Where? MAG
Where are you from, young man?
I’m from Dayton, Ohio.
No, I mean where are you really from?
America.
I must not be making myself clear.
Were you born here?
Yes, I was.
Never mind.
Hey, you! You’re Chinese?
Yes, I am.
I thought so, I could tell by your eyes.
My eyes are fine, they’re just like yours.
No, they’re squinty, that’s how I could tell.
I’m not squinting.
Look at me, stupid Chinese kid.
Ching-ching-chang-chong-chung.
What are you saying?
Doesn’t that mean something in Chinese?
No, it doesn’t.
Whatever, hey, teach me some Chinese curse words.
No. It’s a beautiful language, I won’t befoul it.
What a loser. Typical Asian.
Let’s try again.
Okay.
I hope we have no problems this time.
Sure.
It’s only one question.
Go ahead.
Where are you from?
America.
