To be fair, the first one is a legitimate question.

Korean: The immediate assumption that I'm a Koreaboo.
- You must love kpop then?
- Why not Chinese?
I just love how the language sounds, that's why I'm learning it. I love how depending on the speech level you're using, it can sound completely different.
Russian:
- Are you Russian?
- Do you like Putin? (wtf)
It's easy and sounds badass.
Spanish: Absolutely no questions asked lol. Until I say I'm not actively studying it anymore. Then they tell me I should start up again because it's so useful.

"You must be just learning it to watch anime"
"What anime do you like?"
"You must be a weaboo"
"*talks to me about anime*"
"You just want to get a japanese girlfriend"
I don't even really watch anime! And as a gay man, I'm at least 75% sure I don't want an asian girlfriend
