But I am not "that brown bird with the Ducati"
I am That "Asian bird with the ducati"

dont really want to get too involved, but surely being called asian is a bit of a generalisation?

i would nt be too happy about being referred to as 'european'. also surely if you're describing someone its quite ok to describe them by their colour only? without going into thier background/culture/religion etc.

would bother me is someone is trying to desribe when when i'm part of a mixed 'colour' group and they say something like 'no not that one the white one' for instance.
