i lied a couple of time of beeing a japanese. the europeans treat the japanese much better. i m very lucky until now as no european i met could speak japanese.
YES! by some old american guy who accused me of bombing his friends at pearl harbour! i tried to tell him i was chinese but....
u no how u mistake an indian for another indian i guess thats how it is for us asians all asians look alike well most of them , nd iguess that person is trying to be smart, or that person jus think u look japp
I was at subways telling him waht i want on my sandwich and all of a sudden he asks if i was japanese o.0
Whenever I go to another Asian country, they assume I'm one of them (Korea, Japan, Taiwan, China)--when I'm really a mix of a bunch of stuff. ahahahaha.
was home (China) two-three years ago and many though I was a "half-breed". They said it was because my (big) nose and chinese people don't have big noses
i'm taiwanese, but have worked in several different japanese restaurants and people assume that i'm japanese all the time. although i agree with others that say non-asians have a hard time distinguishing the different asian ethnicities.
I've been mistaken for Japanese, but mostly Korean, although I don't look at all Korean or Japanese. I'd agree that non-Asians have a hard time distinguishing but then again I can't distinguish European ethnicity at all unless they talk to me and then maybe I can narrow it down.
don't get this problem, cos ppl normally think if ur asian then ur chinese regardless its proven that it is easier to ditinguish two ppl from ur own race than two ppl that arent
I agree with bobbylee. Might I add that the number of Chinese people around the world is pretty massive, so assuming that someone's at least part-chinese is the first safe assumption to make. That is of course unless the involved person is walking around in another country... like Japan or Vietnam. As for myself, I rarely get mistaken as Japanese instead of Chinese. Mainly because of the fact that every third sentence I say involves Cantonese of some sort, and because I look pretty different from the general expectation of what Japanese men should look like. =[
yeah i been mistake as Korean several times. I don't know how people think so, i even asked a girl who said that, her response was the skin.
me too people confused that i am japanese when i am chinese. seem like we look like japanese more than chinese
