Mistaken For Or Able To "Pass" For Another Race Or Nationality

[Asicz]

I don't consider myself light skinned even though it can be argued. I get Ethiopian regularly. In fact most people just assume I am Ethiopian.

When I went to the DR people thought I was Dominican and when I went to JA everyone thought I was local Rastafari.

I have been asked if I was mixed or even North African.

I am pretty much a chameleon. If the county has "Black" people of various skin tons I can fit in though I have never been to Africa. Probably never go to East Africa though b/c I have had Habisha here argue me down about not claiming my heritage. I

You not Ethiopian/half Ethiopian?

I'm an Englishmen with Angolan lineage. But people usually think I'm Jamaican, Barbadian, on some rare occasions some people assume that I'm African American, heck even Angolans that reside England can't recognize me. Lastly, I've had folks asking me whether I'm half Asian due to the size of my eyes, I remember I was having a conversation in Portuguese with a relative of mine at some function this one Asian that was observing me asked me if was Korean, I laughed and said "Does it look like it?" the kid walked off in embarrassment.
