When I go to Koreatown, they speak korean to me.
When I go to little tokyo, they speak japanese to me.
My mother said that when I was small people called me a little japanese girl
Now my mother thinks I look Korean

Its probably because of my wide face.

so.. i'm just curious.. wot ethnic r u?

People think I'm Japanese.

Like in school.

The people in my church said that I look Japanese, as well.....and my Korean friend says that I don't look Korean.

They say that my hair makes me look like it and my face...my hair highlighted orange and blond...with some black streaks....

O_O How does highlighting your hair make you look Japanese?

Anyways, this girl at church said that I look like I'm a litlle bit of American. I am, but I think she was trying to say I look a little bit like I'm white...she hasn't been in America very long...I think that's why she got mixed up...but I don't look partially white....but I have like 10 freckles my face....that's all.

Er...and perfectinvasions, are you saying that asians have wide faces? Just asking..but I don't really think that asians have wide faces...but that's just myb opinion....

I was once called a Chinese/Mexican OoO. Other than that they guess partly correct considering I'm Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, and Thai. Most people say I look mostly Korean/Japanese though =P

I'm viet, but lots of people ask me if I'm phil, or chinese. Then it goes to japanese/korean. One guy asked me if I was Taiwanese.

A hispanic guy walked up to me and said, "Are you hispanic?"

...Like when I was growing up ppl only asked if I was chinese, cause that was like the only asian group they knew...

HAAHAHAHAH I totally feel your pain man!
In grade 8 everybody was like "what are you?" and I'd be like "guess" and they were all "chinese?" AHAHAHAHAH and korean would always be the last suggestion or I'd have to tell them I'm korean.
Strange thing is korean people think I'm not korean or they think I'm half. (When I'm 100% korean)
Jeez talk about being an outsider LOLS

People have mistaken me for being Japanese, this one girl in Hong Kong thought I was a mixed blood race [half Caucasian, half Chinese] but i honestly don't look mixed at all.

I'm Chinese btw.

People say I look Hispanic but I have no clue where they get that from.
I get a lot of people who just come and start speaking Spanish to me. It's weird.
I'm half German and half Black by the way.
