To me blacks in Africa looks all the same LoL and I can see the diferences between asian races. So maybe it´s just a point of view LoL.

RE: Don't you hate it when people try to figure out your race?

haha...people always ask me what my ethnic background is. even the people who have the same ethnic background as me. many people think i'm: mexican, latino, korean, chinese [because of my eyes], cambodian, vietnamese; or mixed: black & some asian background [because i'm naturally dark]. this one person even thought that i was just BLACK. haha...now that i think about it, i think all of my friends NOW thought that i was a different race [at least one of the above mentioned] before they even got to know me. but oh well, everybody judges, right?

RE: Don't you hate it when people try to figure out your race?

I'm white and asian. A mutt. Sooo everyone likes to guess my race. And they all go hispanic. -__-' I have no clue how I look hispanic. I think it is more because of where I grew up. I tend to act a bitt ghetto ><' So maybe that is why they think I'm hispanic. IDK.

The race part is easy. It's the nationality that can get people confused sometimes.

RE: Don't you hate it when people try to figure out your race?

Yes i absolutely hate it and find it funny at the same time. People look at me and they assume that I'm a Torres Strait Islander.. but then they're like no wait you have chinky eyes...Are you Filipino? Umm no. Spanish Mexican? Huh - WTF? I'm Cambo Viet..lol
