I almost forgot about myself! I'm 5'10" and very European-looking. Based on looks people tend to think I'm Greek or Jewish. Well I took my husband's last name which happens to be Asian. It is always throwing people off at doctors' offices, DMV, etc.
But the funniest was a woman who was trying to find me at our large church. Since we only talked over the phone, she went up to every Asian-looking woman in the place asking, "Are you Hanna Chang?" "Are you Hanna Chang?" Not my real last name, but you get the point.
