Can anyone explain this?

(Serious replies only, please.)

Everyone is always asking me what nationality I am. This has occurred ever since I can remember. Many people have emailed me asking this question, & the other day while in line at a store I had yet another person ask this. Guesses are anywhere from Swedish to Hispanic to Middle Eastern.

I do not look exotic or have an accent that would imply that I am from somewhere else, so why does this keep happening?

    I am half african american and chinese, but only a handfull can ever guess that.Most of the time, they can get one or the other.But never both.I also can pass for a lot of nationalities.I actually like the fact that they do not know.Only my true friends.I used to hang out with another person with the same name as me.And that was really fun.He is african american and people would always refer to us as the black Mitch(him) and the chinese Mitch(me).Even our female friends.It was fun, but to a different aspect.The girls I would hang out with would call me "thier" Mitch and his the same thing aplied for him.Man, those were the good old days.Just apreciate you are different.The world would be pretty bland if everything was the same.SALUTE INDIVIDUALITY.Bye Love!
