people just guess Korean because, China and Japan are mainstream guesses, they want to sound different? maybe seem intelligent?

Well I'm being very critical ... enough of that.
