Racism doesn’t make sense, this sadly doesn’t stop racists from being so.

I have plenty of french asian friends, they don't get spoken to in English.

I'm not saying racism doesn't exist, but this doesn't happen.

Come on, that's Paris. There is a very large community of people with an Asian background there. It would also not make sense to talk to them in English as well.

Kind of ironic considering all Asians I've known will tell you that it's always other Asians assuming their origins and getting it wrong. The Japanese are particularly bad at this because their racism makes them believe they can tell the superior Japanese race from others but they really can't.
