I'm African (from Egypt) and African American and people continue to mistake me for being half asian. There is no Asian in me, anywhere! Sometimes, it's kinda cool, but then sometimes it's annoying because people think I'm lying.

I'm half Japanese and half American What do you mean, what's "American?" I'm pretty sure your Japanese side is American as well. And yeah, you could pass for part Hawaiian. You look like a mixed girl from Hawaii actually. Headst0ck Posted at 3:34 pm on Aug. 28, 2008 No I look plain ol' black.
