microaggression

It gets on my nerves when people ask me what kind of music I listen to and then have the follow-up question, "Do you listen to k-pop?" And when I answer that I do, they have this sort of satisfied look on their faces -- something along the lines of "I knew it", and "Of course she listens to k-pop, all Asians do". It's annoying because they assume that that's the only genre I listen to, when I also love R&B, ballads, and alternative music. So just because I look Asian, it doesn't mean I (only) listen to k-pop.
