Well, when you're insulted all your life for just being somewhere and looking a certain way, you kinda get tired of giving random people the benefit of doubt.
I'm quite often asked if I'm Chinese or Japanese. Not offensive in itself, but years of schoolboy taunting about Chinese/Japanese/dirty knees, means that if I'm asked that in a dinner party, I'm liable to walk away rather than punch someone in the face, which is what I want to do.
