[quote=Anonymous]When I used to live in NYC, I was frequently mistaken for being Hispanic (I'm South Indian). It was worse when I was in school because my closest friends were Hispanic, and their friends all assumed I was one too, and my friends assumed that they were Indian. I was once waiting for a train in the subway, when a lady started speaking to me in Spanish. I said 'No habla espaniol', which was the extent of the Spanish I know. She gave me quite the lecture in English about respecting my heritage. My daughter passes for white. I have seen her in some doctors' charts as white, and have fairly consistently been asked if she's maybe wasian. She said that most of the people that ask her directly, ask her if she's Middle Eastern. An occasional person might ask if she's Italian. We're not really offended, by the way. Just find it amusing.[/quote]
