I was born in Bangkok, Thailand in '75, lived in Singapore from '76-'86, then Chicago from '86-'95, and am now living in Texas. My mother is Thai, and my dad is a mix of German, Scottish, Irish, and English...quite a mix huh??
No one ever assumes I'm part Asian; I guess structurally I look caucasian except for my slightly darker complexion and black hair. When I was in Chicago and had long hair people assumed I was Native American, then with short hair people thought I was Italian. Then around here in Texas a lot of people mistake me for being Hispanic; I guess because of the Hispanic population and the close proximity to Mexico. Then the rest are clueless and just ask, "What the hell are you??" I just don't fit in anywhere!! (sniff, sob, lol!) It used to piss me off but I've learned to just expect it and overcome it.
I would love to travel to Europe though, especially Germany.
