I was on the phone with my aunt earlier today. She was speaking in her native tongue when I interrupted her a few times to say "What?" She then berated me for knowing so little of my native language. I suppose I have a bit of guilt for being so "white-washed" and not being fluent in my ethnic language, despite going to Saturday school as a kid to learn the language and taking four semesters of it in college.
I suppose this is the cliched plight of the Asian American: being "too white."

Yes, I sometimes do forget that I'm Asian. I think this is common among Asians (and perhaps other minorities?).
Wait a minute - I'm NOT white?!?!
