No one ever guesses that I'm 1/2 filipino. What do you think?

Varies on situation... With Asians, most will assume im half-Viet or Filipino, and for the rest that initially think i am full asian, usually believe me after i tell them i am mixed. (but ironically i would be lying if i told them i was half-asian cause im technically not ) With Whites, 90% will assume im full east asian or if not Filipino ... Indonesian/Thai or even Hawaiian which is pretty ignorant in Australia. But i love saying 'aloha' so i dont care. The odd white has speculated me being "part wog" which means Italian/Greek for those unfamiliar with aussie slang. This is the only picture (ived used as a sig before) where white friends have actually said they think i look part-white.Being 5/8 Asian, 3/8 White, i'll generally be seen as more Asian by whites and mixed or asian by asians. It is nice when people tend to see me as human being though. WOW. Seriously, that is like the story of my life. I cannot tell you how many times people have asked me if I was filipino. Even filipino people think I am filipino. A lot other Asians (I'd say about 70%) can see I'm not full, though I have gotten a few weird questions. I usually just get asked though. I did have a Cuban ex-fling that I met on a retreat who swore up and down that I was Cuban and lying to him. Annoyed me pretty fast. Too bad. He was cute. I've also gotten a few Brazilian guesses. When asked why, they tell me they think I'm one of those Japanese Brazilians. Most Eurasians think I look Asian (I concur with this). //EDIT: Wanted to add that I am the same mix of Asian and White as you. So it really is the story of my life!

A patient asked me if I was 3/4 Norwegian and 1/4 asian, and a spanish guy on the internet thought I looked 3/4 spanish and 1/4 native american, lol.
Among other weird stuff people assume, hehe. hilarious.

I most people tend to think I'm latina, like columbian etc. I met a Cuban friend of mine in a café because he wondered if I was mixed like him - he thought I was a mulatta.
In Thailand people think I'm Indian or Eurasian.
I think I look Asian.

Everytime i go to Asian shops, they speak to me in Chinese& speaks very fast, i've got no idea what is going on....... When I go to Korea, they call me a "foreigner", walking in Russian streets with my bf (who is totally white and blond) they think i am a Tatar or from Kazakstan or so..... Only place i feel local is in Latin America, as long as i speak in spanish or portuguese, none knows what I am...... Got blue eyes, some Asian features on my face and has Latina's body shape, basically got Medium Ivory skin colour......... Had people asked me if i were from .........bla bla, but not a lot of them ever think i am Euriasin plus Latina ..... Life is so

i am half chinese and half white (english, scotch-irish, german, french) BUT i get MExican, filipina, and hawaiian (when i have a decent tan) when people find out i am half and half, they think i look more asian with makeup, more white without.

I look more white nowadays, I look nothing like I did when I was a kid.
went from filipino looking, to vietnamese (yellower skin), now my facial features are trimming towards a european bone structure.
