[Guest Toy]

People mistake my ethnicity a couple of times.

I'm Laos and people mistake me for either Filipino or Cambodian o-o

[Guest suju_m]

[Guest eledoremassis02]

i'm japanese, but according to one friend - i don't look 'japanese enough'.

sorry i don't look like a reita or a pi?

Thats really sad....sorry you don't look like a sterotype....I've gotten that before too as well.

[Guest richieee]

I get called Viet ALL THE TIME. I went to pho once and the waiter started talking to me in Viet

I'm Filipino bobsaget.

[Guest pan•pan]

I'm Indonesian (but with Chinese ethnicity)

I often get mistaken for

Korean, Japanese and Filipino

[Guest leaves]

LOL! I'm chinese. and most asian ethnicitys they ask if you are chinese. ;DD

So they usually get it right. But when I'm around a lot of viet or philipino people, people think i'm one of them. O-O;; LOLOL!

It's funny actually. ;D

[Guest allatonce]

I'm Chinese, but I get Japanese ALL THE TIME. It's weird. I asked my Japanese friends and they don't think I look Japanese.

I get mixed from some people.

[Guest Babiebim]

last year, i went back to vietnam for vacationing, and i was in a hair salon and the ladies there thought me and my sister were both koreans, and they went all gugugaga over us and one of them spoke little english and started asking us about hte trend in korea. i was wtf the whole entire time, then i started speaking vietnamese and they just stared. T.T

i got chinese a lot (but then again... my white friends cant tell the asians apart)

[Guest oshidark]

oh emm geee sighh im half thai half english ,, ppl either say im full thai or singaporean haaha

[Guest littlejade]

i get mistaken as japanease, korean .. but im chinese.

mostly people guess im chinese.

[Guest ashley-x3]

people just assume that most asians are chinese so they always guess right when it comes to me, =]

but there is that someone who just guesses randomly once in a while, hahaha

"are you korean? japanese?? vietnamese?? CAMBODIAN?!?!"

"um, no."

[Guest asialover830]

i have....well, kinda? lol.

cause i have brown skin,lol yes, brown skin, not black lmao, of course they think i'm black (ahaha i said black even though i just said my skin is brown lmao), but sometimes from southeast asia? haha!..cause i guess there are a lot of tanned people down there and whatnot?

which is true, my mom is from the philippines lol.

and then with my name, since it's spanish, they always think mexico? are you half mexican? i'm like, huh? lol.

(even though from my mom's side, there is a bit of spanish, as in spain LOL)

and then cause my eyes are asian lol, one of my friends, who can't tell asian from what, thought i was mixed with chinese.

i just let her think that, cause half of them act like they don't know or have never heard of where the philippines is. -__-

haaaaaaa idk if this counts lol.

[Guest bombb_]

[Guest taiji.]

after i grew out my hair, people usually think i'm japanese or chinese.. they are so sure that they start speaking their language to me without even confirming that i'm their race.. lol actually, i went to a korean market today and the checkout person greeted me in korean.. i was so shocked that i was smiling the whole time i was there (she probably thought i was crazy) kuz people ALWAYS greet me in english probably thinking that i'm japanese or chinese.

when i was in high school, i used to be very dark kuz i went swimming a lot.. and a lot of people asked me if i was fillipino..

[Guest jongkii]

people ask me if i'm thai, laotian or cambodian. o__o
