Really? Because you don’t look Cuban.

My rebuttal to that is usually “Then what am I supposed to look like?” You’d be surprised how often people realize they don’t have (or don’t want to give) an answer to that.

And heaven forbid they learn I speak Spanish, almost as if it’s a greater accomplishment for me because I’m so fair-skinned. I would think that in this day and age, we would stop assuming “white” is the default, unless otherwise noted.
