What's the most frustratingly ignorant thing someone asked you or said about your religion/culture/group/etc.?
In my case, in relation to religion, a Catholic girl came up to me and asked:

"Jewish people don't believe in God, right?"

After explaining to her that Jewish people began the entire 'God-fearing-people' trend, she remarked:

"Oh, so you believe in Jesus?"

I responded by threatening to stab her in the jaw.
Any similar stories?

Edit:
Also, if you didn't get the title, you may qualify to be ignorant yourself. Jewish = religion. Hebrew = language. Come on, now.

Someone: "Hey Tina, you're Chinese, right?"
Me: "No, I'm Chinese and Vietnamese."
Someone: "Yeah, so you're just Chinese. DUH."
Me: "No. Idiot. *smack*"

Okay, I didn't smack the person but that was only because we were on the phone. ermm.gif

OHH.

"If I rub Buddha, I will be filthy rich, right? What if I rub him in naughty places? Will I get more filthy rich?"
