Do you get mistaken for other ethnicities/race?

[Kivan]

In real life, never.
Here in this forum, as Croatian and Hungarian.

Btw, i remember you said people in the USA would assume i was Italian-American, if i'm not wrong.

Judging by your pictures I’ve seen, the average American probably would lol

I've got mistaken for Italian, Spanish and Brazilian where I live while in college I also got German

On the other hand I've also got mistaken as some sort of Balkan which I find offensive since Balkan people where I live are basically disrespectful monkeys. Not only that but I remember an incident when a bartender mistaken me for a Bulgarian who was hitting on his GF
I - WAS - PISSED

on this forum, "ze" Russians often call me Vasilyi

and one of TA classifiers compared me to Medvedev - Russian PM

[Erronkari]

I’ve had someone accuse me of not being European lol.

I get told I look all sorts of things from Southern European to Levantine, Indian and even Latina which I don’t mind at all I think it’s cool. But to go as far as claiming me to be lying about my actual ethnicity is rather irritating.

I still think that if I would see you in the street anywhere in US or in Europe I would think you are french of of french ancestry.

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?

If you have that stereotypical Midwest Germanic look to you than it's quite understandable. Aren't people from New York very often of Jewish & Italian origin and having some of the darkest white population of US?

What would they assume in my case? Would I be standard White American, or not?
