    A lot of that is down to colonial meddling, though obviously not all of it.

    Asian countries get in on this kind of thing, too. Try being Asian-but-not-Chinese in China or even Singapore.

      Or being Korean in Japan… The funny thing is that anthropologists believe that the (non-indigeonous) Japanese actually descended from Koreans.

      You can even just be an asian born elsewhere but that ethnicity and get shit talked by those native from said country. Doesn’t even have to be between ethnicities.
