+1 y‘That Italian guy’ 😆
The whole East African shore line. I’ve gotten, Djibouti, Somalia, Eritrea, Ethiopia.
I get Indian when I straighten my hair. One lady said I was Brazilian and I told her the only thing Brazilian would be this ass I’m trying get monies for. 🫣I’m not any of those nationalities.

+1 yYes I have. I was working on a project in London and was staying for a month at The Barbican Hotel. I tend to adopt the language and accent of wherever I am, and always said hello to the woman at the front desk when I passed her. One day, I needed to do something official and handed her my US passport. "You're American?" she asked. "I thought you were British!" I just smiled.

+1 yIn real life, mostly Russian and Dutch and German a few times. I'm Polish
That's actually hilarious because I've thought this entire time that you're Italian as well. I think it's because your username is "Dolemite"

Dolemite is a funny old movie about a pimp that does karate 😂
+1 yI’m mixed so all the time. I’m half Japanese and half a bunch of white European stuff and my nationality is American. However, I’ve gotten Hispanic, Latina, full white, mixed Hispanic and white, and some can tell just by looking at me that I’m mixed with some country in Asia but don’t know what.

40 Reply688 opinions shared on Other topic. yea, many times. for reference i'm 100% white, and usually people thought i was some other flavor of white, usually something slavic like polish or russian, or german. when i would make my eyebrows a lot darker and thicker (tragic makeup stage) would get italian often. also was asked back then if i was from india or the middle east... which i really dont get...

Anonymous(45 Plus)+1 yI took one of those Facebook quizzes where you submit a pic and it tries to guess you nationality. And it guessed me as Egyptian. I was pretty tanned in the pick so I'm guessing that's why. Because I'm a pasty white guy of mostly Scottish and English descent

I forgot to answer the Q.
Yes I was always mistaken for being Asian while growing up. It’s only now at this point in my life that people don’t confuse me anymore. I think I look the same but after braces I think my eyes did open and turned more round than they were squinty before
Same dude people think I’m Italian and I’m 0% Italian
