~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm tall almost 5"8 and i am tan tho sweatdrop and my last name is soo chinese 3nodding and my eyes are pretty dark brown and i dont have accent tho... and thats a good thing 3nodding but i am chinese not filipino nor korean nor japenese!! CHINESE!!!

i guess that was an example ?

By my slightly chinky eyes, button nose?, and dark complexion usually. Well I'm not dark, but I have a slight perpetual tan. Maybe by my quiet humble demeanor as well. I'm usually shy and quiet at first, but I get friendlier by the second.

5'8"? Nice, I beat you by 3-4 inches. People usually just say I'm probably half because of height. Filipinos usually know I'm Filipino, but sometimes others think I'm vietnamese, then their second guess usually is korean. I have no idea why, maybe because korean's are so common.

edit 1: Korean's aren't so common around here.

surnames. skin, face structure. is how i differentiate....but i usually ask. xd

when it comes to people guessing my ethnicity....well....they never guess right the first time xd xd

Most people can tell that I'm Asian because of my eyes. I'm half-Korean and compared to most other Asians I've seen, my eyes are still Asian looking, but bigger and I have American facial features. I've usually been mistaken for being Chinese, but once I tell people I'm half-Korean, they like, "Oh! I see now!" blaugh Plus, I'm really short, but I kinda have a twinge of a southern accent... from my parents...they were raised in Tennessee and Kentucky... sweatdrop tee hee

Hahaha. This thread makes me think of when this guy in my French class started talking about how he can tell between different types of asians.


For me, I look at :
Eyes, skin color, and cheek bone structure.



//I've been mistaken for Chinese and Korean a lot [by other asians D: ]because I don't quite fit in the category of a typical Vietnamese person.

they dont bc even if i may be half filipino

i am a 6'6'' tall whitish guy lol

and when i say pinoi/pinoy pride people are all whats that so whats the point i know who i am and its fine if others dont heart  

[x.XDaRk_MeLeVoLeNceX.x]

people recognise me my my skin color and eyes because they're slanted and i'm not that tall either. Yay for being half japanese.

Eyes, last name, and when they speak.

As for me, people just simply guess by my appearance.
About 6 out of 10 get it wrong.  

[MeltingMilkBottle]

I look at the eyes, hair, body type and their accent.  

[ashlar01]

eyes, face structure, surname!

I'm a Filipina, and proud to be one! biggrin

How do people recognize my Asian ethnicity?

They don't, and then they insist on "correcting" me.

Maybe you all need to teach the people at my school something about Asian ethnicities. smile

PFFFFFFFT. i speak american. therefore i have an american accent.
AND to be more exact its predominately midwestern.

i'm sure lots of other asians out there don't have accents too. [=___=]
