Been mistaken for Nigerian a few timesRemember in my old workplace when one randon customer came up to and starting speaking to me in his language...I was baffled...and when I couldnt understand what he was saying he looked at me as if i was crazy for not understanding him..then he asked me 'Do I speak Yoruba?'..I said nothen he laughed and said 'Sorry, Sorry...I thought you were Nigerian'

I get mistaken for being mixed-race because i have green/grey eyes, light skin complexion and curly mix race hair.do i get offended?a little bit. But it's one of those things though i just set them straight.I remember when i was in primary schooland we had a relay race in the play ground, blacks,mixed -race,white & asain. I went to the black team, and the boys said to me "You ain't black, your half cast!"I ain't gonna lie my eyes watered up. but this kid who's mother was friends with my parents was like, naaa he's parents are black. Then they were like ok lool
