Nae and The Hat

Bought a crocheted hat (because I can't do one yet). And with no hair around my face, I look extremely ethnic. Amazing how sometimes we forget how we look until something reminds us. Here is how the conversation would go between either myself and Em or my sister.

"I look Asian."
"You are Asian."
"Yeah, but I look more Asian today."
"Because you are Asian."

Why am I surprised at times to find that I'm Asian?
