    A derivation of this I’ve experienced is being Asian. I had two half Chinese half English friends and I’m fully Chinese (roughly) and we went to Chinese restaurant in London and they were going on about how much more Chinese they were than me. I think it was because I didn’t speak Mandarin (they seem to forget Cantonese is a thing but whatever…) anyways they go on about it and when the waiter came he brought me chopsticks and he brought the other two knives and forks and there was just silence … I didn’t say a word I just cracked up and left it at that.
