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.

Every time my spanish teacher sees me look at an asian girl she doesn't know, she asks me if the girl's my girlfriend. She's seen my girlfriend before, but is convinced that all asians look alike. Worst of all, she's completely serious in asking me, and can't recognize my girlfriend's face.
