It feels like I've gotten it all: Indian from India, UAE, Filipina, Mexican, etc.

Asian...usually Fillipino, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. But I'm really Mexican, Spanish,& Dutch.0

Dominican, Hawaiian, Cambodian, Thai, and Mexican.0

I'm english with irish and welsh in the mix. I think I look like it too - blue/green eyes, dark hair, pale skin. I've been mistaken for german!! I was in the US at the time though - I guess all us northern europeans must look the same0

I'm half English and Indian (Asian). People rarely think I'm half Indian, it's usually Italian, Spanish or generally Mediterranean0

People think you are Italian after hearing your (screen)name is Zombie?0 -
I'm half Arab and half white I have long dark curly hair and olive skin color. I get asked if I'm from Cuba or someting, because I look exotic. Lol usually I'll be like sure so I don't make them feel embarrised and I don't have to explain why I'm not Muslim. Its fun and cool looking like another race :-)0

Wouldn't that be... tri-racial? I kid... I'm a kidder...
I, too, am what has always been affectionately referred to as a half-breed.
I've been mistaken for Hispanic, Italian, Middle Eastern, Jewish...
Folks can usually guess half based on my last name... I've only had two people ever guess the other half...
I'm black & Irish...0 -
Someone once asked me if I was Russian. I'm polish and welsh.0
-
A lot of people assume I'm from Russia .. Basically because of my name "Natasha".0

I get Russian/Polish/Hungarian often, which is flattering. Most of the females from that section of Europe have pale skin, light eyes and dark hair so it makes sense. People often look stunned when I tell them I was born in Ireland.0
-
Usually Korean, Japanese, or Thai. Sometimes Mexican or Kazakhstani.0
-
Persian, Turkish, Argentinian, Guatemalan or Portuguese, but when i start talking my accent comes out and people instantly figure out that my background is Russian.0

I have been mistaken for Mexican, Indian, Greek, Half black, omg I have heard it all....lol! I am actually Half Polynesian, and half white......It is interesting to hear what people come up with, hehe....Then it is also dependant upon the time of year. In the summer I get such a deep tan, and look much more ethnic.0
