Do you ever get your ETHNICITY mistaken...?

[Guest eminemjamesuk]

I'm Chinese but I get mistaken for a Korean ALL THE TIME! In Beijing I get mistaken, In Washington D.C. I get mistaken, In London I get mistaken... Frankly it's been pissing me off!

[Guest thaigerl]

In London, people think I'm American although it's not an ethnicity. But there are always people who are a little curious/suspicious of where I'm from but some wait for me to tell them first.

[Guest Tetra]

Some chinese immigrants think I'm white cause I got a 94 for math >_<

[Guest Iridescence]

I'm filipino. They asked if I was Chinese. I replied with a no. Then they asked if I was Mexican. I then again replied with a no.
