She forgot to label him and say "Oh! An Englishman! I knew it! I was guessing either German or English, but I was really leaning towards English."

[lecyvee]

"Oh I'm just American.." Really, you're Native American?" "No, just regular American." LOL omg best part. Great video!

[kenllacer]

I lost it when he said 'Just a regular American.'

[SayedI]

Still funny, 10 years later. And yes, still true

[ferrariporsche]

San Diego we speak English there😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

It's the subtle things in this that make it the more awesome. Like how she amalgamates in Irish stereotypes (Guinness, Top o' the mornin' to ye) with English stereotypes... the same way people like that guy mix Chinese, Japanese, Korean etc. stereotypes together as if those nations were the same thing.

"I think your peoples fish n chips is amazing" XD

Seen this 10 years ago and it NEVER gets old!

[korean]

Have any of you guys catched the part where she said her "great-grand mother" were from korea and the man's "grand parent" were from the uk? That means she's technically more american than him lol
What a greatly directed video!

[chokoprty]

You know, if you ever want to respect an Asian American, never ask them where they are really from. Just ask them what is their ethnicity if that's what you mean.

[brendad.c]

Lol.. as an Asian..I approve this coz we get this alot here .

[mkpsiwolf]

I get the "Where are you from?" question all the time. This leads to my answer "Korea." Which is then followed by "North or South?" /facepalm

[StrangerAsian]

I can't stress enough how relatable this is

[pastorfriesen]

This kind of comedy needs a comeback in 2021. Well done!

" I was born in Orange County, but never actually lived there". Guy: " I mean before that?". Girl" " before I was born?" Lmao😂

[jujudizzle]

I'd just like to point out that I watched this actress (Stella Choe) give such an incredible and moving performance in the latest Korean film "Ode to My Father" (the film is sooo good, I highly recommend it). Stella, you brought me to tears in that film and this hilarious video shows just how talented you are in any role. Bravo, Stella!! xx

I had a roommate who was born in New Zealand, but who grew up in Hong Kong. They'd moved to Hong Kong from Scotland, but their ancestors were from the Philippines, so they still looked Asian, despite really being more Scottish than anything else. He also had a strong, very proper British accent from his Hong Kong boarding school teachers.

He had a lot of fun with people like the guy in this video, who just couldn't figure out how to classify an ethnically Filipino Scotsman who was born in New Zealand, grew up in Hong Kong, had a British accent, but was currently living in Australia.

"Uh, just Regular American",  it's so arrogant that it's  funny.

[lacefreak]

I am Chinese born in the USA with no accent. I shared an office with a Caucasian female whose married last name was Wong. People constantly came in looking for Mrs. Wong and would assume it must be me and freak out when I would point to my coworker and explain in flawless English that they were mistaken. Cracked us up all the time.

My mother is Korean and my father is American.  I was born in 1962 and lived most of my life being asked questions like this.   It was tough growing up in the US.  My experiences turned me into a hyper-aggressive adult.  In some ways that was a good thing, but in most ways it has been detrimental. 

I do not fit in anywhere, not here in the US and not in Korea.  That's my life.
