And in Malaysia, which is 24% Chinese, I can verify that from experience.

This person is adding to the stereotype that all Asians are the same.

I brought my wife here on vacation a few times on her B-visa and when we spoke Mandarin to each other on the street, she got very upset when someone told us that "Japanese is a very pretty language."

I had to tell her, in Mandarin, that ignorance is everywhere.
