    Default Do you get mistaken for other ethnicities/race?

    Have you ever been mistaken for another ethnicity or possibly race?
    If so, do you find it offensive?

    Never been mistaken for another race, but I've been told I look everything from Icelandic to Italian before. Had a guy at university tell me I looked identical to his brother that was from Switzerland, and when I made a thread here asking for classifications, people told me I looked typical for an Irish, Norwegian, British and Northern Spanish person. I don't get offended by it, if anything I think it's cool having an air of mystery surrounding me.

    Agreed.
    Has anyone ever accused you of lying about your ethnicity though?
    That’s the only time I get offended.

    It's not offensive at all, it's awesome in my opinion.

    What were you called ?

    I have heard some wild guesses about myself as well. I have that regional face you know. I can pass in whole Iranian Plateau.

    I got asked in NYC "where in Europe did you come from" at Barney's NYC a couple years ago. I thought that was strange. Perhaps the midwest is an alien planet to these people?
