People assume I can't speak Chinese because I'm a white American. They are correct.

    Invalid comparison. It would be more like you being born and raised in China and people defaulting to English all the time.

    It was a joke, not a real comparison. I just happen to not be able to speak any other language.

    The ‘it’s just a joke’ defence doesn't really work when the context it’s posted in changes its meaning entirely.
