1. Chinese has a completely different alphabet than English, which means the Chinese are not American, which makes them...foreign. Even if you're living in their country and they outnumber you six billion to one. They're still foreign.
2. China and Taiwan are totally the same place.
3. Yes, I have in fact read that Time/Forbes/Newsweek article that says the Chinese are going to take over the world one day. IT'S ALREADY HAPPENING. HIDE YOUR CHILDREN AND STOCK UP ON AMERICA. IT'S OUR ONLY HOPE.
4. There is only one reason why Chinese children are so good at math: they are little dormant robots awaiting the instructions of The Supreme Master Chairman Mao to destroy America. I'm brushing up on my Chinapocalypse vocabulary.
5. If you use your fingers to pull up your eyelids, you will not only succeed in blending in, you will have mastered how Taiwanese greet each other.
6. The only reason why an American girl would ever want to learn Chinese is to get a Chinese boyfriend.
7. All of the American expats in China and Taiwan know each other. It's not just a Facebook group; we're all totes besties in real life.
8. Tiger Moms eat their young. With chopsticks.
9. All Chinese people secretly want to be Americans. If they're staring at you, it's because they're trying to learn how to be Americans. It's not because you don't fit in or are screaming in English for a taco.
10. You can see Kim Jung-Il's house from The Great Wall.
