Has this ever happened before?

[InDaBox]

Have you ever been mistaken for being Korean, Japanese or any other asian nationality?

It happens to me a lot and it really bothers me.

Also how do you deal with this?  

[xiiao-ai]

Despite my mix of nationalities,

People say I look Malaysian.

.__.

I don`t really mind it though.

I don't think people really mistake my ethnicity that often, but then again I don't ask what they thought I was. It's quite irrelevant in my opinion.

@Sin: What mix are ye?  

[my.own.little.world]

ppl never ask me they just label me as asian, but when some people know that i'm chinese, i sometimes say i'm cantonese and they would always say, "wait your cantonese, i thought you're chinese." lol. now that always happens to me.

Most people say that I'm Chinese or Japanese >_______>;;

Just because those 2 are the only asian/oriental nationalities they know rolleyes

But I'm actually Viet.

Someone tried guessing what nationality I am once...
And it ended up me telling them that I was Viet...
And she had this blank face after that I told them that o______o

And whenever people tell me to talk to them in Chinese, I'm always like,

"What? Oh, there's no such thing as a chinese language ^___________^"

- Blank faces around me -

xd

But hey, the chinese language is a group of languages that originates from China, right? ;3
They didn't say what chinese language that I had to speak to them...
(canton, mando, fookien etc.)

Hmn, once we went up to this ice-cream stall in London and the guy immediately pulled out this board with the menu on it in Korean.. my friend and I cracked up so much and he was like "what?" xD and it was actually so weird because the guy himself was Greek.. sweatdrop  

[xiiao-ai]

Toki hasn`t heard about Sin being mixed?

Sin`s:

Chinese. (Canto)

Viet.

Thai.

Laosian.

French.

Australian.

Don`t ask how.

I just am.

Too tedious to explain.

I don't know why, but some a*****e thought I was Native or Aboriginal person.

I call him an a*****e because first he was like "Have you ever been to a pow wow?" and so on and so forth. When he figured out I was Chinese, he went on to ask "do you use chop sticks? Do you know kung fu?" a very stupid man.  

[kyoslove74]

I only got mistaken as a korean once and mayeb a thair girl as well  

[shinelover]

i've been mistaken as japanese by other japanese ppl XD i dun really mind much i guess....coz no one really goes on and on about it..

i was only mistaken as a jap coz i was speaking it though...O__o

everyone can tell i'm chinese....but when they ask i prefer saying i'm honky (hong kong nese)

ppl do tend to ask random questions when they know ur nationality....but ppl dun ask if i know kung fu since i'm a girl...funny thing is i did learn it XD haha~~ aii the stereotypes of nationalities and of coz gender~~  

[Minielf]

I've never been mistaken for anything else other than a Chinese. Both my parents' families are pure blood Chinese.
