must be coz of my slightly tanned skin, and straight hair.

But now i got lighter, and wore the cat-eye liner thingy, some think i'm korean.

maybe 80% of people at first think i'm either hispanic, hawaiin, or korean.
but there are also 20% who at first glance, they know i'm filipino.

[Guest Zanmato1430290832]

People think that I'm American, because I use English very ofter and my Polish is getting bad day by day XD

[Guest jammer25]

I'm Mexican.  I've been mistaken for a lot of things especially here in the Bay Area, but the most common ones I get are Italian and eastern European (e.g. Slavic countries). 

[Guest nomorerice]

Some people have called me Thai, Chinese, or Filipino. I'm half Korean and Black/White.

[Guest moo_lah]

Often mistaken for Italian or Russian. Sometimes full Caucasian or even half Asian, and someone thought I was Spanish once. I once had a guy name all the damn countries and continents under the sun and he still didn't get it right.

Australian/Chinese/Samoan right here bro.

He thought I was asian lol

I'm Vietnamese-Chinese, but people have mistakened me for Korean once. Japanese a few other times (I don't see it).

[Guest jenlong]

I get mistaken for caucasian when i'm latina, dutch and korean. :|

[Guest vindemi]

I was born in the Philippines. Both of my parents came from the areas near Boracay and my mom's side has both Spanish and Chinese blood. (My mom told me once that my great grandfather was handsome lol). My dad has some Spanish blood too. 

That leaves me in the "wtf" category. No one knows what I am at first -__- Koreans think I'm Korean, Japanese people think I'm Japanese and Filipino people think that one of my parents is a foreigner or that I'm Korean or Japanese. I almost am of something but not quite. /identitycrisis.

Only a few people guess right....

[Guest berryuser]

One of the guys at work had mistaken me as an Inuit, when I'm actually Chinese

[Guest yungblud]

i get asian a lot. mainly korean, vietnamese or filipino. i'm native american, english and french. 

[Guest tiannie1430268553]

Most of the time, I'm mistaken for Korean (most likely has to do with who I hang out with). Some think I'm half white.
I'm full Chinese. 

[Guest HERMIT]

Some people I encounter are plain rude. 
They can't even say that I look Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, Taiwanese, etc.
They just say that I'm Obese.

[Guest flaminhot]

I'm Korean, but I've heard everything...Japanese, Chinese, Filipino, Vietnamese, Cambodian, Mongolian, Singaporean...you name it. But, when Koreans or Japanese kids see me, they get it right the first time. 

[Guest Durian Puff]

I've been asked if I was Japanese one time.

[Guest lindseyannie]

Most people think I'm black or South Asian (like Indian or Pakistani). I'm half white and half Chinese. (According to my mum, but my dad has a Korean surname. Seriously. It's Son. If he was Chinese, it would be Sun or Suen. I'll believe my mum for now.)

[Guest hearthealer]

I get korean, a lot...first got to canada, korean girls in my science project group spoke korean till they realized i had this zoned out "huh???" look....my ex bf who's korean thought i was korean (he didn't know me before we dated), his friends thought i was a mainland chinese...korean restaurants greet me in korean, store vendors in korea get confused when my friends translate for me and most recently, flight attendants on SIA out of Singapore served me in Korean and at Incheon airport i ran into some taiwanese/mainlanders who were surprised i spoke mandarin....
I've also gotten taiwanese, from my taiwanese friends and mainland chinese from lots of people, white people just guess and guess everything from japanese, korean, chinese, taiwanese, cantonese etc...
My current bf thought i was mixed, asian and caucasian on account of my naturally light reddish brown hair, and dark almost black eyes....
I'm Singapore Chinese.

[Guest Cobalt.Butterfly]

I've gotten a few. I'm half white, half middle eastern, but I mostly look white. xD Here's what I've gotten:

-Greek
-Egyptian
-Half Asian (Japanese)
-Italian
No one can guess my real ethnicity, so it's fun to see what some people come up with 8D

[Hell104]

most people always guess me as korean at first but im a mix of cambodian/viet
