Guest A3ROMANTiC Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 A lot of people think I'm Chinese,Japanese,Laos or even Mexican. It's kinda fun to mess with there heads a bit, but in the end I tell them I'm Filipino then there expression changes o______o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest KOGEPANN;) Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I only got mistaken once for a korean when I went to the opticians and some guy asked if me and my "sister" (which was really my mom XD) if we were korean, but most of the time people can immediately tell I'm chinese.

Guest Kathy_ Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Lol. People can't get my ethnicity wrong a lot, just incomplete. "Are you viet?" "Yeah." "Are you Chinese?" "Yeah." Nobody asks if I'm French, though. [: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s13 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 i'm sure i've already replied but anyway, i get filipino probably because i'm kinda dark i think. and korean because my last name is jung and a lot of my friends are korean so i guess people just assume. i'm chinese by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kryiss Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 i get mistaken ALL the time. on very rare occasions someone will get it right... but most often not =o= most likely it's because i'm a halfie (chinese&korean)... so lots of people always get it wrong. whenever i meet someone new and they ask what's my ethnicity, i always tell them to guess first just to see how many choices i get to my first impression ethnicity xD so far i've got caucasian, chinese&japanese, full chinese, and full korean. there were some people who immediately guessed right thinking i must be half one asian and half another and that really surprised me *o*. so yea... my ethnicity confuses a lot of people. but one thing's for sure that people guess right is that i am ASIAN! LOL. that person who thought i was a caucasian needed his eyes checked or something... LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Princess_Sakura93 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I'm ALWAYS mistaken to be Chinese. When I'm actually Viet. I've been mistaken to be Korean once too, which I thought was interesting x] (People say that I look Chinese, so that's why they mistake my ethnicity.)

Guest SpicyTOFU Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Haha, a lot of times people double or triple guess my ethnicity. I've been called korean, japanese, viet, or some mix of an asian ethnicity. But I'm Chinese and proud of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ChiefHandker Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Back in elementary school, I used to be mistaken for being Chinese... but I'm Filipino. People thought that if you were asian... you were either Chinese or Japanese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest masala_chai_tea Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 All the time, but I expect it. Sometimes it works as an advantage and I am treated more kindly by my host community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
