In the quad at school today there was a short Asian-American kid being eccentric, waving to people from a tree and shouting, "I love you!" in a cutesy voice. He ended up climbing down from the tree to interact with people up front. Most people just said it back or waved. 

One girl, however, took it upon herself to live into the worst damned situation I see happen to people of Asian descent in the U.S. As he strolled by she asked what his name was, to which replied "Tim". Afterwards, almost immediatley, she asked "So where do you come from?"...

*Palm to face*

Now, waiiiiiit a sec! Isn't it possible she just meant what town in Texas he was from, or part of the U.S.? Aren't I being just a *little too PC*? 

Nope. Since when the fuck do white people go around to other White people, or Black people, etc. asking "Where do you come from?"

Phrasing the question in the way that she did only perpetuates the idea of Asians as the "foreigner", "stranger", "outsider", somehow less authentically American than 'the rest'.
