An anecdote in line with what Brosemite said:
Yesterday at a gym here in Gdansk, a friendly Polish guy tried to guess my ethnicity (it's hard, many have failed). When I finally told him, he was happy to hear that I wasn't American, even though I technically am. It seems he didn't like the meddling and war-mongering that the US does well outside its borders.
So another point for being Asian instead of American when outside the US, it seems.
