The political correctness of a five-year old

In fairness, she could be anywhere between four and six, but this made me smile: as we were mucking about with some flashcards, my student (her name's Tomo, for those who care about these details) suddenly froze, scrutinising me intensely.

Her words were as follows:
Uwa.
Hana taka.
Nani jin?
Chugoku jin?
Wow.
Your nose is large.
Where are you from?
China?

Can't fault the logic. What slays me is that she's the brainy one in the class.
