I always get "OMG ARE YOU KOREAN OR japanese?" when really, i'm just an ordinary Viet. --"

haha why do u say "ordinary viet"? its not like korean, japanese or any other race is extra-ordinary. You're not ordinary, everyone's special

[Junanni]

most of the time people mistake me for korean or japanese. I'm Chinese but then i work at CVS where a lot of asian people come in and they try to speak to me in Korean. It's either my name (nametag) or something about my face lol

[packet85]

im chinese but im mistaken to be japanese ( i still get a lot of Arigato greetings at the airports LOLz) or korean ( i was reading some korean newspapers at the library once and a lady came up to me and greeted me Annyonghaseyo and i was like... uh.. im just going through the entertainment section, LOLz)

[Maia-X3]

I get mistaken for Filipino a lot... even by non-asians. People also start talking to me in Tagalog... I'm like... O_________o.

[tifachan]

^Tagalog. Sounds cute. XD

People thought I was Filipino for being a TAN Chinese person. x__X

[BAN`CHAN]

ppl always say i look chinese but they always think i'm mandarin (i'm cantonese)..
once when i went to Italy, these men tryign to sell something to us thought i wa japanese

[Aerolite]

I'm full Filipino, but my parents are from a different province than most of the Filipinos here. I have a very light skin tone compared to others, many many people think I'm eurasian.

Here's an actual list of things I've been called:
Hawaiian-French
Italian
Indonesian
Spanish-Filipino
White-Japanese

There are others that I can't remember but it's really interesting to see what some people come up with!

[msh.l.on]

everyone thinks i'm japanese.
even japanese people.

[applebaby]

I'm chinese & people have mistaken me as ..korean, japanese & filipino.

[tinkerbell-yi]

what do i look without looking me up!

[-s2dOngwan]

asians especially chinese know that i'm korean saying that i have a typical korean face,,

koreans say i dont look korean

whites say i look asian, but they cant figure out which nash. haha they obviously cant tell asian countries apart.

i guess koreans have the typical flat, round face..

but i still think koreans are the prettiest asian country YAY



(no offence,, just being proud of being korean )

[infinity]

I've been called most asian races, but I guess I look chinese the most. Well, I am chinese.

[Lo0k iSh StaCy]

i'm half vietnamese and half taiwanese and people mistaken me as japanese...even my mom said i look like japanese

[urbanature]

I get Chinese a lot...which is pretty much right. I'm Chinese/Viet. XD I rarely get Vietnamese guessed though, and most of the time people guess Japanese because my eyes don't really look Chinese.

[im` l0vEd]

ppl say i look korean or filipino or hk.

definitely not. hahahaaa.

[Milkfed.]

most korean people mistake me for being japanese until i say something in korean to prove to them i'm not.
but caucasion people always ask me if i'm chinese.

[AngelxHolic]

I get mistakened for Korean, even though i'm filipino.
^--lol, just happened to me the other day actually.

I don't get offended though.
But sometimes i get annoyed when some random girl comes up to and is like "what are you?"
then i'd lie and say "I'm black, of course." XD

[xthefluffyonex]

People always mistake me for Indian or Spanish (more Spanish though), even though I'm Pakistani. I don't look spanish at all. Koreans and non-asians tell me I look Spanish, I've even had a few non-asians speak to me in Spanish. Some non-asians who know I'm not spanish mistake me for Indian, which I could understand because no one really recognizes the other countries it seems. I think only one asian guy knew my ethnicity.
