Guest Linh_Linh Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Valnity: you could pass for viet bc of your eyes and skin color. however, you have the exact same nose my chinese friend does. hehe. i'm full viet, but i get a variety of things. most non-asians will guess chinese, japanese, korean, filipino, indian, mixed, and hispanic (in that order) until they finally give up and say "ok, what are you? i know for a fact ur not black." hahah. then chinese ppl will think i'm chinese while 50% of viets think i'm viet and the other 50% think i'm something else. and yea, it's just screwed up. i think it's my eyes. white ppl say i have "white ppl eyes." i spent my entire kindergarten and first grade years with hispanic written down as my race. although i didn't know what the word hispanic meant, i told my teacher i was something that started with an A (asian), but noooo she insisted that i was hispanic and that my last name (nguyen) was really pronounced (new-jin). ~sigh~ ignorant white teacher.

Guest WendiiV Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 OMG YES!!! For once, I wish I coudl here someone say I look Hispanic...because i'm 100%. But no, I get everything but. People think I look Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, or Native American. Or a mix of those things. I do not look asian at all! The world must be blind! lol. Honestly, I was okay with it before 'casue i was just like "okay, so i'm unique lookign for a hispanic" but now it's getting tiring.

Guest Straznmx Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I am half korean and half mexican mix(with a lot of spanish blood). But no one ever gets my mix right. Most common asked: Spanish, Mexican, Hawaiian, Native American(which is weird b/c I am pretty light skinned), Persion, Egyption, and Indian. Once I got asked if I was filpino, but I think that was because i was hanging around a lot of them at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest INSANE Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 sorry if this was posted already ; feel free to close . + apologizing if in the wrong section . so basically , do you look like what your ethnicity is ? like I'm Filipino, but when people see me they would ask if i was chinese or japanese or korean. when they would finishing guessing and ask what i was, they would be in disbelief when i told them what i actually was and they would go on and on about how i don't look like it and it kinda bothers me sometimes. and so i just wanted to see who else went/goes through the same thing as me i'm 100% filipino too! and i get vietnamese a lot! even viet people think i'm viet. which is weird O.o lol. i think it's because i have pale/white skin for a filipino. but i still have the filipino nose O.o but after a while, i'm just like.. whateva.

Guest ji-hae Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 i get Chinese and Vietnamese a lot. Since I've started college, I've gotten Korean a lot. I've gotten half white, mixed asian, Filipino, Thai, Hawaiian, Japanese, whatever people can guess. =/ My skin tone and hair style makes me look different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JOONIE.su Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Naturally, I think I look Thai because of my facial features such as my eyes....but because my hair and style makes me look 'Japanese' as many like to tell me, they never believe that I'm Thai.

Guest CuteThings Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 ^I think you do look thai, it's the lips that makes you look thai i believe -- what is exactly a filipino nose? I've seen it mentionned numerous time in this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hotarumichan777 Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 hm... what do you guys think I look like. i haven't had anyone guess what i am for a while. since everyone at my school just knows me as an asian panda. haha... (that'd be my nickname) (i posted two, so you could see a contrast in my different... positions? don't know how to put it.) i've got wierd answers from basically anything in between Polish to a mixed Arab/Chinese girl. i guess sometimes i look like a mix euro/asian in the summer when the sun lightens my hair to brown and my eyes can turn light brown too... but I'm not telling you my ethnicity right now. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest supa'Wanki Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I get mistaken as Philipino or Japanese. I'm Korean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ll 7l Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I get mistaken all the time. I'm Filipino. When I was in high school I would get mistaken to be Hispanic....ALL the time!! It drove me crazy. For the past few years though, I've gradually been getting "asian mixed." Once, about 6 months ago, I was specifically asked, "are you half Korean?" About last month I was asked if I was Japanese. People only get my ethnicity correct if I'm hanging out with my family or if I'm around other Filipinos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
