Advice needed

thenemeanlion — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 03:18:10 +0800

I have a friend that i have known for around 6 years. He's not my best friend but one of my good friends. The issue is he thinks that I'm english educated all this while and calls me a banana since i've known him(which I didn't realize at first). I've known him since F4 but we only gotten close when we started college.

As we are good friends with another indian guy, we often speak english when we hung out, so mandarin and other dialects were out of the picture. His English is not really great, and imo the reason he thought i was a banana in the first place was because I spoke OK English. He also has a certain degree of superiority complex where he instantly think that people who speaks good english must be english educated (or maybe thats what I think).

The funny part is when we went travelling or hung out with his other friends, he always introduce me as the 'banana' and as to not 'hurt' him, I've always acted like one, pretending to not kno how to read Chinese menus, and hell even speaking Mandarin or Cantonese like a Mat Saleh !

For the record, I've never told him I WASN'T chinese educated and it was all his assumption in the first place. The problem was that I only realized it in like the 4th year of our friendship as we mamaked almost everyday and to be honest, its not even an issue that i think about back then. But, as time goes by, I really feel bad about this and the possibility of it affecting our friendship.

Question :
1.Should I tell him and what would be the best way without any pain involved ?

2.Anyone with this kind of funky friendship experience ?
