I've been mistaken for being Japanese most of the time =/

Just because I watch anime, draw pokemon characters, am asian, can do origami and can say a few japanese words rolleyes

Then they assume I'm chinese xp

I've been mistaken for being Japanese, too! Some stupid people in my school just think all Asians have to be Japanese -__- I've had a couple of people come up to me and say "Konichiwa" to me..

Well.. over where I live. Basically everybody thinks anybody who is Oriental is Chinese... but I am Chinese.

+ Hmm, I've been mistaken for Filipino, I was at Wonderland on Filipino day with my friend and this woman came up to me and was like "Let's all take a picture, since we're all Filipino!" I was just like "Uhmm.. I'm Chinese.."

+ Some think I'm Japanese, I asked them why and they were like "Your hair, it looks like one of those Japanese anime girls." But.. a lot of people have bangs..

+ Also for Viet, because I don't know why.. =/ I can't tell Viet's apart from other Orientals, I don't know why.

Oh, and some people think I'm mixed with white.

I get mistaken for a Japanese(just cause I took classes and know a lot about it) or a Korean xd  

[Chibi Akane]

Many time. I get mistaken for a Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese. =__=;;

 

[Rosamaine]

I've been mistaken for a Japanese, Korean, and half Chinese half Caucasian. And it's mostly due to my hair. x___x

That's a really good idea! French is actually my second language (after cantonese) and English is my third. Well, Qubec is a French province (called state in U.S.) so I have no choice to go to a French Elementary and high school.

I get mixed up a lot, all the time. But well, a caucasian from a small country of Finland really shouldn't expect to be recognized everywhere. sweatdrop

If I'm mistaken as British or American because of my English, I'm usually a bit flattered by fooling people to think I'm a native speaker. However, aside from that, there's nothing nice about coming from a country most people can't even place on a map. stare
