Just curious on what ppl say on what your ethicnicity is. Like for example. Im korean but ppl tell me I look Japenese. Like since most asians know like what ethicnicity other asians are they usually know w/o asking but no offense like non-asians can't really tell the difference like the only thing they can think of is chinese.

Like when I was growing up ppl only asked if I was chinese, cause that was like the only asian group they knew. Once I told someone I was korean and they were like korean whats that? blink.gif Couldn't even talk to the person hahah

Last year me and my mom were at the mall and this white lady like knew we weren't speaking japenese but she said I looked japenese b/c of my face shape, and I was like crazy.gif okay b/c my face is just round and flat, literally and also the other day these little kids were like what are you? and I was like korean duh, so they were like oh we thought you were japenese and I was like really, not even chinese? and they were like no. so I was like okayyyyyy.. hhah

just curious on what other ppl say you look like, like what non-asians think you are and what asians think sweatingbullets.gif seriously I came up with this like while I was brushing my teeth right now sweatingbullets.gif phew.gif okayyyyyyy thats just a little TOO much info ahhah biggrin.gif

BUt also like should I be offended when ppl say that I look Japenese even though Im korean, b/c of the whole thing on Japan ruling korea and abusing us and etc?

I'm Korean, but sometimes people think I'm a mix between White and Korean.

I think it's my unusual height and some western facial features.

Most people assume I'm mixed - half Chinese/half European usually.

People think I'm Korean; Even koreans themselves. I'm chinese, though.

Everyone says it's my hair that makes me look korean O_o;
not one expression on that face, would ever give her game away

People.. somehow can't tell what ethnicity I am.
I was talking with my friends today, &we asked each other what ethnicity did you think the other person was when you first met them?
When peopel told me what they thought I was.. most of them said, they couldn't tell.
I'm chinese.. though >W<
Yeah, I'm wierd.. I look different fromt he rest of my family..

people i've just met always have a hard time figuring out my ethnicity. most of the time...

japanese think i'm japanese

viets think i'm viet

chinese think i'm chinese

thai think i'm thai

& so on...as far as asians go.

i'm full korean & most koreans i've just met just can't figure out what i am.

I'm Chinese/Indonesian/Taiwanese ...NOTHING korean. Yet everywhere I go people assume I'm Korean. Doesn't make sense to me...I don't see it o.O
