Do people get your race/ethnicity right or wrong?

I'm Polish but I've been mistaken for a Russian, German, Brazilian and Dutch in real life.

The Dutch is only because idiots don't know the difference between Poland and Holland.

Russian, I'm not surprised 'cuz their both Slavic and people who aren't familiar the languages and surnames of the country can easily make that mistake. The only thing I thought was moronic was when I went to Turkey, the locals automatically assumed if I'm White, I must be Russian.

And German again just stems from a lack of ignorance of the region.

And Brazilian was only in Chile. I honestly don't know where the fuck they got the idea that I'm Brazilian, but I had so many people in Chile assume I'm Brazilian and start talking to me in Portuguese.

What does Brazilian people look like?

[KostasKouvalis]

That's the thing, they don't have a particular look as Brazil is a multiethnic society. There are indigenous, blacks, Portuguese, German, Polish, Italians

[Asker]

I asked because people mistake me as Brazilian sometimes too but people always mistake me as south Asian.

[KostasKouvalis]

And what are you?

[Asker]

White, black, Puerto Rican, and Mexican

[KostasKouvalis]

Oh damn. I'm not surprised they mistook you for what they mistook you for

[Asker]

Me too

[OlderAndWiser]

I’ve been mistaken for Filipino before and had Filipino guys hit on me. I’m Chinese.

[Asker]

Girl Filipino people are brown you are not brown.

[Booklover_90]

Sometimes. Some people have assumed that I’m Latina, but I’m not.

[Asker]

What are you then?

[Booklover_90]

I’m black.

[Asker]

I don’t know people are weirdos people think I’m south Asian and I’m not Indian.

People have told me I look Slavic even though I am from the UK. I have done an ancestry dna test before. I have no Slavic blood in me. I am totally English, welsh, and Irish according to the test I did.

[Asker]

And then when you get offended they call you racist but are they the racist ones to get your race mistaken.

It doesn’t offend me being called Slavic but people writing shit like this online does offend me.

Are British women the ugliest women in Europe? ↗

Why are British women stereotyped as 'ugly'? ↗

Why are British people so ugly? ↗
The UK is quite a multicultural place right now. You can’t actually know a persons ethncity just but looking at them. A person with a British last name born in Britain could also have German or French ancestry dna in them as well.

All ethnic British women don’t look the same. Keira is very British in terms of ethncity and commonly thought of as pretty by others.

How would you rate the physical attractiveness of Keira? ↗
