So...I guess it always differs depending where you are and who you are with (if you're with a large group of asians, or if you're only one in a crowd of white people)...but, here in the US, is there a general perception of Asians?

I know some people can be a bit more ignorant than others, and I'd like to think that most people aren't. Its just that sometimes, I get a bit surprised when people who I don't know misjudge me and ask where I come from (as in, I'm like a tourist...) or have certain expectations about me...?

Hahah, I live in the Bay Area, and there's tons of Asians, so I don't really notice anything.

But I went to a school in Oregon for a year, and about 95% of the school was white, and they assumed I was from China and started speaking in slow, broken English, assuming this would make me able to understand.

It really depends on what area you're in.
