Really? D: They probably make the mistake because of asia and stuff. D: Most people can't tell the difference between them.
I kinda understand that tbh. Its like when someone mistakes a Chinese person for Japanese or vice versa. Hell, I knew a Korean girl who everyone thought was Chinese for ages. Some even walk up to people and start speaking to them in x language, I'd find it a little insulting.
I know! >U I went to a con, and this person comes up, saying: "OMFG, ARE YOU JAPANESE?! LIKE I THINK JAPANESE WOMEN ARE FIIIINEEEEEEE. OMFG I ALWAYS HATED CHINESE (wtf?) GIRLS! THEY'RE SO BOSSY AND ANNOO-*grunts*"
