The awkward moment when someone sees a picture of my toe shoes and the foot is showing through the mesh on top... and she totally flips out because I'm white and she thought I was black.
Kim: LYNX!!! YOU'RE WHITE??!!??! gosh.

Lynx: I'm sorry, I don't follow. How do you get that fact from any pics I have posted or anything I have said?

Kim: umm since I already sound stupid, ... When you see enough pictures I guess you notice, when the flash hit your shoes it let the white of your feet shine through, unless they are lined with white, but they are not.. I thought it was socks at first..

Lynx: The part of the shoe over the instep is mesh so yes, the foot might show vaguely. I thought that's what you probably saw. But there are such things as toe socks. For the record though, I am in fact caucasian. Did you imagine I was black?

Kim: I had a weird dream that I met a tall, skinny, and handsome black man. With a very BIG Afro.
If it helps matters, you look good black LOL.
How in the WORLD do I answer that?!

When you watch someone have a full on meltdown, then stomp away real aggressively

I just want to clarify that the "Kim" in Lynx's post was NOT me.

I myself was always pretty doggone sure that Lynx was some sort of Native American/Filippino/Dutch and French Canadian mix.

So what if he looks "white"? A lot of people do nowadays. I could be right on the money! :p

(Take me for instance... I "look" Asian, but technically, I'm actually white! :cool:)

Actually... this reminds of me of a popular late-night DJ on a local radio station who definitely "sounded" white. And, his name was actually Tim White.

But, you guessed it... he was actually black... which they managed to make the entire theme of one of his shows because no one would believe that he was black.

Just in case no one knew....

I'm Mexican. Lol
Wow. I'm really not very good at this game.

I was going to guess Scottish Italian with undertones of Eskimo-ian (why else would she be demanding snocones and penguins all the time...)

In that case I'll clarify that I'm Brazilian... I'm not white nor I am black nor I am anything... as that brownish yellowish blur that latinos usually are... hehehehe

You know what always cracks me up? People will ask if I'm Chinese or Japanese... and after that they give up... because surely there are only two Asian countries and if you're not from China or Japan... Then they start tossing in random guesses like Mexican, Filipino or Hawaiian...

If I wasn't so utterly annoyed, I might be slightly amused... To me, it's all in the way the person asks. For people who are polite, no problem. For people who act like it's a guessing game or as if they have a right to know... I've always wondered why so many people find it "socially acceptable" to ask or guess "what you are"--as if you're an alien species--if you happen to be neither white nor black.

Well... you would feel at home here... cause unless you're white as it can be and blond, people just assume you're Brazilian... huahuahuahua

I thought that one time in different thread you mentioned something about being Japanese. I could be mistaken. Not that it makes any difference to me. You are a wonderful person! I am German/Irish/Scottish by the way. :p

Melita is Japanese, but her parents are both Mexican, so she calls herself Mexican just to avoid confusion.

Somebody chase me outta here... :p

How about the awkward moment when you try to send a pm and then you realize that you sent it to yourself and thought for a moment there was someone else with the exact same username? Believe me it happened this morning.
