ROFL, hypocrites here, you can't deny that the Chinese mind is twisted to assume that any Asian must speak Chinese, while non-Asians can't master their "profound" and mysterious language. That is the very reason why even though a non-Asian can speak perfect standard Mandarin many people in China will refuse to acknowledge and thus understand them, "They can't possibly speak our language!". This and because most Chinese themselves can't speak proper Mandarin only some no name dialect from their hometown. This satirical strip is a good summary of what happens when the Asian person is not a local and thus can't speak Chinese, while the non-Asian has been around for long enough to speak it fluently: http://www.laowaicomics.com/post/59102789468
