I’m not Mexican because I’m brown!

Eugene, OR

People think because I have olive colored skin, brown eyes, and brown hair that I’m Mexican. Not that there is anything wrong with being Mexican but that is not my ethnicity. I am Navajo, Portuguese, and some Scottish, Irish, and Cherokee and probably some other but I look more Navajo and Portuguese than any other. I get mistaken for Mexican all the time and even have Spanish speaking people try to speak to me in that language and the only language I know is English and all because of my looks!
