A video posted by Canadian chess player and online personality Nemo Zhou has left social media users in stitches after a stranger appeared baffled by her ethnicity — even after she told him she was Chinese.
The awkward street encounter, shared on Instagram in May, quickly gained attention as the passerby repeatedly tried to guess Zhou's background before mistakenly telling her she 'look[ed] Asian', prompting the content creator to point out that China is, in fact, part of Asia.
