People at my job think I'm jewish??

[sailornyanko]

Apparently some people at my job seriously believed that over the span of the 11 months that they've known me, they seriously believed this whole time I'm jewish.

I've never verbally stated I'm jewish, in fact I've very vocally described that I'm mostly ethnically basque and irish.

My last name doesn't even remotely sound jewish. O_o''

Yet on a call night right before my vacations started a doctor and a fellow intern were heavily surprised I wasn't jewish. Another attending a while back said he always thought I was jewish even though I never specifically stated that at all because he says my face just looks.. jewish. :huh: One of the doctors said the prominent cheeckbones and apparently large nose are the culprits. Nobody has ever told me I had a large nose. :O

My university has tons of multimilionaire jewish students and they immediately know I'm not jewish.

Has anyone out there been confused like that?

[Shiroiyuki]

Yes. For a Mexican.

The old man was surprised and awed that I could both speak AND write in English. When I looked at him like he was nuts he went on to sputter things like, 'well, when you people cross the boarder you usually don't even know how to do one...let alone both' and 'can you read English, too?'

I've never been more insulted in all my life. He was sincerely impressed.

[fujyoshi]

thats so weird o_o ^ oh yea and shiro you shoulda told that tard to go screw himself /heh

[Trefellin]

Apparently some people at my job seriously believed that over the span of the 11 months that they've known me, they seriously believed this whole time I'm jewish.


Well, when you see pork on sale do you stop to ponder the moral dilemma?


My brother had a teacher that thought for a while that my siblings and I where all recent immigrants and didn't speak English.

[tenshi_a]

I've been a suspected Hawaiian, a Canadian Eskimo, Filipino, and Thai, before. -_-;

Genetically, I'm actually English-Chinese. So, er, hum, yeah.

I used to get people asking me that kind of thing a lot when I was in my early 20s. Really direct, really specific presumed ethnicity. It was weird.

Nowadays, it's usually more a case of people gingerly asking "if you don't mind be asking, where...?" rather than randomly guessing. :lol:

[DavenIII]

I get the opposite, it's constantly assumed that I'm NOT jewish, and I'm told jokes and some pretty terribly anti-semitic stories and jokes when I actually am.

not that I care what other people think to begin with, so I let them tell their story or joke and move along.

[Trefellin]

not that I care what other people think to begin with, so I let them tell their story or joke and move along.

You should tell them that you're Jewish just to see how they react.

[DavenIII]

You should tell them that you're Jewish just to see how they react.


that would create an awkward situation, I tend to try and avoid those with people I don't care about....but it would be funny to try it once with someone I knew I disliked.

[Victory]

@sailornyanko: No, that's never happened to me. As for mistaking other people, there was a person I worked with this semester and I didn't know he was an exchange student from France. Same thing with my lab partner last semester. (until it came up in conversation that is)

We have tons of students from all over the world at school so ethnicity is less important than if the student population was less diverse like it used to be. They have the old graduation pics from the fifties still up and it's all white guys. ><

Yes. For a Mexican.

The old man was surprised and awed that I could both speak AND write in English. When I looked at him like he was nuts he went on to sputter things like, 'well, when you people cross the border you usually don't even know how to do one...let alone both' and 'can you read English, too?'

I've never been more insulted in all my life. He was sincerely impressed. I thought you were from Michigan... shouldn't he be more worried about Canadian immigrants?

[DavenIII]

I thought you were from Michigan... shouldn't he be more worried about Canadian immigrants?

Canadian immigrants are good, all the do is bring Maple Syrup and Hocky skills :P j/k j/k.

[Bernard_Monsha]

I get mistaken for East Indian occasionally. I also get people asking me to find them stuff at whatever store I am in (Brown skinned people obviously must never shop at Neiman Marcus). I was also called a Prairie N***** by someone in New York :lol:

[Leader Desslock]

I've been mistaken for a Brit before, but given the pasty white skin, bad teeth and precise diction, that's understandable.

Ethnically, I'm never mistaken for French-Canadian, which is odd, since that's what I am.

[The Million Dollar Prons]

Sailor Nyanko isn't jewish? Well that's good now I don't have to worry about her complaining about my 4skin.

[Soluzar]

Yes. For a Mexican.
Aren't most Mexicans a little less... white? I mean, I've seen your picture, you have skin like milk.

[Trefellin]

Aren't most Mexicans a little less... white? I mean, I've seen your picture, you have skin like milk.

They probably just thought that she was a house Mexican rather than a field Mexican. Or one of those albino señoritas. :|

[Melion]

People always think I'm full swedish. I'm actually half romanian, half danish.

