What race do ya'll get mistaken for the most?

I think replacing race with ethnicity would of made for a more interesting thread. That said, some people think im Jamaican.
 
Im puertorican.. But i have light eyez. im light complexion and Im from brooklyn so the accent comes into play. Usually mistaken for Italian.

ever since i was a baby ive looked somewhat asain, i have similiar features as both my parents but i am still the only one in my family that gets confused for something different.

its hilarious when people try and guess my ethinicity, my friends make a game out of it. and its extra funny when im helping hispanic customers and i start speaking spanish, they totally freak out and ask "wow where did you learn to speak spanish that well?" "uhh.. its actually my first language" haha
Same here, all that has happened to me,I though I was the only one. Born in Mexico City and 100% Mexican, but only on a rare occasion will peoplespeak to me in Spanish.

I remember ordering something at Mickey D's in English and I noticed the lady taking my order (she was Hispanic) was having trouble understating what I wassaying, so I started to speak Spanish and the lady was startled. What's weird though is that she still asked, "will that be all", and, "thatwill be $__" in English, in my head I was like, "I just spoke fluent Spanish to you with no accent, why are you trying to talk to me inEnglish".
 
i'm japanese. mistaken for mexican many times, american indian a few times. indonesian once.
