Well, considering that I'm the whitest white girl ever...no.
 I'm of almost 100% Western European descent.

All the time. Everybody thinks I'm Hispanic, Native American, Greek or Middle Eastern.

I'm Chinese but apparently I "look" Korean. Everyone thinks my older sister is Japanese. It's so funny when people randomly come up to and
start babbling away in some foreign language then ask you after what your heritage is.

I live in South Florida and I definitely look Cuban, so no.
I'm curious to see where people from other states would think I'm from, though. |

People get me allllll wrong
I can't blame them though. My mom has blonde hair, green eyes, pale skin, and is Polish/Italian. My dad has brown hair, brown eyes, olive/tan skin, and is from Peru. People either swear I am white, can notice some hispanic in me, think I look hispanic, or think I am Native American

People always assume I'm Irish since I'm pale with freckles but I have a lot of Native American on both sides of my family. My parents and 1 of my
brothers got the nice skin tone while the rest of us are pale as ghosts.

I've been asked is I was Polynesian, West Indian, Indian, and Native American before. But I'm none of those things.

People think I'm either Dominican or mixed, but I don't consider myself mixed because only my grandparents were ha. IDK here's the breakdown:
Maternal Grandmother: Mostly Black and a little Irish descent Maternal Grandfather: Dutch/Irish/N.A. (He swears he has no black but I disagree. He wishes) Paternal Grandmother: Creole (French and African American) She was reaally fair and could probably pass as a white woman Paternal Grandfather: Haitian and who knows what else. He was not dark and had nice hair. |

I am (thru dad) Scot-Irish with a bit of Native American and (thru mom) Japanese. I get mistaken for either Italian or Mexicans. I also have freckles, so I
look a bit more weirder. For those who are more observant, they always gotta ask: "Are you Oriental?" I have no idea what that even means, but it
pissed the hell out of my mother.

I've gotten Filipino, Hispanic/Mexican, Persian, but mostly it seems that I appear of unknown origin because several people just straight up ask me,
"what are you?"
 I am 3/4 Chinese and 1/4 Irish. Thanks for
the whiteness Larry Brown.
