  • - Hi, my name is Jenny Yang and I'm Asian.

  • You know, about two out of three human beings

  • on this planet.

  • Let's get started.

  • (Buzzfeed Presents Ask an Asian with Jenny Yang)

  • Oh don't you dare put a gong in there.

  • (We asked fans to send us questions

  • (they'd like to ask an Asian-American)

  • (We received almost 7,000 submissions)

  • (Here are eleven of them)

  • Are people always asking, "Are you good at math?"

  • Not always, two-thirds of the time.

  • Like, 45 percent, or like one out of three people.

  • Actually, I'm not that good at math.

  • What's up with Asians wearing doctor's masks?

  • Because you're all dirty, dirty people.

  • Why do Asians mainly stick to themselves?

  • It seems like the enclaves you guys make are

  • impenetrable socially.

  • Everyone has enclaves; white people have enclaves, too.

  • Wall Street, the entertainment industry, Utah.

  • They're not impenetrable, just harder.

  • Are all Asian houses Feng Shui?

  • No, not all Asians use Feng Shui.

  • I have a lot of Asian friends whose apartments are so messy,

  • it looks like an episode of "Hoarders."

  • Do people make Kung Fu noises and

  • make a chop hand motion at you?

  • Only on Tuesdays at kickboxing...

  • I have a Groupon.

  • How do you tell other Asians apart?

  • I don't know, let's bring in another Asian.

  • Hi, Korean.

  • - I am Korean.

  • Hi, Chinese.

  • - Hello.

  • - So, Eugene, how would you tell other Asians apart?

  • - You can often tell from their last name.

  • For example, mine is Yang.

  • - And mine is Yang.

  • Do you get offended when someone

  • of the same race as you makes a racist joke?

  • Everyone should be offended by racist jokes,

  • because, you know, racism.

  • Do you ever get sick of hearing the same Asian stereotypes?

  • Yes, you know what, I do.

  • Why are Asian drivers so bad?

  • First of all, have you seen how Asians drive in Asia?

  • It's lawless, they don't give a (beep).

  • And number two, Americans, we don't drive that well either.

  • Have you been to Boston?

  • How do you keep from punching idiots in the face

  • when they ask stupid, offensive, stereotypical questions?

  • Sadly, most of the people who asked questions for this video

  • did it online and I couldn't reach their faces.

  • Honestly, I think y'all need to get out more.

  • Like, meet some Asians.

  • We're out there.
