People always assume im another race and its starting to annoy me?

I'm Filipino and white and ever since I could remember people have always mistaken me for being Mexican, Puerto Rican, and occasionally French. This used to not bother me but now its getting annoying. At work when Filipinos need a translator they always say "Can I have a Filipino because I'm not good in English" even though I'm Filipino and I could speak Tagalog fluently! And when people see my white dad they always ask if Im adopted or something. I don't blame anyone for assuming I'm a different race because I know that I don't look Filipino and that I only look a little bit white. I don't know why but its been really irritating lately. How could I stop this from annoying me?People always assume im another race and its starting to annoy me?
You can grow some thicker skin. People are not too good at identifying ethnicities, mainly because ethnicities are only identifiable through culture and language. I have to wonder why this is even an issue.
People of mixed ethnicity are more and more common. You can't possibly expect people to know your background without any personal knowledge about you! You yourself have probably mistaken someone's ethnic identity before and not even realized it! Be more forgiving of people, this is a country of thousands of different cultures and backgrounds and people cannot possibly know all of them. Just be proud and don't take people's comments as being rude or trying to hurt you, use it as a chance to educate one more person.People always assume im another race and its starting to annoy me?
I understand, I have the same problem because I have dark hair and tan whereas my sister is blonde with pale skin that doesn't tan. We compare notes. Well, I just embraced the fact I was being mistakenly thought of as a foreigner in my own country. My sister laughs, as people think she is Swedish and I'm French or Italian, and we are both born and bred English.
people always judge what they don't understand. that's life. People always assume im another race and its starting to annoy me?
By realizing that some people are not trying to offend you. They really just do not know.

I always get spanish speakers come up to me and start talking rapidly in spanish-I'm vietnamese but I really don't look like your average asian.

In all honesty you have to realize that they lack the sense of culture that you have because they were not raised in the same sort of environment and were not as exposed to certain things as you; once you realize this, it'll be a lot easier to brush off your shoulders.

I've had people ask me if I'm Chinese,Cambodian, Laos, Latina, Black (I know, right?) and even Muslim (which is the stupidest thing, Muslim is religion and you can be Muslim no matter WHAT race you are). People are scarily ignorant, and don't sink to their level. Keep your head up and just know that they lack info on some serious levels.
