Re: Do people mistake you for another race?
I've never been mistaken as another race then again people usually always ask me what race I am rather than make a guess
Re: Do people mistake you for another race?
It seems like some of you girls have seen each others' pictures. Why don't you post them here so we know what you are talking about.
No we don't post our pictures on forums. We have met each other in person.

Re: Do people mistake you for another race?
I have been told I look like a few races but I always respond with the correct one.
Re: Do people mistake you for another race?
Being in UAE, mostly Arab think I am from Yamen. One guy thought I was from Iran. Indians guess has been mostly correct. Other nationalities, never guess me correctly. They assume I must be from India coz there are many indians here
In Pakistan, being a Pathan living in Lahore, I always listen to one comment where ever I go and that is, “aap yahan ki nahin lagtheen.” :halo:

Re: Do people mistake you for another race?
they say, are you pakistani? im like what ... lol
Re: Do people mistake you for another race?
Worst part is when Pakistanis think you’re an Indian. 
Re: Do people mistake you for another race?
Why is it that bad? Indians are people too, no? I think it’s more annoying when you tell them you’re from Pakistan…and you get a “Where’s that at?”
Re: Do people mistake you for another race?
mostly hispanic , arabic/persian ( when colorful eye makeup on), Indian, Bangladeshi.. and once this desi aunty said, " Urdu aati hai? aap tou poori 'foreigner' laghti hain"
Re: Do people mistake you for another race?
I have been mistaken for other races! but then i correct them and proudly tell them im from Pakistan :)
Re: Do people mistake you for another race?
I have been mistaken for Hispanic at times but other than that...people always ask me about my ethnicity.
Then I have had desi people ask me if I am Pathan...I don't know if Pathans look different from the average Pakistani but that happens from time to time.

Never happened with me. rather when i tell i am from Pakistan, i see they get interested all of a sudden.
Happened many many times, that in a class, meeting, conferrence, party or any gathering , i am the only Pakistani. I get every one's attention and honestly i feel very good n proud. coz i get a chance to represent my identity.
Re: Do people mistake you for another race?
They often mistake me for being racist :)