I think I got some russian blood from my dads side way back too. :uhh:

[Soluzar]

They probably just thought that she was a house Mexican rather than a field Mexican. Or one of those albino señoritas. :|
Just to clarify, this is genuine confusion on my part. I thought that to be a Mexican was to be dark skinned, just like to be African or Caribbean is to be dark skinned, albeit with a difference in the specific range of skin tones.

[trunkschan90]

I was once mistaken for an Armenian even though I'm Spanish

[f2akid]

I actually get mistaken with nearly every new person I meet. It's mostly certain European ethnicities I get mistaken for such as Spanish (people in Spain thought I was one of them which was awkward at times and beneficial at others), Italian, some Mediterranean countries and just about every country in the Middle-East. On rare occasions Brits mistake me for a Brit as well. I've never taken offence to it though, it really amuses me that my ethnic origin can be so ambiguous and I do take advantage and lie about it on occasion for one reason or another.

I can think of plenty of times when someone in or outside work approached me talking a language I don't understand or asking if I'm from a certain country, very awkward situation to react to as I don't want to seem rude or unapproachable. But I've never been mistaken for a Jew, although I do have some Jewish features.

[animegurl]

Nobody can ever guess that I'm half Hispanic and half European. They always give me strange looks while they try to figure it out, then give up... *shrug*

[Undrave]

Someone once told me I had a Maritime accent, 'cept I've never even set foot there let alone come from there.

One of my uncle get confused for an arab or some other middle eastern type from time to time, but we don't have any middle eastern blood :p back when he had a mustache he looked like Borat :lol:

[Shiroiyuki]

Aren't most Mexicans a little less... white? I mean, I've seen your picture, you have skin like milk.

It's the hair and eyes, I've been told. I've also been asked if I'm part asian because of the hair...and the eyes <_<....

But no, French/Romanian. Erm...and a touch of English/Irish. My family got around...

[fujyoshi]

no worries I'm mixed around too actually most people mistake me for hispanic or asian o_o

[Caster13]

I have it worse. Much, much worse.

After I graduated high school, I still had a massive baby face. I was 19 years old, and quite a lot of people thought I was a sophomore in high school. Even a freshman. >_< A F-ING FRESHMAN!!!

I still look younger, but not too bad....however it's a giant pain in the *** trying to buy alcohol!! :mad:

[DavenIII]

I got carded in a Shoprite buying Alcohol when I was 25, they didn't believe it at the counter and actually had to call down a manager to come confirm it.

Baby Face SUCKS.

I was also literally chased down by a employee at a casino....the women literally grabbed my shoulder, and said {10-4 I got him} into her walky talky before asking me for my I.D. when I was 24 in Mohegan Sun.

[Caster13]

It will pay off years down the road as I get older, but right now it blows.

[Trefellin]

Just to clarify, this is genuine confusion on my part. I thought that to be a Mexican was to be dark skinned, just like to be African or Caribbean is to be dark skinned, albeit with a difference in the specific range of skin tones.

A Mexican would likely be ethnically mestizo or possibly full Native American... I think.

I don't think a Mexican has to be dark skinned. I think you'd call the skin tone, "olive." There are probably lighter skinned Mexicans. Either way, there is no reason why anyone should think Shiroi would be Mexican. I was making fun of that.

It will pay off years down the road as I get older, but right now it blows.

Shave your head, get a neck tattoo. Problem solved.

[DavenIII]

It will pay off years down the road as I get older, but right now it blows.

that's what they say but I don't believe it for a second....hasn't payed off yet I'm almost 29, by the time it will payoff I'll already be married with kids at that point whats the point.

Ahh well, no offense intended on my part to any Mexican folks. I just... honestly didn't know. I'm about a million miles away from Mexico here, and for some reason I got the wrong impression.

[Old Ape Face]

Yes. For a Mexican.

Tell him you're writing a 2,000 page British fiction novel about a soldier in World War 2.

He might not believe you, but hey you just made him think you're more crazy.

[Victory]

Just to clarify, this is genuine confusion on my part. I thought that to be a Mexican was to be dark skinned, just like to be African or Caribbean is to be dark skinned, albeit with a difference in the specific range of skin tones. I think you're referring to ethnicity here because one doesn't have to be white-skinned to be British for example. Just pointing that out since it's easy to confuse nationality, ethnicity, what have you.

Second of all I don't think the man in the story was exactly an anthropology expert... who knows what he was talking about. To throw in a funny anecdote, when I went to get vaccinated against the flu one of the people in charge peered at my dad (who had gone with me) and said "do you speak french?" Even though we were speaking to each other like 10 seconds earlier. Yeah. Some people's brains go into THIS PERSON LOOKS DIFFERENT! FOREIGNER ALERT! mode I believe.

And third of all there are white Mexicans who have been in mexico for a long time
see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_mexican

Now whether that qualifies as being 'ethnically mexican' is a matter of debate. How many centuries do you have to be somewhere to become 'ethnic'?
Most people only hang around alive for a century anyways...
I'm not even sure what ethnicity I am since that would imply looking up my family tree and that's really really boring. This thread made me think of some Japanese folks who like how they can trace back their family to the 6th, 7th, 8th century. OK, cool? What do I care? Bit of an off-topic rant already but what I'm getting at is that culture matters more than dna.

[Arnold]

I've been mistaken as Chinese by other Koreans who generally know better, but not really... If you're full blooded east asian, it's kind of hard to be mistaken as otherwise.

I however have a Colombian friend who some people thought was Chinese due to her almond shaped eyes.

[Soluzar]

I think you're referring to ethnicity here because one doesn't have to be white-skinned to be British for example. Just pointing that out since it's easy to confuse nationality, ethnicity, what have you.
Ehh, good point... but if someone thinks you are Mexican by looking at you, they are basing that on ethnicity, right? Point well taken, though.

[Shiroiyuki]

I was once mistaken for a Jackass.
Once?
I have it worse. Much, much worse.

You think that's bad? I was once denied sale of The Blues Brothers because I didn't happen to have my ID on me. It was supposed to be for 17 and older I guess and the cashier thought I was too young.

This was last year. I'm 23.

[Old Ape Face]

Once?

Now I'm just an ***.

[Caster13]

Shiro, I'm 22 and people think I'm a junior in high school. People my age are graduating college and I look like I'm 17.

actually when I was at the polls that one day I had a bunch 'a people telling me that I look too young to even vote and I'm 20 o_o

[Jack_Bauer]

@sailornyanko

This just tells me that people generally stereotype others based on what they see on the outside. I dont know you at all so I wont assume what your ethnicity is unless you talk about it. Though im sure most of it is not intentional or meant to be offensive, I think people just assume of others by the way they look or act. I've been mistaken for just about everything from thai, cambodian, laos, chinese, japanese, hawaiian, and everything else asian or pacific islander other than my true ethnicity. I think most of us can relate to that.

Now if they treat you unfairly due to the fact that they are assuming of your ethnicity is something entirely different and deserves some civil action of some sort.

[Melion]

People also thinks I'm older than I really am.

I'm 19 (soon 20 *Remember January 10 and give me presents* ) and people think I'm 25 or something.

Maybe it's my beard. :huh:

http://upload.snelhest.org/images/091211Picture_19.jpg

[Black Cat]

[Melion]

Mind you that the color of my beard is both white and black so you can't see it all. And it's not fully grown at this point.

Went through puberty a loooong time ago.

EDIT: Oh oh ooooh! Now I get it! You just made a cheap unfunny "dirty" joke!

That took awhile to get. :|

[seba_boi]

Yes. For a Mexican.

Whoah.... You should've gave him the "WTF?" look and told him off... Ignorant!... Ignorant!...

[The Million Dollar Prons]

Most people think I'm black.

[Maxximo]

I'd been mistaken as an African lately, I don't know why? They say I talk, walk and act like one; then I'll turn around and say" what, say it again" in a deep anger black man voice. Problem solved.

[DavenIII]

Most people think I'm black.

OH **** I forgot about that, I totally thought you were though....and Melion, that's not a beard, that's like an unkept soul patch, there's hardly anything there :P

[Holy Knight]

I've been mistaken as Jewish (Brains/fiscal conservative), Italian (I put on a suit, slick back my hair, and I'm a genuine mafioso), Iranian (a very white one, though...), and 100% French.

I'm half-French, 1/4 German, and 1/4 Euro-stock. I guess it's something that can come in handy, but I've never been in a situation where it has. I mostly just identify with Handsome, which appears universally appealing. :P

That is not a proper beard. You've actually got a pretty soft one that would easily make you look your age if you at least trimmed it. You and I are the same age and my beard is much thicker and grown over a larger area than yours. I don't know if I want to post a pic to prove it however...

You got the kind of Leonardo Dicaprio goatee going on, sort of.

[Fobb]

I've been mistaken for a Mexican a few times.

Once or twice I've even been mistaken as black...

True but at that point my beard was not fully grown, while I agree it's still soft and not all spread out, it's still something.

That director Guillermo del Toro is mexican and has blue eyes. It's far more common than you think to find white complexed mexicans in the north of the country. The more south you go, the less common. It's insanely weird to be black people in Mexico, most of them are tourists or employees from foreign multinational companies.

I however am probably the pastiest white employee at my hospital. Perhaps it's a small hospital (just 1 floor and at most only 200 beds which isn't much), but still.. I freaking stand out. Green eyes obviously stand out as well. There has been in the long past very few jewish students from my university that have done their internship here, but it's usually the ones with really bad grades that don't work well at all. Most people at my job assumed I'm just some gringa (it's funny to tell people I'm actually lawfully mexican because they never believe me or joke about wanting to deport me).

