Well lately I have been hearing "Hey do you know Kung fu etc?"
I've been dealing with it for about since I started school..
Up till now I never did anything about it or against the person.
The option to ignore it is kinda ruled out since I've been dealing with it for a long period of time now.
Dunno if its aloud but does anyone have any jokes I can use back at them or insults that can counter that question?
I prefer Friendly mean ones but anything would do.
You say "Yes." And then kick them in the face. 
I find that very offensive…and I would prefer not to resort to violence.
Understandable….
Unfortunatly, I find just a simple nod of the head and sarcastically saying "Uh-huh" to work wonders. See, I'm from Turkey (50% anyway). I'm completely white skinned, however, and am not religous at all. So I have to deal with the whole "Thanksgiving = Turkey" connection.
"Hey, Huh huh huh huh, I bet Turkish people like Turkey, Huh huh huh huh huh."
Good thing for me that's already a horrible insult, so the job's practically done for me.
In your case, you're proud of being Asian, correct? If you truly are proud of your Asian heritage, then a comeback should come naturally to you. Besides, are you actually insulted by that...? Because I'm fairly certain that's just a friendly rip.
Yeah I hear alot of that stuff at school.
Everyone asks an Asian kid if he can turn super sayian :l
Since I'm spanish, right away they think I'm Mexican. >_< Or they think I snuck under a fence to get into Canada, when I was born here. O.O
Im proud of being Asian,Though when they get into groups and ask me that question I dont know why but I have a hard time responding afterwards.Not much of a friendly rip either since most my friends know what ticks me off.
Though random people tend to make fun of me when they have the chance at Asian jokes.
Earlier today we played a game in P.E and some of my friends and me wore our team indicator thing like a headband and others said to me more Kung-fu jokes.
Even if I have friends who help me at times,I still need to learn how to handle it alone.
It's 2006 and people are still streotyping. You are lucky tho, you get the good sterotypes,. Anyways when someone attempts to make fun of me, I make a joke about their sexual preference (not in a mean way) or just find something about them that looks funny & go to work.
While I'm on the subject of jokes, somebody tell Wilmer that it's 2–6. People do not do "yo momma" jokes anymore. We've evolved past that.

l2agnarok would you happen to live in a small town ?

Wow… don't go to my High School.
Ask what heritage they're from. If German, result to "NAZI!". If native american, say something like:"How's the casino business?" Jewish…...drop a penny on a ground and say: "I know you want it." I'm not being racist, but they're jokes that I know. 
Believe me, I dealt with "NO DRIVE!" For like 3 years. I just laughed with them and they stopped, well for the 1st year in my school anyways. That or my anger scared the shit out of them.
i live in a big town and big school.
I get along with people great but alot of kids still tend to do anything to be funny.
EDIT:Those are pretty useful Mr.Prince.
As for the scared part only some kids know how strong I am but um width wide kids or taller kids still have confidence.
ah, you find jerks everywhere. even here. people who do not get a joke, or do not get when their jokes are not funny.
I'm from out west, in Saskatchewan, (canada) and I moved out east, to ontario (canada) I have a friend, who is always making nonsence comments to me that make no sence at all. Stuff about the ice flows of saskatchewan o_O, or how backwards we are…? I just try to egnore him, cause I know he's doing it to get a rise out of me.
I don't see how they are automaticly associating kung fu with asains though. That is not my first thought. what a lame comment. You could just play along, and say "ya I know karatie" and give a kick in the air." if your playing along with them, then it's not really teasing you anymore, they may get bored of it.
Actually, that reminds me in grade school; some people started calling me gremlin. That was my favorite movie as a kid though. (gremlins) So I adored it. They got bored of that name pretty fast....(and found some other way of bugging me)
lol i remember some dumbass asked me what CHING CHONG means…i was like...are u that stupid to believe that is actually a word? :wassat:
so i gave him a stupid answer then walked away...
Q: What does ching chong mean?
A: The chair looks nice. walks away while the dumbass stands there in confusion

