Perhaps this was a computer generated assuption.

Credit cards don't usually list someone's ethnicity, and even if it showed he were ethnically Chinese, that would be no guarantee that he can read Chinese. Anyway, I used my credit card, and though my last name is Chinese my first name is very gringo and wouldn't cause one to assume I was Chinese. I'm guessing it was just an honest mistake and a coincidence.
I know I can get all of the books for free from Gutenberg or similar, I'm more bummed about not getting the card. The card with the Chinese books on it is 256 MB but the card for the English books is 1 GB. I know to buy a 1 gig card is not expensive, but it's not free either. It's no big deal, just more work for me.
