Guest Sorara Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 @SREY_MAO; Well Filipinos are asian, or am I wrong ? There's a lot of dark-skinned asian so yea ._.'' Or maybe i'm just misunderstanding you, but anyways.By the way, The Caps are making my eyes bleed ... ----------- For Me, well I often get mistaken for { By Order of "popularity" }; Cambodian Fillipino Lebanese I'm actually of Moroccan-Berber origin. I look like any other Moroccan {{ Well I think }} but for others it's kinda hard to tell. Tho I was born in Canada, So I'm "canadian". Err I hate it when people ask "Where are you from?" , I don't know how I'm suppose to answer~ But anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest popninglock Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 People sometimes mistake me for being Mexican cause of my dark skin I guess . . . I'm a lot of things, but more of Italian and Indonesian show up in my skin. I'm German, Irish, Italian, Indonesian~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MissDoeEyes Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 All the time lol In order of Popularity: 1. Vietnamese 2. Korean (I ono why since I don't look the least bit Korean) 3. Filipino (???) 4. Hawaiian (I guess there's a decent amount of Asians in Hawaii....) I'm actually Han Chinese and Japanese although I don't really look like either.

Guest `rh0na Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Well, most of time, yes XD. Malays here think i look a lot like a Bruneian. Even the Filipinos here think im Bruneian. Unless i start to speak in Tagalog, that's what shocks them. They even ask, "Are you pure Filipino?" XD. Well, once, when i told this girl that im Filipino, she said i look more than like a Filipino. I dont know what she really meant by that. xD. Some think i look like a Chinese though. (maybe it's because of my eyes, mainly) . There was also once when a Korean said i look like a Korean. LOL.

Guest goodnessgracious Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 All the time . People regularly assume that I am half-Asian, which is not really the case. My father is 100% Caucasian Russian, my mom is supposed to be one as well (her older brother is blue-eyed blond), but due to some random genetical "mistake" she looks mixed, and so apparently am I. I don't really see it in myself though. My skin is very pale, my eyes are double lidded and my hair are wavy. My brother is often mistaken for Spanish/Italian. Well he is pretty dark and hairy Also, when in UK most of the people assume that I am British. That is because I don't have Russian accent when I speak English. I wonder why?

Guest babiloveyoo Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 when i was freshman, a teacher asked me if i was japanese. or has a japanese bloodline. i said no. omg me too back when I was a freshman in High School except I was dozing off and the teacher goes "what am I teaching it wrong?" And it was when we were learning about Japanese stuff and I go "huh?" I told her that I'm Korean and she goes "oh I can never tell asians apart" and I go "yeah obviously...". Another time my asian friend goes you don't look Korean so I asked what do I look like then? She goes I don't know -.-... And even her mom said that if I was in Japan I would fit in and people would think I'm Japanese O.O And I DON'T look anything like a Japanese person at all O.O lols And other people just wait until I tell them what I am and they go " OH" lols >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was like...WTH?! And then he said 'I give you discount...' and i said, 'aniyo...' many people mistake me for being Korean when I don't even look like one...why is that? maybe because I hang around with koreans too much...hahahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest water.mizu Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Ahh finally I found a thread to vent my mistaken identity lol [ETHNICITY]! I get mistaken all the time: Hawaiian Vietnamese Filipino!? Spanish I got mistaken once for being Laotian. And my own people usually questions if I am one. This usually all happens at work, where customers for some reason like to guess what I am. lol Fun at times but gets irritating. I'm Cambodian and I believe I look one too. I don't understand the misconception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
