Friend: You are Malay?
tadpole: No…
Friend: No?! You are not Malay? (His expression at this point was hilarious. He was SO surprised to discover this…)
tadpole: No, I am not Malay. Why?
Friend: But you look like you are Malay.
tadpole: I am not. I am Malaysian Chinese.
Friend: Chinese? Really? Your parents are Chinese? But you don’t look like Chinese.
tadpole: My parents are both Chinese. And so I am Chinese. Really.
Friend: Original Chinese? (He was asking this with his eyes wide open…)
tadpole: Yes! Very original.
And the conversation went on and on with him asking me about my family history.
So yeh. I am Malaysian Chinese. Definitely not Malay. Or Japanese.
