de Gaulle said the problem with China was that it was a big country full of Chinese people
Imo when people insult China, It's not the totality of Chinese association history and contribution which is full of good - It's predominantly the image of Chinese people under communism as being selfish, rude, dirty, money hungry, deceitful etc. Which is almost all bad and that is the insult.

Why I take offense to being called Chinese is because they are associating me with those negatives.

That's their history, not mine.

Asians can't tell Asians apart based on physical features.

https://kotaku.com/5983892/asians-taking-a-test-to-tell-asians-apart

While somebody might have Nuance understanding of cultural differences that allow them to take a contextual look at that person, other people do not.

Its a point of stupid egotistical Pride for one East Asian person to chastise a non east asian person for their inability to identify their ethnicity based on physicality... Again, since East Asians can't do it any better than anybody else in the world.

"You think we all look the same!!" To everybody except the supercomputer...yeah sort of.

Turns out Asians have a difficult time noticing significant differences in various white people. Again, this is very similar to asking some Asian is somebody had a German look.
I'm not blaming her for thinking I'm Chinese, It's understandable. However I'm still upset to be called Chinese.

There are good steretypes as well. Longest continual culture and empire in the world. Tightly knit families. Politeness etc. You're just being haycist.
Yes there is but that old lady was certainly not hinting good stereotypes. She was hinting 70ies+ era China stereotypes.

Nobody wants to talk about China but you. And when you do it gets you in trouble.

It's kind of like the dear leader being told not to mention nukes yet it's all he wants to ever talk about.

Smack yourself in the face and snap out of it.
I'm just giving you the Frank realities of the kind of racism Asian people face.

The statement I'm whining about is by calling someone Chinese, they're associating you with all bad aspects of China and there are a ton.
However Chinese people do have alot of unsavory character points and That's probably contributing to her ill thoughts.
They're probably just like the Chinese only even more poor.

Note -- I also get offended when people ask me if I am from North Korea.

Where Chinese deserve criticisms that mostly they like Mao. Even though he masscred millions of people and turned their culture into a self centered and greedy survivalist environment that is not supposed to care about others. The middle class like Mao and they credit him for the success of China and see the bad stuff he did as just a casualty of success and not anything that could be avoided.

Actually they really don’t like Mao. He was denounced after his death and the opening up policy was brought in. The Party still officially respects him, but if you talk to the average Joe and even party members, many will openly admit they don’t like him. Live in China for over a decade and you’ll find that out quite quickly.

Means nothing. Get to know a person on a somewhat intimate level and the truth comes out. I met several government officials in social settings and the majority joined the Party for its career advantages, not because of the Party’s ideology. Besides, it’s not even communism. The last 40 years it’s turned into more of a free market system than Canada or even the US in many ways.

Same old Banchan lol.

This means absolutely nothing. Your anecdotal experience doesn't explain over 80 percent of Chinese viewing Mao favorably. You're the same old small minded person who refuses to consider facts.

Same old Banchan. You’re right about everything. So sorry. Of course you’ve never been to China, so all your rants about Chinese are just blowing hot hair. Of course you’re Korean though, so you’ll take any chance you can get to slight them.

Get over your hate. Or better yet....
