What do you get mistaken for?

I get mistaken for being Arab or Afghan which is really flattering but I've been called Indian and Mexican (like how?) before but I'm a British Pakistani, born and raised in England. Hby?

Why would it be flattering to be mistaken for a certain ethnicity lol?

I think I've done that before, I think I've blatantly told someone they were too dark to be Arab (I was much younger and naive)

Oh wow..

I am half Irish and half Pakistani, born and raised in England. When I am in Pakistani communities people tend to think im either Arab or Pathaan. Most commonly though people assume I am Italian or Spanish. To date no one has ever guessed correctly.

WELLL they used to call her ling ling, and then they stopped for a while and now they called her 'sweatshop' and 'ching Chong chang'. Lmao. She lets them say it because she always has some fire in her response :lol:
