<person>Are you (insert race)?, <you>no, i'm(insert ur race) Options

[kantoaznboi]

has anyone ever asked if u were one race but ur not?

i've been mostly asked if i was flip or hawaiian, but also korean, and japanese but i'm nun of these i'm chinese. lol

sorry if this thread has been made already. close it if its a duplicate of another.

[whomps]

Nope. It's either "Are you vietnamese?" or "Are you chinese?"

I'm chinese.

[waccoon]

Nooo.
<- Taiwanese.

[leeeza702]

yeah.. I ALWAYS get that... for some reason everyone thinks I'm Japanese... ??? and it's so weird because in my opinion, I don't even look Japanese... i've also been asked if I was Chinese... I'm filipino though

[NiKECHiQ]

people always ask me if im hawaiin, samoan err mixed butt im full flip

[black_cloud10]

yeah.. I ALWAYS get that... for some reason everyone thinks I'm Japanese... ??? and it's so weird because in my opinion, I don't even look Japanese... i've also been asked if I was Chinese... I'm filipino though

don't kill me for this... but i thought u were black asian mix
cuz you look just like my friend LaCresha....

anyways i'm so obviously white its not even funny. peachy skin, blonde hair, the whole 9 yards...

someone asked me if i was noregian or something....two ppl have thought they were calling the wrong number because when i picked up the fone i "sounded black" in the last 4 or 5 months 8 people have called me an uh-oh oreo.

thats as racially confused as ppl get about me, i don't act white enough lol

[vivieeeen]

I was asked if I'm Japanese, but I'm not even close.

"maybe it's just another ignorant stereotyping thing?" <-- that's what i think to myself when asked

<3 vivz

ps I'm Chinese

[lookitskim]

Yea, i always get "Are u Korean?" but i'm Chinese. The reason y they think that i'm Korean is either my name or the way i look. But it's mostly because of my name. I'm not Korean but i know that the name Kim is a Korean "LAST NAME" not first name. Don't get me wrong Koreans are awesome.. i love their music.. i have a few korean cd's even though i can't understand them

[ghjgfkgfk]

80% think im greek
10% think im spainish because my name is maria (wtf?)
the other 10% are my friends who know i'm not. ;P

[tootsie_kiddo]

sum ppl think i'm either,

-hawaiian
-half american, half japanese
-half american, half korean
-filipino

or sumthing lyk partly europe and partly asian...

haha, it makes me laugh cuz i'm PURE JAPANESE

[*RiC3xBoy*]

some girl thought i was white and called my bob, guess she got the wrong guy

[SarahxJoy]

People keep asking me if I'm Hawaiin, Vietnamese, or Japanese. Some actually get it right and guess I'm Chinese. But that's not all I am.

<--Filipino, Chinese, Spanish, and Russian.

I'm a weird mix. Lol.

[xquizit]

People always ask me if I'm mixed. Usually latino and asian of some sort. A few times people thought I was mixed black and asian. Some have asked me if I'm mexican, spanish, viet, chinese... and hawaiian which is pretty common.

But I am 100% flip of course.

^HAHAHAHA

Uhm.
I haven't really been mistaken for anything, no.

I look sort of Irish.. and I am.
I've got the reddish hair and green eyes..
And people automatically assume I'm Scandinavian because North Dakota has so many of them running around. :P

Yes, I am Scandinavian.. Norwegian, to be exact.

Eh. Someone thought I was Swedish once, but that's not too far off from Norwegian, so I let it slip by.

[hybrid]

No one asks. They just assume I'm chinese. I'm not though.

Even my own cousins ask me; for pete's sakes, I'm related to them.

Cousin: Are you Chinese?
Me: You should know, we're related.
Cousin: Are you sleeping? Your eyes are closed.
Me: WTF?!

[Levy2k6]

some ppl sometimes say i look asian or something

im a freaking hispanic!

[silver-rain]

eh, i don't think i've ever been mistaken for another race- everyone thinks i'm chinese- which i am.

[acidbreeze]

No, if anyone needs to verify that I'm white, they're probably blind, so they have an excuse. But they might be able to tell my skin color by the way I talk, and if they feel my hair.

Most guess correct that I'm German. I'm also Czech and some other European ethnicities..

haha to all the chinese being mistaken for having their eyes closed, saying that you thought the other person was retarded, and the touch of death

[LiNHy POO]

are you chinese? are you puertio rican? haha im VIETNAMESE!

[xx angelbabu xx]

people have asked me if i am chinese... and this one kid asked me if i was malaysian..

[pnai4eva]

most people think that i'm chinese...er, sumthin like that. I'm really filipina tho.

[*jooleeah*]

hahaha, i always get " are you japanese??" o_0 i dont think i look japanese...and i love it when people go " are you koreanese?" it just makes them sound so dumb haha.
okay, anyway, i'm taiwanese =D yep.

[aud_chua]

someone thought i was japanese once.. another thought that i was korean.. i'm neither.. i'm straight-up chinese! then they get confused, of course, with my accent.. it's not really a filipino accent nor is it chinese (filipino because i was raised there).. anyway.. it's just weird...
it's funny cuz my sister got a lot of weird comments.. people have mistaken her to be korean, malaysian, indonesian, japanese, carribean, and english (the last two are due to the accent).
my other friend, who's guatemalan, was mistaken to be german, white, and russian..! hahaha..! helluva funny..!!!

[JlIaTMK]

what i really hate is when american ppl say this....

10% greek
20% irish
10% norweigen (sp?)
40% italian
10% french

it's just annoying.... okay.... if ur that much of a mix.... then ur really no that nationality.... then ur basically "american"

oh and ppl have asked if im half black....
no im not.... im just one of the few rare ones that have a fro

[vietspirit]

ppl ask me if i'm chinese, then korean, then jap, then viet, but i'm all of those cept chinese cuz my dad divorced two moms.

[Just_Dream]

Um.. once this one girl, she was Mexican (I don't have anything against them, I have Mexican friends ) and she's all "what are you? Korean or something?"

I think because they think Koreans have the lightest skin of all. And I was like "no.." and they're all "Are you Lao then?" Bleh >_<"

But other times they're like "*bleeping* Chino."

Bleh idk why some ppl are so racist towards me

[distortedMIND]

This one guy asked if I was Spanish.

But I'm Filipino.

[vivienong]

whoa i'm so excited that there are chinese and taiwanese ppl here! holla holla :D

welll erm.. usually people ask if i'm korean .. then japanese.. then the weirdest "mix" coz of my nose and skin color or sumthing.

but yeah.. haha its all gud.. i'm actually
taiwanese and singaporean ;)

[chikken_curry]

ahhh i hate that...people have asked me if I'm filipino, iraqi, or chinese

I'm just a light skinned Indian..

I am black & filipino.
People think I am hawaiian alot. oh well

[juliar]

It doesn't reall ymatter to me, because it's not like i can expect hispanic, black, white people to be able to actually see the differences between chinese and korean, chinese and japanese. I get asked alot whether im chinese, japanese or korean. I can kind of tell the difference but the others might not.
So I don't care.
