“Why are you black?” If you’re a black person visiting China, you may get asked this question. This fascinating video by TMD Shanghai shares the experience of being a black visitor to China, which historically has had few black residents.
For African American visitors, it gets even stranger. The narrator explains that many Chinese believe that all black people are from Africa, so African Americans are not native English speakers.

I don't understand the misconception behind the chocolate question. How do Chinese people know when to stop eating chocolate? I would assume the same way the rest of us do -when the chocolate is all gone!
