It’s normal for brown people to be mistaken as other brown people, yes.

In all reality though, people are best at recognizing their own ethnicity.

[Asker]

I beg to differ because it be your own people who be mistaking you for another race too.

I'm Indian here in the US. To get into college I pretended to be lgbtq Hispanic, other indians I know pretended to be Muslim and African American.

[Asker]

Why?

[Opinion Owner]

Indians and East Asians face discrimination when applying to college.

[Asker]

That's crazy

[Opinion Owner]

Wrong kind of minority because we test very high

[MementoMori777]

Yes, that shit pisses me off tbh 😂

[BeMuse]

Nope.

[Asker]

People think that I'm indian explain that to me

[BeMuse]

As in Red Dot Indian? If so are you Guatemalan, because they tend to be darker in complexion like many Indians or possibly a darker Cuban? That said, Indians from India often seem like they have eye bulge to me. That seems to be a very common characteristic on the Indian subcontinent that you don't really see in Latin Americans unless they are actually Indian like the ones that migrated to places like Trinidad and Tabago.

[Asker]

None of those are characteristics of what I look like.

[Asker]

I'm Puerto Rican and Mexican

[Asker]

I'm not really dark and not fair skin either. I'm a tan color.

[BeMuse]

No idea then because I've never seen a Mexican or Puerto Rican that looks Indian.

[Asker]

Well that's stupid how some people think that I am something that I am not even take ancestry test and it doesn't say anything that is from the continent India.

[BeMuse]

As an example this girl is a mix of Indo-Trubadadian (Indian) and Puerto Rican. I can see the Indian traits in her face. To me she looks Indian. She doesn't look Puerto Rican.

[BeMuse]

*Indo-Trinidadian

OK so you have a similar skin tone to many Indians, but a little lighter and you have the roundish bulgy eyes with big eye lids. So I see where they are coming from on that, but your your nose shape, face shape, philtrum, and basically entire lower jaw makes you look more Mexican in my opinion.

[Iron_Man]

No it’s not

[Asker]

Well you do it

[Iron_Man]

Lol how do I do it?

[Asker]

Because you had mistaken someone on here on being something their not.

[Iron_Man]

Who lol

[Asker]

Me you thought I was Indian a long time ago maybe an year or two.

[Iron_Man]

Well, if you did, and if I said, that isn’t that a nice compliment?

[Asker]

Because you just lied in the comments and said no

[Iron_Man]

I have no idea what you’re talking about. How did I lie two years ago was a long time ago if I said something like that, I was probably thinking that you looked Latin stop trying to trick me.

[Asker]

I'm talking about you said no to the question I've asked because you do get it confused with sorted people.

[Iron_Man]

I’m confused now because I hardly had any sleep last night anyway it’s not a big deal it all depends what you look like it doesn’t matter if you’re Indian or Latin or white or Jewish or wherever you are what you are
