Guest Rena23 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I've only had one random person guess and she thought I was Mexican. I asked my friend and she said just white. I am half white so whatever but I'm not Mexican at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest marco.polo Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 LOL yeah all the time. I'm Filipino so a lot of people ask if I'm mexican HAHA . Sometimes people can get it right sometimes they don't. I guess it depends on how often they're around a certain race of people. For example, I couldn't really tell much difference between Chinese, Japanese, and Korean people. Ever since I entered high school (I'm a Senior now) I started hanging out with more Chinese, Japanese, and Korean people - since then, I've been able to tell who belongs what race pretty easily.

Guest Kate Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I'm Korean but people always ask me if I'm Chinese or Viet. Even a lot of my Chinese friends think I look Chinese. xD But then, Koreans can always tell that I'm Korean.

Guest green_T Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Yup, I'm half indo (not chinese indo btw) and half white but people always think I'm Chinese. Like the other day I was sitting on a bench and there was an old Chinese lady sitting next to me reading a Chinese newspaper and she started talking to me in one of the Chinese languages pointing at a Chinese ad in the paper. But I told her I can't speak that language and she asked in English where the suburb was in the address of the ad. Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fobbiyo Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 YES! ALL THE TIME!! It includes being Filipino or Cambodian. O_O I have dark skin, so I guess that's why people mistaken me often. :| One time, my Spanish teacher asked me what language my parents spoke and I said "Vietnamese". And then he said "AND?" I'm like "That's all." He keeps on bugging me with that until this other guy said "Tagalog" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest candy77 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 ALL the freeeaken time! but i guess i'm use to it now. so far no one has gotten my ethnicity right so if someone asks i just tell them "yup" and don't even bother...not like it matters anyways.

Guest tashaisasian Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Yes. Apparently I look super Korean (I'm Vietnamese) - Vietnamese people AND Korean people think I'm Korean. Like one of my Vietnamese friends usually greets me with a "You look so Korean today." instead of a hi. And this lady at the Korean store started speaking Korean to me and I was like awkwardly staring at her. So weird. This is how I actually met someone: Huy (aka him): Are you Korean? Me: No. Kien (some other guy): No but she looks like it huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kpop_haha124 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I'm Korean, but when most people look at me, the first thing they say is either chinese or filipino.... i'm like "T.T" when i was in elementary school ppl thought i was those or japanese, they never thought that i was korean.. anything but korean... they said that cuz my skin was a bit darker..=[[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cjgohan2003 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Last night I got "korean and japanese" from two filipino taxi drivers. It might be my redness due to alcohol that makes people think that way err. Yea, but under normal circumstances, I usually get filipino (they say the nose is a giveaway, lmao).

ra123 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I'm Korean, but I get mistaken for: caucasion mix or Japanese. I hate the fact that I don't look homogeneously asian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
