Hi, recently one American asked me like”Do you know where Tokyo is?” and I answered like “Yes, of course”. Then the man said “It’s a joke”. I think he asked me this because I am Japanese but I could not understand this joke at all. Can someone could explain this please?

Question

Answer

I don't get it either. Nothing in the question is inherently funny. It's possible he thought it would be funny because you are Japanese. This is stupid. Or maybe there was some context in your conversation which made it funny.

Answer

If you try understand stupid, you'll become stupid too.

Answer

he just has a bad sense of humor lol 😂

Answer

I think it is a abuse sentences.

Answer

Either they're ignorant,  or he could've been asking a question you both knew the answer to and that's his way of being funny
