Do you ever get mistaken for ANOTHER nationality?? Vol. IM NOT BLACK!!!

[maddog345]

I usually get mistaken for being Trinidadian.

 

[datznasty]

I assume someone has pointed it out by now, but black is not a nationality. You are black AND Jamaican, because they are 2 seperate classification.

Its the exact opposite for me.

I usually get mistaken for some Hispanic ethnicity. I was even scolded by someone who thought I was Hispanic for "not learning my language" when shetried to talk to me in Spanish and I told her I didn't speak Spanish. I told her I did know a little Japanese! She looked at me like I was being adifficult. BTW-I'm 1/2 Japanese, about 3/8 Dutch and 1/8 Cherokee.

 

[queencitysneakerqueen]

All the time because apparently I have "good hair"

If I had a dollar for every time somebody asked if I was Arab... I'd have like 37 bucks. Works out well since a lot of the clubs here are owned by Arabs soI would get in easily. I also got a good deal on my truck's body work when I wrecked it because they thought I was Arab, too. I'm of Latin descent,though.

 

[gullydagreat]

i hear Dominican/ Cuban

black btw

 

[bravo]

around ethiopians they almost always get it right [if theres any habashas out there, i know yall know bout that passing head nod lol]

around black people, they think im african american, until i introduce myself (Yonas) then they start askin where im from

and as far as white people that i grew up with in sugarland, im pretty sure they think all black people are from the same country

 

[diplomat007]

Im Puerto Rican/Panamanian i get black all the time

 

[nikembejetta]

"Boy U Dominican?"

"What you mixed wit...Rican?"

"You got some Indian in you?"

Nope, 100% original.

 

[mben32]

Of course, there are LOTS of Black Panamanians.

Once again:

• Nationality is one thing (your country of origin)
• Ethnicity is another thing (Hispanic, Caribbean, etc)
• Race is something else (White, Black, etc).

The three are independent of one another. Why don't anyone get that?

 

[freezetag]

when im bored or just wanna talk some bs.

i tell people im black/brazilian.


but i look like Chad Johnson with locks...but people still buy it.

 

[wj4]

A lot of people think I'm flip and would speak Tagalog to me. And they would get mad when I tell 'em I'm not Filipino and can't understand whatyou're saying.

 

[i nasmatic i]

I always get mistaken for being Filipino when I'm Cambodian.

 

[vrp32tl]

People love to speak spanish to me for some odd reason. Que?

Ppl think I'm Latino

I'm very curious as to why "Hispanics" in the Carribean deny their African heritage. Not all do but it is very disturbing.

I am Afro-Cuban and Indian (West). I get mistaken for PR/DR or full Indian. People don't think I'm black because I have that "good hair".

"??!!

.... Sa passe!!! Git momo"

Stay off of Church Ave.
