Be Honest: When you see someone that looks "foreign", do you subconciously assume they don't speak English?

Because I'm Asian and I can remember like at least 10 instances where people in the US (Including Both White and Black people) would assume I don't speak English before I had a chance to talk. I've lived in this country since 8, I speak on a native level. I wonder if there is just a subconcious "perpetual foreigner" stereotype engrained into people.

Because I sometimes feel uncomfortable. Like it just feels very awkward after I get asked that, then I speak English perfectly lol.
