^What's even better is if you claim to be black, and be fervent about it.

^ haha this is a little OT but back in college I knew this girl that was half black and half hispanic..
The only issue was that she was very fair skinned, so she looked completely hispanic. Until she opened her mouth. she had a total american black dialect. It turns out she was raised solely by her black mom.
Needless to say her pet peeve was that every hispanic person (especially in L.A.) would talk to in Spanish, until she had to correct them...

Depends on what you mean by 'Eurasian'. BTW, doesn't Eurasia exclude all of the Europe and the Asian contients? Anyways, by that sense, like at least 75% of the world's population is considered Eurasian (i.e. living on the giant Eurasian contienent'. If you mean by Eurasian in appearance I would definitely never be mistaken for a Eurasian as I have 'super-Mongoloid' looks.

Yeah, at my last job, I dealt with a lot of Middle Eastern people. More than once, I was asked "Are you from Afghanistan?"
I've got a friend who's half Turkish, half Russian. A very nice combination if I do say so myself. However, before I knew of her heritage, I would've guessed that she was Greek.

I get mistaken for mexican all the time (not sure why, to be honest). I also get Hawaiian and Italian (again, not sure why) but the weirdest thing that I am mistaken for: Mullato (sp?)!

I've been living in China for 7 mo & i'm often mistaken for a "xinjiang ren", a person from xinjiang province which borders a whole lot of the Stans. I posted some photos of the place in the globetrotter forum. Up in Xinjiang it's like the mythical homeland for Eurasians because there you do pretty much look like a local, and that's what the locals thought I was.....apart from the Western clothing and my build (I haven't set foot in a gym for 7mo but I'm still a monster compared to the locals . Back home in New Zealand I'm pretty much always assumed to be half Maori or half Polynesian. Until I tell them otherwise, to all the polynesians I meet I'm a "bro" or a "cuz". The polynesians originally came from someplace around southeast asia so half polynesians/europeans look a little eurasian. As it stands, in NZ I think I'm a european to the europeans and a polynesian to the polynesians. Once I tell the asians i'm half Chinese, I'm an asian to the asians! I've got the best of every world.....but at the same time don't completely fit any of them....doomed to wander across a cultural desert of life like Kwai Chang Caine in Kung Fu.........

What about slavic people? are they kind of eurasian?
I see many polish women that have eurasian traits: eyes, cheekbones, etc. Just that they often have lighter hair and eyes, but the rest looks kind of asianish.

I guess they would fall under the cateogory of Eurasian if that were extended to anyone of both European and EA descent.
