Mugged in China Inception Meme

This is a 3-panel meme using footage from the 2010 film Inception. In the first panel, Leonardo DiCaprio's character Dom Cobb says 'I WENT TO CHINA AND I WAS MUGGED.' In the second panel, Cillian Murphy's character Robert Fischer replies asking 'WHAT DID THEY LOOK LIKE?' The third panel shows Cobb staring blankly at Fischer with no dialogue. The implied punchline relies on the harmful, widespread racist stereotype that all East Asian/Chinese people are visually indistinguishable from one another, meaning Cobb cannot describe his attackers.
