Yes, at which point I switch from telepathy to sign language.

Oh really? Still, telepathic stimulation sounds way more intriguing.

Well, there's a reason that famous saying about the word "assume" was invented.

Yes, that can become quite annoying. Rarely does anyone think I am Vietnamese just by looking at me. I mostly get Hawaiian or Mexican, so I constantly have Mexican guys hitting on me in Spanish. Or even worse white American guys hittin' on me in Spanish. I hate it when people don't stop to think 'Hey, I might be wrong.' before they just blurt something out.

Yeah, but I think it's fairly reasonable to conclude when someone boasts about being a certain nationality that their ties to that nation are stronger than "I have a Spanish grandfather". That really doesn't make you Spanish. :\

Again, it means you are of Spanish ancestry. I never assumed for a second that Big3 was saying he was 100% Spanish. I understand that when someone who isn't from Spain says they're Spanish it generally means they are part Spanish.

Um, no, being Spanish and being of Spanish ancestry are two separate notions implying very different things.
