An Asian woman on a plane sees her Asian seat-mate reading a book on Asian Stereotypes. A little offended, yet equally curious, she asks her seat-mate "What does the book say?" Her seat mate says: "According to this book, Filipino women are beautiful, Japanese women are smart, and Vietnamese women are faithful". Taken aback by the slightly chauvinistic and stereotypical nature of the book's assertions, the woman asks: "Are these based on facts?" Her seatmate says: "Not exactly, but these haven't been disproved either." He then turns to the woman and asks, "What's your name, by any chance?" The woman thinks for a bit, and says "Maria Nguyen-Suzuki"