Instead of trying to think of a way to "get back" at them, why not just tell them that's a lame stereotype and tell them not ask dumb questions like that?
Everyone's got stereotypes…I know every polish and italian joke (I'm part Italian and Polish). 
I say u make an example out of somebody that way they know not to try. If a group of people are making fun of you, pick on the weakest one and insult that one the most, then work your way up (that's what I did). Public humiliation does wonders to.
Highschool is brutal, if you don't respond you know how that goes. You just need to come up with one killer joke, and unleash it on an unsespcting victime when he's least expecting it. They'll be so stunned that they wont have a chance to react.
Why not have fun with it.
"Yes, but don't tell anyone. It will destroy my cover."
Or the light sarcasm route.
"Yes." pause "Did you see that?"
"See what."
"I just punched 5 times."
I like Mr. Prince's and Cosmic's idea. But be careful if you use Mr. Prince's advice. It can get you into a real fight.
Unfortunately, once you get branded, it's hard to shake that image off. All I can say is try and weather the storm and don't let your non-friends see that it bothers you.
Greg's suggestion sounds fun to do.
I personally hate the idea of stereotypes because I have a heavy Irish accent combined with a New York lisp and I have to actually fake an American accent most of the time for people to understand me. So a lot of the time I get asked the question if I can repeat what I just said. I get labeled a lot is what I am saying.
Anyways, onto my actually comment, I use to work with a mentally challenged person at my last job where I worked at a small town grocery store, his name was Jacob. People would constantly make fun of him and everything. I liked him because he was a good worker and was actually super smart; he just played the “dumb” game to not work a lot in school. One of the things that people would say to him is the, “Hey retard, how’s your brain today?” Which Jacob would reply with a funny, “Well I’m quite fine, but I would rather be a retard then a stupid redneck hick.”
In other words, don’t let it bother you. Jacob and my current co-workers had to teach me that. Just reply with a simple, “Well at least I have the ability to learn something.” Comment.
If you let people’s comments upset you then they will continue to do it.
Me and my buds call each other racist things, and say racist jokes all the time
i mean yes its one thing to be offended by it if its Truely a hateful or iggnorant comment
but what if they're joking?
if you're offended by jokes, well then just tell them to cut that shit out
Bring a gun to school, that'll solve everything.
Im just joking, don't listen to me.

Actually, lol, people got scared of me cause I made a fake HIT LIST. It was just the people I didn't like in my grade, not actually killing. Now they think I'm gonna snap any moment and bring a shotgun. They sometimes ask me who will you kill first.
Dude just use your kung fu on him
ALright thanks everyone,Ive gotten some ideas on how to counter these now,and no not the gun idea or threaten one.
Well lately I have been hearing "Hey do you know Kung fu etc?"
IGNORING ALL DISCUSSION AHD SO FAR:
Reply with a cool-sounfding "Yes" then go making Bruce Lee noises and swing your arms around like a chicken and act like aretarded monkey. Then kick them in the crotch and run away.
Almost everyone at my school is Mexican and all the ones i know hate what they call "White" people (Irony eh) and they have stereotypes for everything, But say something about their heritage and they go nuts and start talking about your mom in Spanish Sigh
But i know the feeling, I constantly get asked "hey do you like chicken and kool aid" Shit that annoys the hell out of me!!! Just because im black does not mean im a stereotypical ghetto dammit!
a good come-back to anything is this: NO insert name here I DONT WANT TO insert gross,sick, gay activity here!!!
ex) NO JOHN I DONT WANT TO GO TO THE PARTY IN YOUR PANTS BECAUSE IM NOT GAY!!!
Haha, yeah I know how that feels I2agnarok.
Are you Japanese? Because that's one of the worst.
I can't hear enough of:
"Ohmygad, you're part Japanese??? You and your evil country bombed us!!" (Pearl Harbor)
or, "Jeez, you evil asian. You gonna throw my baby on a bayonette, too?"
It's all fun and play, though. I usually kid back.
I don't usually get the kung-fu one though. (Even though I do Tai-Kwon-do. =p)
Maybe it's because I'm a girl.
But I find the most common one as: "You're really smart, right? Asians are supposed to be smart." -yawn-
You gotta love people.
This thread reminds me of these:
my korean roomate was getting his grad photos taken today. The photographer kept asking him to open his eyes wider. I thought that was kind of funny.
(not sure if that goes here or not)
Well of course its common manors to treat girls better.
Though you gotta love the Smart question they ask.
This thread reminds me of these:
pfft HAHAHAHHAHAHA! I actually laughed at myself.
@Twizum:

I'm sorry, but I would laugh at the person who uses that as a counter.
Well of course its common manors to treat girls better.

