What ethnicities do you get mistaken for?

I am mainly talking here to the non-white/west asian/ South Asian people here, but if it white u can join as well. I get mistaken from pakistani to Italian, sometimes Jewish, afghan, Syrian, and even Saudi and Egyptian sometimes because I have a medium tan/olive skin with an ambiguous face.

I don't remember being mistaken for any ethnicity. Although, people passed me as Croatian.

Thanks. I went to Turkey last time and most people conversated in Turkish with me so I suppose I pass for Turkish as well.

Ok lol, serious answer is I’ve been mistaken for every brown ethnicity from Pakistani to Syrian to Turk.

I'm light skinned so people guess New Zealand European, but I'm postive that's because most of them just have little to no experience with West Asians / MENA. The somewhat better guesses would be Jewish.

None, since I live in a more or less monoethnic environement where the largest minority is racially distinct. Abroad, people simply ask where I'm from, nobody ever made any assumptions.
