I know this guy who pretends to be Italian when hes really from Yemen. He even changed his name. He says that its not popular to be middle eastern in the US these days and it makes his life easier to do this. I can understand, but is this common? Do lots of people lie to appear less foreign?
It's a shame when you have to lie about your ethnic origins.
AMERICA FUCK YEAH
HERE TO JUDGE YOU ALL THE FUCKING TIME YEAH
This is why i will never go to america you bastard white house.
Why is it the White house anyway there is a black man living there it should be the BLACK HOUSE.
My brother once convinced his friends that he was 1/4 Japanese.
He's white as fuck. He has dumb friends.
He did it for laughs, though.
It's a human phenomena I guess to lie about something about yourself to appear more sexy or for safety. Some races are thought of as more sexy and so people will lie that they are Mediterranean, South American or partly black instead of a not so sexy race like Asian. But that depends on preferences...For safety people might pretend to be white.
I had an ex-boyfriend who said he was half American Indian and I have many reasons to believe he was not even from the western hemisphere...
Wow that makes me really sad that someone would go out of their way to do this just to feel appreciated. :/ smh People need to stop judging people based on race, religion, and their orientations. It makes no sense and is getting really irritating to me.
I'm halfcaste and convinced my mates the Brazilian legend Ronaldinho was my uncle. Classic.
I knew a guy who told me he was 100% Italian, but when he called the caller ID said someone named Jones was calling. Mwahahaha!
Nope, he was a skinny little blond haired, blue eyed, white boy. Although he was of partially Italian ancestry I think he wanted me to assume he had mob connections or something stupid and lame like that. Funny thing is I don't find what he wanted to be or portray attractive in the least. I'd knock over a whole bunch of Guidos just to get to one skinny little blonde guy.
It really depends on the country and the person's true ethnic group. I know a few Chinese immigrants in Japan whom have changed their names to appear more Japanese and would claim that they're half Singaporean and half Japanese to avoid the Chinese stigma.
