Guest Airporte Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 A lot of people think that I'm Pakistani (or some kind of ME nationality), but I'm not. As far as I know, hispanic+caucasian =/= middle eastern, but I just go 'lolno' and explain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ching Ching Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I'm part Cambodian, part Chinese, so I obviously do not have round eyes. Yet people keep mistaking me for a Filipino/filipina. Yah, I'm pretty oblivious as to what I should use. They all practically have some Spanish in them, so yeahhh~ More round-shaped eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hungrycollegeboy Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I'm Hmong, but some people say I don't really look Hmong. It's funny when people try to guess my ethnicity. Them: Are you Chinese? Me: No Them: Are you Japanese? Me: No Them: Are you Korean? Me: No Them: Are you Vietnamese? Me: No Them: Are you Thai? Me: No Them: Are you Laotian? Me: No Them: Are you Filipino? Me: No Them: Are you even asian? Me: Yes. Them: What are you then? Me: I'm Hmong. Them: What's that LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest shigo Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I've been mistaken as a Korean before, which is really weird for me because I look the exact opposite of what Koreans look like in general. I mean we're talking brown skin, "healthy" size, and almond shaped eyes. And the thing is, the person who made that remark was a Korean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fcsol Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I'm filipino and it boggles my mind how people think I'm either .. Chinese (people from work - "you're too light to be filipino" - what?) Japanese (some old creepy dude on the subway - "hello, are you japanese?") Half white (this girl in my class - "are you asian? there's something about you that's very asian but not really. you look like a happa!") It's just that I think I look very filipino lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest §ξЯ��̃ξňf Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Almost everyone thinks I'm Chinese even though I'm Korean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest UnknownMelody Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I'm Chinese, But everyone who sees me guesses everything but my own race. They go on to the point where someone asked if i was mixed. It's really frustrating because I have super dark hair and my skin is pretty pale. Most mix people have really fair hair. Sigh. Some people are just really stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kimshizzle! Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Usually I take it like compliments. : D. But i get mistaken 1. Filipino 2. Hispanic- usually its this the most 3. mixed-usually hispanic I honestly don't really mind when people mess up. This one time i got mistaken as an Iranian, which i thought was pretty sweet.

Guest Ailes Noires Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Haha, I haven't had anyone ever guess correctly. I've gotten a dozen different people think I was Asian, and two of them were my (native) Japanese teachers. Most people say it's because I've got "Asian" or "squinty" eyes. My eyes are gray though! I've gotten Mexican a few times too, but mostly from white friends who are like half and just look white. I went to a friend's house who is as white-bread as it gets, and her mom is full Latina. I was like o.o I'm actually a LOT of things. I'm 1/2 French, 1/4 from basically all over Europe, and 1/4 Native American (and fairly mixed in that respect). People are just like "Me too! I'm like 1/43" or some strange number. That's cool, but it does not make you "one with nature" or something. xD; I dunno, I guess because I'm brown I identify more with the Native side of me than the white, but I'm cool with whatever. Although I have lots of "white looking" relatives who have more Indian blood than I do, and they're more active on the reservations... It's not my fault I live on the other side of the country! ;-; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
