They All Look Alike

In translation class with an elderly Egyptian professor.

Professor: Is everyone here American?
Asian Student: No, I am not.
Professor: Are you from Japan? I can never tell between people from Japan and China and those countries, they all look the same to me . . .
Asian Student: *shock*
Professor: Where are you from?
Asian Student: Korea
Professor: (looking at other students) Can you tell the difference?

OMFG. Cultural sensitivity training.
