Is it the eyes? Is it the hair? Is it the brownish skin tone? I’ve been called ‘Chinese’ before, but was never mistaken for Korean – until now.
Look, I appreciate when bloggers extend to other bloggers well-deserved kudos. But, please make sure you read beyond just one post before making assumptions that will come back to bite you in the ass.
Unless life is playing a huge freakin’ joke on me, according to several official sources my Vietnamese mother gave birth to me in Việt Nam in the district of Gia Ðịnh near Sài Gòn. Plus, someone, I don’t know who exactly, gave me the Vietnamese name Nguyên Ðúc Mînh. Thus, all signs pretty much point to the Indochinese peninsula rather than the Korean peninsula.
With that said, I will graciously accept anyone’s (past and future) admiration for my writing and will extend to them my well wishes for their own blogging endeavors.
Just don’t call me Shirley.

Kevin,
Mea Culpa. My bad.
I would like to say though, that I have read your WHOLE blog, and not just one post.
I really hate that I made this mistake, given that I am usually a stickler for accuracy and detail.
I know we’re not BFF, but can we still be friends?

No hard feelings, Tina.
