Do you ever get your ETHNICITY mistaken...?

[Guest Special Ed]

I'm Hmong but I have a pale complexion (similar to a caucasian's), wide eyes, and a non-flat nose. If I have black hair, I could be something like Daniel Henney. lol. But if I dye my hair brown I look more asian for some reason.

But I'm always mistaken for either a caucasian, korean, japanese, or chinese due to my pale complexion.

I had "friends" who went a whole school year thinking I was caucasian. At the Hmong New Year this lady asked my cousins if I was their caucasian friend in Hmong clothes. Hmong kids never talked to me because I look mixed. And if Hmong kids talked to me, they never talked to me in Hmong, but english until I reveal my ethnicity. Weeaboos would get strangely happy when meeting me for the first time. People would believe any story I tell them about me being mixed or japanese or whatever.

[Guest proFRESHional.]

oh yess. im chinese mixed with vietnamese.. but i've been mistaken for Mexican, Laos, Mien and even Black cause of my skin color and the way i talk. lmao

[Guest Puurin]

People ask me if I'm Japanese but I'm Chinese... probably because of how I do make-up.

When I was studying in London people thought that I was from Iran.

That's just plain stupid, 'cos everyone can see I'm Korean -____-

Then I started to talk in Italian and they were like: WOW WHERE ARE YOU COME FROM?!

"I'm Korean." I said ^^

[Guest Halko]

[xChristineee]

Omg, all the time!

I'm Vietnamese, and I get mistaken for Chinese or Korean ALL the time.

But I personally think I look Vietnamese

In 7th grade, this korean lunch lady asked me what my race was, and I told her I was Vietnamese.

She ended up telling me I was too pretty to be Vietnamese.

So I was like ....

[Seoshi.love.]

I'm Chinese but people sometimes think that I'm Korean ~ they say it's my aura ^^"

[Guest angelaness]

ugh ppl in my schoo are mad racist.

they think im chinese when im not. im korean.

and they lik oh its a CHINESE girl w/ sooo much stress on chinese. theress lik what 4 asains in my WHOLE school. soo thats probably why.

[baoi]

i dont really care what they say.. i mean, i think it means that they are interested in what you are, so they want to know.

besides, they usually never get it correct. I always get something like Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai, etc.

which to me, are like compliments.... because Asian girls are beautiful (list not limited to that one)

anywho... i use to hate it, but i dont mind no more.. if they want to know, i'll tell them.

[Guest Uh O Dianuh]
