Do you ever get your ETHNICITY mistaken...?

[Guest thedubester69]

I'm Indian, but EVERYONE thinks I'm Persian... second guess is Mexican.

[Guest mikomi]

at first it's, Japanese?

Then it's,...Vietnamese????

Then it's...chinese..?!

Then it's.......Korean!!!

Mongolian..? Cambodian?? ( at this point they start shooting random asian countries and I wait until they run out of countries and start going western...okay okay so mabe not western)

...Nope! I'm mixed!! Korean and Japanese =D

[Guest PhuongNguyen]

A lot of people have told me I look white... cause my complexion is really pale, and my undertone is pink; instead of yellow... which most Asian are. Plus, my eyes aren't very "slanted" I suppose? So they always think I'm mix. But yeah, I look completely Asian in my opinion.

I went to dye my hair the other day, and this lady was like "You mix girls are sooo pretty, and your hair color is soo nice!" She thought my hair color was brown (Because my hair is dye blond, but for some reason, the root is brown instead...) and then she goes on and on about how she wish she was mix so she can have white skin and big eyes... I was sitting there trying to hold my laughter; along with my boyfriend... because it's so funny how she goes on and on about me being mix; when I'm not.

[Guest jobenLOL]

People usually things im mexican cause of my dark skin & last name (Lorenzo)

then there are people who think im part japanese cause of my name (Joben) ,

but yeahhhh im filipino D:

[Guest burberry88]

People think I'm vietnamese sometimes. Sometimes I even get asked if I'm filo.

But I'm chinese.

[Guest FrozenWaterMelon]

People think im full korean cause im half, but i do look full at times.

and sometimes people think im chinese or japanese when I don't even look like it

[Guest happypie]

in the past many mistook me as chinese though i look 0% chinese, bc there's a lot of chinese students at my school. but nowadays, most people i meet get it right and see me as korean.. :]

[Guest sweetBox_92]

Umm.. I've had a few..

I recently changed to this international school and so many people thought I was Chinese, or half-Chinese.

I was like.. NO.. I'm 100% Malay.

And when I went to a TVXQ concert, some girls were introducing me to their new forum, and they were like, "Are you Korean BTW?"

..I doubt I actually look that way HAHA

[Guest Happy Kitten]

I get mistaken sometimes... the strangest was when someone thought I was a mix of Spanish/Russian.... and I was like "whaaaaa?"

[Guest Shine]

I've been called a lot.

Mostly ask if I'm Chinese, half true though.

I was thought to be Korean lots of times (especially when I'm with my Korean friends). Which is weird coz I have tanned skin. >___<

Mexican a couple of times.

I'm Filipino-Chinese. XD

[Guest lirongg]

I've been called an Indonesian and Filo. But really, I'm Taiwanese -- just tanned.

Or people will just look like this: o___O, when I speak Chinese.

yea, kinda same here.

i am a singaporean- chinese

but my new classmates always tot i am a malay.

and i really wonder WHY?!!!

[Guest dnc2]

i'm a quarter african and 3 quarters caucasian

i've been mistaken for an asian ?

x)

[Guest sweet-like-chocolate]

im half puerto rican and half korean but i always get asked if im spanish! weird!

-edit-

[Guest sweetxbabbieexo]

umm only one person thought i was filipino

even though i'm chinese

and the other times people think mostly i'm japanese cuz of my hair and my look

but people who just dont know i say i'm korean and then they actually believe it lols xd

[Guest Adver]

i'm chinese and people ask me if i'm japanese or korean, and 1 time i think someone thought i was spanish...

[Guest showbuzz]

i'm sorta happy bout that, but i'm still confuse why people calling me that.

[Guest lather- rinse- repeat]

I get mistaken as Japanese or Korean all the time ;_; But I'm Chinese. :x

[Guest meilove]

i get chinese from lots of ppl. i am 1/8 chinese but i don't think it shows.

and sometimes i get korean.

most of the time ppl are right though

[Guest wnelek]

[Guest passmethewrinch]

People sometimes mistake me for being Spanish when I'm clearly Asian.
