    Eh well yeah, some people do mistaken me for a Japanese. I'm 100% Chinese as well. But I'm never mad. I'm just like..."No... Chinese." I have a friend who always is like, "So when you speak Japanese..." ..."No... Chinese"
    Although... one time... it was really stupid. I was talking to some guy, and he goes, "So are you white?" I'm like, "what?" It was... really weird. But then again I was talking to him over MSN... I guess... my skin colour could have... looked... lighter? I don't know. But I don't usually get mad.

    Some people have mistaken me sometimes for a chinese person..but mostly Cambodian..

    I've heard that it's like that the other way around as well..Cambodians being mistaken for Filipinos and such..

    I'm Chinese and usually people only mistake me for Korean or Japanese if I'm in a Korean bar or J-town or something.