I've had patients tell me they think I'm either German, French and one lady seriously mistook me for a Chilean! I really do make the place more "diverse". :smokin:

[Woooh]

Most people think I'm black.

A truer statement has never been spoken.

Most people think I'm full white.

[Haro!]

I have Mexican, Portuguese, Japanese, and Lebanese with bits of Jewish from somewhere, in me. I get confused for all sorts of things. I occasionally get people asking me for directions in Chinese. People also mistake me for Filipino because of my name coupled with my appearance. Since the only language besides English that I know fluently is Spanish, I confuse the hell out of Hispanic people.

[Onigiri]

I'm Japanese, Native American, and Caucasian. People assume I'm white. Which is understandable... I am seriously one pale son of a b.

Of course you got the look but you have to pull of the full act to get her to bight the hook, if you know what I mean. :shifty:

Took the words right out my mouth. There are many many girls out there who would do crazy **** for/to a guy just because he's famous. Just ask Eminem.

I was thinking this as well. I've seen the pics Mirkz posted and I too am surprised girls don't approach him at random. So that just leaves something being done wrong on his part. No offence intended Mirkz.

[Old Ape Face]

Just look at Tiger Woods...

But I'm really more of less talking about the guys who look like a famous celebrity not that they really are famous.

that is the nature of the beast.

it's like when a woman does Magazine window shopping and she likes every guy in the magazine, and with some coincidence there is a guy who looks like those guys living down the street.

Perhaps not picking up on signals( really bad for that).
Either I don't get out enough, or women here are different to the women wherever you're from :)

On topic - had a mate say me and another guy I've ridden with a couple times look similar. Think he was messing about though.

[Shiroiyuki]

^You mean there might be more of you? Have mercy *wink*


On a more on-topic note, today some old guy kept insisting I lived in an adjacent town and graduated at a different school than what I truly did. He's like, 'no -- I know you are really Heather. I mean, you look EXACTLY like her and everything.' even though my name tag was clearly in sight.

He went on to say I grew up with his kids, so he was sure. I told him I lived in Madison Heights until about seven years ago. He told me FLAT OUT that I was mistaken. I....I mean what?

This could be slightly off topic, but...

From what I have heard from some foreigners a lot of people in other countries think that all black people are rappers or gangstas, since they have none in their country or have never seen one, and all they know is from the American media.

That is my understanding, yes.

I've been mistaken for many things. I have a lot of mixture. It's funny when I can tell that someone is trying to figure out what I'm..like it really matters. I have a german name, but don't look german. I've been mistaken for different hispanic nationalities, filipino, black, white, middle eastern, indian, and carribean.

Everyone thinks I am Korean because of my SN.

I'm sure Haro is disappoint... Or would that be Haru? Or Hara?

...Hari? Do we have a Hari?

[fujyoshi]

This could be slightly off topic, but...

From what I have heard from some foreigners a lot of people in other countries think that all black people are rappers or gangstas, since they have none in their country or have never seen one, and all they know is from the American media.

well thats the fault of media and just plain ol stereotyping.

...Hari? Do we have a Hari?

I will ask Skipper if he can change my name to "Hari?" the next time he logs in.

I think you are thinking of me, though you didn't get the name right because the exclamation is part of my name. I am not "disappoint" for a few reasons. First I was aware that he wasn't Korean. Secondly even if he was Korean, I am only interested in Korean women. Finally he named himself for Kim Jae Hoon which is pretty awesome in itself.

[f2akid]

...Hari? Do we have a Hari?

We should have a Hari! and a Hare! just for good measure. Hari! would have to be a girl though because it just sounds feminine, and Hare! should be a... um, rabbit?

[Justinian]

Like seriously though... How the **** did all of these names work out? Haro! Haru! Hara! or whatever... Was this all premeditated?

[Trefellin]

He? That's news to me. I don't know anything about Korean names so "Jae" sounds feminine to me. Also, I have never heard of Kim Jae Hoon. :huh:

Whatever.

Not premeditated. Everyone else just took my style.

Kim Jae Hoon is an SNK fighting game character, the son of the more famous Kim Kap Hwan.

Haro! has been around for ages, Haru was "Full Metal Haruko", and Hara! was Corncopp(somenumbers).

Haro is the ball shaped robot in Gundam that says Haro! all the time.

Beat me to it.

[Scandiadream]

I look as stereotypically Jewish as it gets. And I do have distant Jewish ancestry. So people have made that assumption based on my looks several times.

[Undrave]

I got Scottish ancestry and I even get rust-colored sideburns (the rest of my head is raven black) but no one asks me if I'm scottish :(

Maybe I should start wearing a kilt :lol:
