Tho this is not the first time for me to be mistaken as a Korean, I have never had anyone who was so SHE MUST BE KOREAN to me in a very multi-cultural environment. So the scenario was as follows --
Me helping two customers at the check-out line. One was a returning customer who knew me and the other was ... some guy. They were both Chinese, and spoke a dialect that sounded very similar to 四川話, but sounded a little different to me (tho it could be 四川話 after all, since the only 四川話 I ever hear is from 婆婆).
Man (when he first saw me): GASP, a KOREAN girl! (as if he has never seen a Korean girl in person before)
Lady: No she's Taiwanese. (and proceded to ask me a whole bunch of questions, in Mandarin, about our winter merchandise. I answer them)
Man: But she speaks MANDARIN!
Lady: She's from Taiwan -- what else is she supposed to speak?
Man: * Grumbles and Mumbles*
Lady: She's TAIWANESE!
Me: LOL
