i work at a restaurant, so i get to see a lot of people. and most of them think i'm filipino because of my darker skin color and supposedly bigger eyes (i don't think they're really that big). but i've gotten a lot of others like vietnamese, indonesian, INDIAN, WHITE, MEXICAN, lol... but i'm actually chinese.
What ethicnicity do ppl say you look like? curious question

person:okay, chinese?
me:no.
person:japanese?
me:no.
person : vietnamese?
me:no.
person:then....what are you?
me:korean.
person: korean?what's that?
lol. they just throw out all the asian ethnicities they know.. U.U and then the really ignorant ones start speaking to me like "shanudjsda;fieufh" to see if it means anything in korean. o.o

i get a lot of people asking if i am korean,
but occasionally japanese, or chinese.
i guess i don't look specific enough.
i'm half chinese, so i can understand the chinese part.
but since i don't know my other half, who knows maybe i am part korean or japanese.

I have always been mistaken being a philipine. But I'm chinese!
I think it's probably because my skin is darker than a normal chinese person.

people ALWAYS ALWAYS(i think i've lost count..) mistaken me as Korean(mostly) or Japanese(only among Japanese people)
I only get Japanese among thai ppl and Japanese
I only get korean around koreans and other asian race
Some Korean think Im chinese(rare)
They never reach thailand for some reason when they keep guessing is like "are you korean japanese chineses taiwanese..phillipines Oo(they give me that eye lol).." and then they quit
I've had this thing over and over...this korean kid at my school calls my noona...I was like Oo'''''
well when I was younger ppl thought i looked Japanese , but when I got older ppl assume that Im Korean
when I get sick of it(annoyed) "Im just yea I'm korean"
I'm thai/chinese :]...

People say i look white, but that's derogatory, i'm Caucasian.

Hm, people would say I looked Japanese or something of that matter,
but I came to the conclusion that maybe they didn't know what they were saying.
In actuality, I'm Filipino Vietnamese. Haha.
