I'm Chinese but I get mistaken for a Korean ALL THE TIME!

In Beijing I get mistaken,
In Washington D.C. I get mistaken,
In London I get mistaken...
Frankly it's been pissing me off!

In London, people think I'm American although it's not an ethnicity. But there are always people who are a little curious/suspicious of where I'm from but some wait for me to tell them first.

I'm filipino. They asked if I was Chinese. I replied with a no. Then they asked if I was Mexican. I then again replied with a no.

I'm Viet but I don't live in Vietnam

Whenever I come back to Vietnam to visit, they all think that I'm Chinese, Korean or Japanese, weird!

Always. People mistake me for Indian when they first meet me (except for Indian people).
