![]() My boyfriend and his parents proceeded to laugh because they thought I had always known. I pretty much screamed you guys are Vietnamese. Then I was completely shocked when I saw my bf parents and bf fully conversing in Vietnamese with his Aunt. His Aunt is not Americanized like his parents and I quickly notice a Vietnamese-English accent. My fuck up came to light when I happen to be at their house when his Aunt visits. Pretty much I'm assuming they're Chinese. No accent in their English, their house looks more like a Asian-American house, and they only speak English with each other. ![]() His parents came when they were 10 and became super Americanized. I've met his parents and been to his family house. My first fuck up was assuming that he was simply just copying off me and nailed the pronunciation I'm Vietnamese. Sometimes he'd order in "Vietnamese" but just the number. When we would go to Vietnamese restaurants he'd generally order in English. Me and him are Asian-American so we lost a lot of the nuances where the minor differences between Vietnamese and Chinese would show. This is the beginning of the mistaken assumption I made. Ho is used in both Vietnamese and Chinese. This TIFU really came to be because neither of us put that much importance to our ethnic background. ![]() No our relationship didn't change and its a funny moment. I think this needs to be clarified before going into how this came to be.
