Do I look Spanish? I’m getting a myriad of messages asking if I am today! I’m not. Not that I’m implying that there’s anything wrong if I was. Just bemused that a) people approach in that way and b) that you wouldn’t start from the assumption I’m simply British.

Have you ever been asked if you’re another nationality? Or an assumption re something similar?

I get bored of White people not accepting I’m British as an answer. But also other Black peoples often guess that my family are from West Africa. And like- I’m Jamaican so I almost definitely am West African. But my maternal great grandad was Chinese and my maternal grandma has a Portuguese maiden name . Guessing ethnicity is pointless.

People usually assume I’m mixed race because I’m not a darker skinned black person, I teased at school a lot they used to say I was adopted as both my parents are dark skinned, not realising I look identical to my grandmother in skin tone and appearance. :D

I’ve had people ask if I’m half Asian (East Asian) before which baffles me. There is Indian in my lineage further down though!

And then you get the “Where are you really from” when you say you’re British to people, it never ends.

Actually sorry, I posted after a sudden spate of messages just now, and didn’t really think through the actual depth of daily attrition that I don’t receive and many people do - I hope I haven’t (with no intent) minimised or negated others’ experiences - just thinking.

Plus- classic. The West Indies are full of so many different people from different diasporas. Many indentured peoples were there, you have the native people, you have west Africans that were slxves there and you have obviously Europeans that were there. I think it’s fascinating because people from all the different islands look like they’ve got family from all around the world. And I guess we do tbf.
