[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did see a Filipino lady give a Hispanic woman the death stare when she spoke completely in Spanish to her[/quote]
lol..  Some of them do look Hispanic. I grew up in SoCal with many of them, and of course, many have Spanish blood (and last names). I dated a Filipino a long time ago.

My sister gets mistaken for Hispanic or Filipino sometimes; she has darker skin and features that look  more Filipino rather than east Asian.

I get mistaken for all manner of different Asian ethnicities.  Other Asians come up to me and speak to me in their native language all the time, from when I was in college (a professor) to recently when I was in an Asian grocery store. Some lady kept looking at me, and then finally got up the nerve to ask me something in her native tongue. I think she was trying to figure out if I was the same ethnicity as her.

I don't get offended.  Even people of my own ethnicity don't realize I am of that ethnicity and speak about me right in front of me in that language. I get a kick out of making a comment in English to them about what they were saying.[/quote]
