What are you mistaken for? #1

As in ethnicity...

I am mistaken for Filipino most of the time, especially by the Filipino themselves. I kinda like it because I like Filipino.

I am also mistaken for,

- Blasian
- Laos
- Thai
- Polynesian
- Indonesian
- Chinese
- Mexican Mix Asian

What about you?

I think that Cambodian is the most diverse looking race out there. A lot of us 100% cambodian sometime look Indian, Hawaiian, Mexican, Brazilian, Chinese, Korean, Laos, Thai, Polynesian people, Native American, African American...etc.

People never really say we are Cambodian. They never get to it! D:

I have people who random start talking to me in their language and I just stood there saying nothing and sometime I pretend to know and just nod my head. LOl...one day I was walking at night from school and then a lady stop her car and start asking me stuff in Spanish and I just shake my head because I don't know the street she was asking. XD I can understand some spanish but I can't speak so yeah. Lol

Not only that, she thought I was a girl. She call me Chica and then start throwing up a bunch of words at me. Hahaha

Eh.

I'm white. There's really no distinction between whites and other whites like there is with other races. You're pretty much "white" regardless if you come from Irish, Scottish, Scandinavian, English, etc. heritage.

Since I look like the average Dane.... I haven't really encountered that problem a lot, though I was once mistaken for being Polish (No idea why though)

I'm with Johnny. Though since I'm blonde, I get Russian the most. I've even been called russian names since they seem to forget my real name.
I'm mostly german, but I have gotten Holland once. THAT was an odd time,

Someone thought I was part Chinese somewhere in my blood because of how small my eye socket is, it's less than one inch of eye socket.

I'm German (Good chance Western), Dutch, Portuguese, Welch, Native American (less than 1%, Souix Indian Tribe), and Wales

The reason people call a lot of asian chinese, is because they are not educated enough so their only safe answer is to go with Chinese. Some people think all asian are Chinese and it is stupid.

I know I don't know enough about Asian ethnicities so I wouldn't have evened tried go guess. >_>

But I'm just white, we don't even get a special option on standardized tests.

Jyuudaime, I look at your picture, you don't look any where black at all. XD I wonder why people think that. :3

I think it's because of my sister.
She straightens her hair a lot, so...
It gets rather poofy and things.
So that is probably why.
They look at my younger sister.
Then at me.
And they just assume.
Idk. It doesn't bother me~ 8D

Yeah and black people are pretty nice. XD

People think black people are this and that, they keep assuming because of how they act and talk loudly. But when you get to know them, they are actually nice and like to have fun! :D I love my black friends, they are so nice and loving.

Yeah, stereotypes make the world go around, I guess. It's pretty ridiculous.
Like Asians should all be brilliant, yeah no.
I am very c+ average... xD
