Half English (MOM)/ Half scandinavian (DAD)
some people say I look brazilian.. nuts :explode:0 -
I've been mistaken for Italian, Greek and Spanish when in Europe and Australian when in America due to my accent being confusing!!!
I'm English for at least two generations on both sides of my family, am Dutch Jew on my mother's side after that, but I get the colouring that makes people mistake my nationality from my dad's side and they are as English as you can get, as far as I'm aware!0 -
I've been asked if I'm West Indian (from the west indies). But most of the time I get "what you mixed with?! You got pretty hair." lol -_-0
-
Greek - I tan VERY easily and for some reason get asked if I am greek, dunno why.0
-
Im Hispanic (Puerto Rican) and like most hispanics in the U.S. we all get mistaken for being Mexican.. =/
But once I had a lady at work that thought I was Chinese.. now thats a WTF? moment.. I have no features that would
indicate that.. :noway:0 -
I've gotten Spanish, Italian, Greek, eastern European. Most never usually guess correctly: Chinese (Dad) / Caucasian (Mom)... unless they are Asian or an Asian-mix themselves.0
-
Everything under the sun, from Latina to Black.0
-
I'm often told I have 'Italian features.'
Not sure what that means tbh...0 -
Ive gotten Caucasian, Nigerian (WHAT?), Lebanese, Italian (somehow), ummmm.... i think thats it. LOL0

I'm Mauritian, but no one would guess that in a million years
So I always get (in this order): Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Afghani, Sri Lankan, Moroccan, Tunisian, Iranian, Iraqi, South African, Kenyan, Brazilian(?!), and on a couple of occasions Peruvian, because people have given up at that point :laugh:
I live in an area where everyone's Eastern European, black and asian, so I suppose I have to fall into one of those ethnicities lol0 -

I'm Colombian, but people have mistaken me to be from eastern europe, iraq, Turkey(actually people from there thought I was and one came speaking turkish to and I'm like: "I'm sorry?"), italy, all over central and south america...my looks and accent throw everyone off... so far only 2 people have been able to get right away where I'm from. haha
I love making people guess nowadays, it is amusing hearing what far off places people think I'm from0 -
I am Irish, African American, Puerto Rican and Cherokee Indian.
A lot of people mistake me for being Asian mix or East Indian. I guess since I have a small mix of Taino & Cherokee Indian in me it's kinda accurate...
When I lived in Miami, everyone thought I was Dominican even the other African Americans...Nope! but they were close....
My husband is always mistaken for being white. He isn't though. He is Italian, Nigerian & Swiss from Brazil... He flips out when someone calls him white... ha ha ha ha0 -
The only ethnicity I've ever been mistaken for was Romanian because I used to dye my hair really dark and my complexion is similar. Most of my blood traces back to Russian, which is close enough to Romania, I guess. :ohwell:0

What a nice melting pot of cultures!!!0 -
Everything. Almost everything. I'm mixed, Brazilian, Arabic, Indian.
When I was in Italy, people thought I was southern Italian. I've been mistaken for Greek, Portugese, Spanish, Mexican. Pretty much most latin countries. Indian, Arabic, Lebanese. It's a game, lets guess Allie's ethnicity0 -

My S/O is Colombian and no one ever guesses it right. A lot of people thinks he's Dominican, full on Caribbean or other places in South America, but never Colombian
I thought he was Mexican when we first met lol0
