[versusme]

[Yakamashii]

A lot of people think I'm Chinese, or at least part Chinese. Probably because of my eyes...but I'm full Japanese! gonk

I don't know how a latina can look asian but people think I'm korean or japanese X_____X  

[peachy keem]

Yes.. Spanish.. I have a light tan skin tone, I guess. Also, some Spanish adults just up to me and start speaking in the language.

Chinese.. This one is a stereotype guess.
That's why I don't like my school. I'm 1 of 2 Asians in the junior class. stressed

Chinese, Japanese, once I got called North Korean... I was like, "...!! So close, but so faaaar.nowgetoutofmyface"

I also get asked, "Are you Chinese or Asian?"  

[I Have Moved]

HAHAHA I love answering this question.... :3

A Korean person once mistakened me for a Chinese person. Well actually, several did. O_o Well, OK, they were in a group, but oh well. xD I think they saw me fooling around saying random Chinese phrases. xD

Mm.. but a few Korean boys mistakened me for Chinese too.

Oh, and Chinese people mistaken me for Japanese. xD Lalala...

When I first met my friends, they said, "Konnichiwa!" to me hahaha, so I was like, "What the hell??" But then, it got all sorted out, but it took them a couple guesses to find out I was Korean. xD (They guessed Chinese after Japanese. O_o)

And for Japanese people... (I haven't met very many... well really, just one...) A friend of mine who was Japanese thought I was Japanese. xD HAHA! He thought I was one of him. :3

But then one day....

Japanese person: "-Insert random Japanese phrase here-"

Me: "What????"

Japanese person: "Don't you know Japanese?" <-- it sounded FOB. ^^

Me: "Heh... no. I'm Korean!" biggrin

Japanese person: "OH! OHHHH! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME!?"

Me: ";_; I thought you knew."

Japanese person: "NYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...." -Spazzes in a somewhat cute anime-ish way-

Yeah, he had no friends because he was new, so I was his only friend. xD Um.. just to clear things up a bit, I don't really care about Japanese people being "bad" or anything.... no I'm pretty much open-minded. xD

AS FOR AMERICANS/CANADIANS, or Caucasians or in the rude term, "whites" (I hate saying that. ;_; Sounds so racist...)

They think I'm Chinese or Japanese. Not that they can really tell the difference, but sometimes some people guess right...

My mom told me that when I was a baby, I looked Chinese, and my baby babbling sounded Chinese-ish. xD (Oooo did you know my hair color was blonde when I was born??? biggrin That's crazy!! My hair is brown though...)

Don't get me wrong... some people actually guessed right.

Afterall, I am full Korean. xD I look Korean. (Atleast I think so...)  

[CrazyDriver101]
