chinese or malay?

yesterday i went to mp during my break time to have lunch with the bf. while i was walking and whining about how exhausted i was that day, a nigga suddenly "menyendel2" at me but there was no physical contact so i ignored him. i was headed to the entrance when he asked, "R U chinese or malay?". i was dumb struck. but i managed to say, "M..m..malay" then he smiled and went separate way. i told my bf about it and he said, "it must be your ass". damn.
