"I hope you can one day understand why calling a young Asian "Jackie Chan" is not acceptable."
Go and tell me to jump if you want, but it's only an insult if you let it be. Accept it as a compliment, even if they don't mean it as such. Thank them for complimenting you on your martial-arts skills, even if you don't have any. Bullies only win if you let them get to you.
I've been called "gay" more times than I can remember. Half the time, I annoy the hell out of them by pretending that I think they mean the other definion of gay. The other half the time, I don't say anything, and let them think I am. I was getting loads of enjoyment out of Jeff thinking that I fancied Tim. Until Tim ruined it. The spoilsport. So I made him sleep on the couch.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

You mean you don't fancy me? Well, I see how it is. I knew the fire would go out of our relationship eventually...

Psyliam: I'm not telling you how to react to such statements. I'm just saying that you shouldn't believe that calling Asians "Jackie Chan" is ok.

Unless, of course, their name is actually Jackie Chan

Masao: Don't worry, I wouldn't. I'm not that daft. I do have an Indian friend called Amit though that I call "Geofrey", because I have deceided that he is the worlds biggest Rainbow fan.
Actually, there's a Chinese lad at uni that we've called "Bruce Lee" before, but that's only because when we call him that, he goes into a hilarious mock martial-arts film style fight thingie.
