I guess the most common one I get is that I'm Persian. To be honest, I'm not even quite sure how Persians are suppose to look. I should probably Google that. I get the whole middle eastern thing a lot though. I'm an American with Mexican/French/Spanish bloodline.0

I'm Korean, but I've had people think I was Native (thanks to Disney's Pocahontas), Chinese (had a lot of little kids ask me if I was Mulan when the movie came out), Japanese, Hmong, and Filipina. I have had so many Hmong people come up to me speaking in their language that I have started responding to them in Spanish (hubby is Mexican). Love seeing the confusion on their faces when I do that!
BTW - I have a love-hate relationship with Disney!0 -
