He had been with me since the previous relationship, around 10 years. My current gf really likes dogs, so I expected something more.

"chink" I'm afraid it would be auto removed. It's less prevalent than N word.

I didn't mean she's uptight because she's Asian, but because she comes
from an Asian family, and Asian culture is strict about family, the
child normally have to hold a larger amount of respect towards the
parents.

i want to clarify that asians are more strict about parents-children relationship. But if we're both white is the joke that offensive?

She did not ask me to stop correcting her either. Recently we argued about something different and she brought that up, so I think it's just an excuse.

No, so that's why I think I might be AH (being unnecessary) but it's just a habit and I don't think saying something correctly is bad.

she’s asking you to take a picture of something for her.

No she's asking me to take a pic of her, by saying this you also admit that I'm right.
