Are You Irish?

Normally, this question is directed at me; I have fair facial skin, dark hair, and freckles. But today! We were on the subway, and the nicest man struck up a conversation with Michael--the first time he had had opportunity to use his English in 10 months. They talked about all kinds of things, and then he asked of Michael, "You look a bit different...are you Irish?"

No...definitely not Irish, especially since Michael's family comes from China.
