Guest nozomi.no.uta Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 people can tell i'm japanese, but they can't figure out why my last name isn't japanese. i'm actually japanese filipino, but people can't guess i'm filipino because i don't look filipino at all. my last name doesn't even sound filipino--it sounds more latino. some people have even guessed i'm part korean or part chinese, but i'm not. it's kinda fun, hearing what people think i am.

Guest x3lenaj Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I'm filipino and well most of the filipinos I've met can tell that I am filipino.. well besides my friend who is half filipino-half white and she thought I was chinese.. but other ethnicities can't tell sometimes. When I was younger, sometimes people thought I was mexican (probably because my last name) and they would start talking spanish to me.. and I would just be like.. uhmm? And then some people started thinking I was chinese.. and I think that's maybe because I have light skin compared to others..? Like this one black guy pointed to a chinese guy in our text book and was like "Hey! It's your brother!!" Comments like that annoy me but it's interesting hearing what people think you are though. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sugarlessgirl Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 its really interesting...sometimes people think im all white, sometimes people think im all asian. i guess thats what comes from being a half. im half Japanese half white, but i often got mistaken for Filipino. but that was when i was younger. now people just ask "....are you asian?" hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest maryx33 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I'm chinese and people think I'm mixed or italian. I really don't know why. like when I get my nails/hair done they always ask me and I think I look chinese =\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rachilde Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I get mistaken for all kinds of nationalities--not all of which are even Asian nationalities. I was once mistaken for a Mexican while walking down the street Chinese people in China tend to mistaken me for one of the more tropical nationalities, while Chinese people in America tend to mistaken me for Japanese apparently 'because of my high cheekbones.' I do acquire a British accent when I get drunk (I don't know why, but it's a reliable way to tell how drunk I am), so sometimes I get mistaken as some kind of refugee from Hong Kong...

Guest JambaJuice Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 There's a lot of Mexicans and Vietnamese people in my community. The Vietnamese think I'm either Vietnamese or Filipino. The Mexicans always think I'm Chinese which I am. I'm a bit tan so I understand why people mistaken me as Filipino. Siiigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baoi Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I get Vietnamese all the time, which pisses me off because all vietnamese girls are fricken beautiful, an i don't think so about myself (soemtimes). Then when i get 'Korean" and i'm like, NO. My stupid cousins always call me Korean Japanese girl, and i hate it. I'm Hmong and they don't seem to want to acknowledge it.

Guest Black.cherry Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Always got mistaken as a japanese even by foreigners. Quite funny sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest &._Euphoria Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Namewise, I'm always mistaken for Korean by online peeps or foreigners. Facewise, I get mistaken as a mix between Indian-Chinese by Malays and as Malay by most Chinese. I still remember how the other Chinese talk bad about me when I went to camp. <.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
