Pretending to be Japanese?
Question
So I've worked part time in a sushi restaurant for several months.
When I started they gave me a Japanese name and told me to tell customers I'm Japanese if they ask even though I'm Chinese.
Is this common? I feel bad about it but haven't been called out yet.
This is in the UK and the owners are Korean but one of the chefs is Japanese.
