I also flunk alllooksame.com. It keeps telling me I'm a racist honkey bastard. Ah well, I comfort myself with the fact that Fod can't get over 60% on it either.
It IS horribly sad!
Plus she has small and mighty fists of fury, like Fod. *nod*
HA! I just flunked miserably as well. I would also flunk if they added Vietnamese, though according to most of my Vietnamese friends, Vietnamese look more distinct from Chinese, Japanese, and Korean than the latter three do from each other. I just shake my head and tell 'em I'm a racist honkey bastard like you.
I'm getting better at identifying Asian ethnicities. I could always spot a Jew from a mile away, and Maze taught me to spot Polacks. Surprisingly enough, this never comes in handy.
I like Margaret Cho's take on the subject- "why do you need to tell us apart? Are we going to be separated at some point??"
But I can't because apparently everyone thinks this icon is me now.
I wouldn't be able to say "that person is Jewish" if she shoved her menorah in my face. And I didn't even know you could tell if a person was Polish by looking at them. While back, was talking to this guy, asked where he was from, and he said India, and I just stood there looking at him, and he said, you're surprised, aren't you. And I was said uh, and he said, you thought I was Mexican, didn't you. And I was kind foot shuffley and well, yeahish. He says he gets it all the time. But I also thought a friend of mine who's Arab was Mexican for a while, too. I've also mistake quite a few Vietnamese people for Mexican. I really suck at divining ethnicity.
But anyway, I've never met anyone who gave a damn. Except my BFF in middle school was half Cambodian, and once this person walked up to her and said, "What are you?" and I just got so fucking pissed off that I butted in and said, "She's a human being; what the hell are you?" and after that, she always made me field that question for her. People asked her that a lot because she was really exotic looking, and it hurt her feelings. But not because they wanted to know; it was the way they asked. Some people are so senseless.
Um. I don't know where that rant came from.

I got "what are you?" or "where are you from" all the time when I lived in the South. I always said "Americn" and "New York", but what they really wanted to know was my religion. I played with them til they either got bored or asked me flat out.
I could pass for Italian, possibly Greek. But nose, hair, skin, I am pretty much a poster girl for Heeb.
I didn't know Polish had a "look" either until my kid was born. Flat back of the head, ears big enough to fly with and round eyes worthy of anime. Why, hello there, Eastern Europe.

Hee. She says, "yes we're both KOREAN".
Fod's prettier.
They have similar vocal inflections. And when Sharon cries it reminds me so much of Fod I CANNOT STAND IT.

Tape and fastforward? Sharon, not Fod. Because that's horribly sad!
