Chinese or Korean?

So, I was getting take-out from my favorite ghetto Chinese place (2 layers of bullet proof glass and a display of shotgun shells at the counter), and while I'm sitting on the duct-tape covered chairs waiting for my order to come up, the owner and his wife keep looking at me and talking excitedly between themselves in Chinese.

When I go to pick up my food, the owner asks me "Are you Chinese or Korean?"

"Huh?"

We have this exchange about 3 times until I go "Uh- Chinese?"

The owner relays this information to his wife (who doesn't speak English) and then says to me, all excited, "We knew it! we could tell you weren't Japanese, but we didn't know if you were Chinese or Korean!"

Anyway, between this and the guy at the YMCA mistakening me for a 15 year old, I have decided that will now be marketing myself as a Hot Nude Asian Teen.
