So yeah... I've had some of the closest people in my life tell me that I must have some Asian ancestry. First thing Maria does when this topic of conversation comes up is go to my wallet and gets out a picture of my grandmother (who is NOT asian) and says "she how Asian she looks".
Then this "Asian Issue" I have (don't get me wrong.. I love the Asians) came to the forefront during a roadtrip to see the David Crowder Band in Virginia a few years back. It was held at a Korean Church in a rather affluent suburb of Washington D.C. So we get close and pull into the parking lot, and there are dozens of church members wearing these reflective vests (and looking very Asian might I add). I see them waving at the cars in front of ours... then when we drive by the first guy he BOWS when we drive by. I think it's just an isolated incident... I look in my rear view mirror and the same guy who just BOWED to me is now waving at the non-Asian family in the car behind us.
So now we get to the next guy, and he's doing the same thing.. reflective vest, waving at the various families around.. then this guy really BOWS at our car. Maria and I break into hysterical laughter now... "they think I'm Asian? This is awesome!"
I made the mistake of telling my co-workers about this... from that day on they now BOW when they see me pull into the parking lot.

Oh my goodness, I believe Justin and I were at the same show!! If you think that's embarrassing, when we were driving to the show there was the .75 toll and Justin and I didn't have .75!! We had the guy write up an IOU type deal, talk about lame!
PS: I'm Asian and I unfortunately don't see the Asian resemblance you claim. sorry.
Tonight I was trying to convince the above poster to allow you to borrow her ethnicity for a day or so and see how it really feels...she was indifferent to the idea and could not stop playing burnout: takedown in order to truly comment.
