Im half here, located in Santa Rosa, California but the majority of my family is in San Jose. Most people just assume i am Mexican. I guess it doesnt help that i am fluent in Spanish, and that over half the population here is Hispanic.


Whenever I'm with a couple of my Flip friends walking around the mall or whatver people automatically assume we're Mexican... :fail:

IM Laotion mixed with Thai...but i speak Cambodian...but everyone thinks im either Flip or Vietnamese....go fawken figure.....:boink:

when i go to other cities where there are no cambodians and the people never heard of cambodians, they always think we're flips even wen there is barely any flips out here in Mass... its very common out in the suberbs of Mass for white people to confuse us cambodians for either flips, mexicans or sometime even black lol...plus Mass is the 2nd state to have the biggest cambodian communites and white people from the sub towns still never even heard of cambodia...

and

why do u speak cambodian?? did your parents live in cambodia??