I don't get chivalry. Seems like its really the opposite of its intentions.
"So uh.. What are you anyways? You know, Chinese? Korean?"
"Nope, Vietnamese."
"Cool, can you say anything?"
"Yep."
"Say something."
"No."
"Why not?"
"It's wierd, you'd laugh anyways."
"No I won't, what's so embarrassing? Hola, see I used another language."
"You don't understand, it's just wierd."
Anyone else get this?
<– In no way Asian, by the way.
I have a Polish friend and two Korean friends who get that all the time. First off, everyone always constantly asks the two Korean girls: A. Questions about China, and B. to "say something in Chinese," and C. "Do you understand what I'm saying?"
The worst the Polish girl seems to ever get is "dumb Polish/blonde" jokes and "Say something in Polish!"
I get strange stereotypes because I have really light skin and exceptionally dark hair. It's not like I chose to be that way, but there have been some weird theories about how my hair and skin color end up like they do.
"So uh.. What are you anyways? You know, Chinese? Korean?"
"Nope, Vietnamese."
"Cool, can you say anything?"
"Yep."
"Say something."
"No."
"Why not?"
"It's wierd, you'd laugh anyways."
"No I won't, what's so embarrassing? Hola, see I used another language."
"You don't understand, it's just wierd."

I'm guessing the Vietnamese uses a gun as another language?
I'm Vietnamese also, and I just HATE it when they start asking where I'm from or what am I. They start interrogating you like your life is all special or something because you're asian.
"Are you Chinese?"
"No…"
"Are you Japanese?"
"No, I"m Vietnamese."
"Were you born there?"
"No..."
"Where were you born?"
"Here..."
Thank god, they go away once they realize I'm boring. But another one always comes. They always come...

Ah… I'm Vietnamese too, but only 50%, that way, no-one can tell at first glance anyways.
Huh. Never knew there were so many Vietnamese here on this forum, me counted into this bunch. Too bad I can't speak a damn word for some reason despite my apparent smartness.
I'll lend you my friend, an Indonesian. When you ask him about Kung Fu, he can go on and on, telling you from its theory to application. People around him quickly learned NEVER mention about Kung Fu any more XD
Next time you get harrassed by other students for being Asian, just be grateful you're not a gay high school student… The difficulties of which have been demonstrated pretty well in this thread and other places on this board...
My kung fu is strong!
Me and my group of friends act and talk like stereotypical chinese people and make fun of this tutor who was EXTREMELY chinese.
M&M's became EMEMS.
"So uh.. What are you anyways? You know, Chinese? Korean?"
"Nope, Vietnamese."
"Cool, can you say anything?"
"Yep."
"Say something."
"No."
"Why not?"
"It's wierd, you'd laugh anyways."
"No I won't, what's so embarrassing? Hola, see I used another language."
"You don't understand, it's just wierd."
Anyone else get this?
Haha, I do, I do…
Though I got so tired of it, now I usually just say "Something" litarally in Japanese.
My plato teacher is asian and the students always make fun of him. Yes even to try to provoke him to show us his moves.
I like the way science talks about races. Did you know there is only 3 races. All the other ones are just mixes of them. Now i will say there scientific names but in lamens terms they are : White(Caucasoid), Black(Negroid) and Asian(Mongoloid). Im mexican so according to science im half White and half Asian weird huh?
You should start learning karate, that will teach them.
Racist jokes are so funny… but that's probably because people are so diverse where I live that nobody cares.
I'm Chinese (I do know some kung fu, XDD)... I would be in a car with some friends and we see someone non-Asian who can't park. "Aahahaha, this Asian driver is better than you!!" All in good fun.
That good fun does hurt some people out there.
And it's only funny because you have racist views in you. Denying that fact is retarded, because I'd be willing to bet close to 100% of the people in this world are racist.
Even small things. When you first meet someone, and he's black, the first thing that flickers through your head is that he is indeed black. You never see him as a person first.
Lol, I get this too, but usually, they defend me in a way by saying:
"Watch out man, he'll go karate on you ass if you mess with him." Oh, and I'm like one if not the most quiet person, so if I give them this look their like, "He's about to do an Asian Ass-whooping".
But I do got that "Do you know kung-fu?", just say, "Yea I do, and if you ask a again, I'll kick your ass". Lol, the guy now avoids me at all costs.
