What nationality/ethnicity people have mistaken you?

:laugh: Aw shoot. Depends on where in the world I am. Most of the time, here in the States, people think I'm Mexican or of some hispanic/latin descent. Other times people have thought I'm Thai, Indian, etc. I am Filipino and probably take more after the spanish blood I might have in my family. When I'm anywhere besides the U.S. people usually guess that I'm from the Philippines.0

I am 1/2 Spanish and the rest is native American and white. I get confused for different races all of the time.lol.
Me too. I'm half Mexican and a quarter Cherokee and quarter "white" LOL. People are always surprised.0 -
I'm Russian. I get mistaken for being Mexican or German a lot. Mexican mainly because of my name and people just assume I can speak Spanish.0

I'm the one all the way to the right in my pic. Went up to Toronto a couple weekends ago and these guys from Ireland thought I was Irish, because of how I looked and they said I had an Irish accent! That was a first. 100% Polish heritage, born in USA0

I'm half white and Hispanic, but I've been told I look Japanese (they always say it's the hair and eyes). But "mi nariz indio" always gives it away jaja0

I was mistaken for Chinese when I was very little, I had black hair and my eyes weren't very wide. As a kid after I tanned all summer from stuff I would be mistaken for Hispanic. I had an art teacher tell me I looked Native American. Granted I have Native American blood in me, but it's very diluted. I've even been told I look like I'm a mixed child (Black x White) though I never could understand why.0

I am a mix of all sorts (Italian, Irish and Creole) but people often mistake me for hispanic. But when I tan, people think I am mixed with african american and hispanic/white.0

I usually get pegged as being of Irish descent...and I am.
Must be the Guinness I drink! lol0 -
I'm white but often I have been mistaken for Native American (even by Native Americans) and a few times Mexican. The greatest part is that my husband is a registered tribal member for our local (Native American) tribe.0

I'm African-American, but get mistaken for Cuban or Brazilian on occasion--especially when I'm hangin' in Miami!0
