What ethnicity are you?

Chinese l0l proud too :victory:

Filipina, baby! W/ a lil bit of Chinese mixed in there

Well i'm japanese born in america, but i was adopted by white ppl.. so i'm like a weird hybrid of redneck japanese..... plus i live in Texas....

Somebody asked Tiger Woods what race he is, and he answered "Human" :applaud:

I am a thoroughbred Singapore born Chinese.... :hehe:

Nationality:American. Texan born and raised-but I live in the biggest city int he state and the 4th largest city in the country so I don't ride a horse to school or whatever. I'm very guilty of saying "ya'll" though. I can't help it.

Ethnicity:Filipino/Caucasian mix

hehe me too! one of my professor tried to guess what i am, he mentioned all asian types except filipino

Omgosh, I get that a lot, too!! One time someone asked me if I was Hawaiian. Then this other guy asked me if I was "Filipinese." Oh, my.

i'm half english half japanese but i have been asked if i'm from new zealand! :headscratch:
when the rugby world cup was on a few years ago i walked into a pub full of guys wearing england shirts. when they saw me some shouted out 'spy! keep quiet'. it was done in good humour though. :hehe:

...

English/Scottish here!

Good answer :hehe: :rofl: . They should have asked what nationality or ethnicity he is instead of "race" :beaten:

Wow I had no idea that everybody here was so diverse. Especially sooooo many mixed. Wow. I personally thinked mixed ppl look soooo cool.

I am Chinese-Canadian. Went to college in the States and am currently on a study abroad in England.

People usually think I'm korean tho (as in fellow asians) or Chinese and occassionally Japanese. But this summer I went to the beach a lot in Cali and has a pretty dark tan and now everybody asks if I'm thai or malaysian :sweat: I find it amusing.

Wow, that's a new one to me. :hehe:

German American here

In the Central Valley, there's a big populace of Hmong people. I have been thought of as one once..

Anyway, I'm a majorly a Filipina with an eighth of Spanish blood that doesn't show at all... :hehe:

I'm Japanese-American but my ethnicity is a question to me. As long as I can remember, coworkers, friends, strangers, doctors and my dentist have always asked me the same question - Are you Hapa (mixed)? I've even gotten this from complete strangers - You not Portuguese are you? Mixed? And I always reply...No. I'm pure, 100% Japanese. Why? These are the answers I usually get:

Your eyes are too light and too round for you to be Japanese.
When you're out in the sun, your eyes look almost hazel.

From doctors (and even just recently - my hairdresser here in Glasgow): Your cranial bone structure is different from Asians (I looked it up...there is a difference but not one that I can feel for myself...I don't know).

From my dentist in Hawaii - Your teeth are "funny-kine shape". You Hapa or what? He went on to explain the differences between Asian teeth and Caucasian teeth.

My ancestors are from Yamaguchi and Kumamoto - long known for it's history of Dutch, Portuguese and other foreign sailors and missionaries living amongst the Japanese people there for centuries.

When I look at actresses like Sawajiri Erika and one more (I forgot her name), and how strongly they pulled on their Japanese side, I often wonder about myself.

For now, I just find it amusing. I'm 100% Japanese. :victory:

Chinese.

Native Filipino - Palawan or Palawenyo
