All you white people look alike (jk). I’m bi-racial (white and Mexican), but I get a lot of people thinking I’m Armenian or Persian. It doesn’t bother me, but its funny to see peoples’ reactions when you tell them what you actually are.
i have gone into BP gas stations and other places where arabs are owners and they ask me where i am from. i’ve been told i look puerto rican and arab. one close friend says i look like a cuban soccer player.
i am black.
I have been accused of looking like I am from a specific religious group many many times. not my religion.
I’ve been told I look like an alien!
@Babo That’s calumny, Babo. You look like a dream!
yes, i am mexican and costa rican and i get really dark which comes from my costa rican side but some people would ask if i were african american. but some people ask where im from when i speak spanish because costa rican spanish is different from mexican. i guess its more proper.
Stop telling me I’m Swedish!! I’m a brit with a Spanish great grandmother.
I mean, a Britano-American.
Sure, but that’s usually because they don’t know my country or what the people there look like.
I’m from the US, but I lived in Spain for year- everyone there thought I was French.
When I lived in France, people thought I was from England or Scotland.
I’m 3/4 Scottish and look it.. I got asked for directions in Edinburgh a few times.
