>>215231841
When I was a kid, my family went on a vacation to the Bahamas, and another American family we met though we were Canadian. I have no idea why, since our accents don't sound Canadian at all.

Once, when I was in Czech Republic (Brno) a local asked me and a friend of mine where are we from. We told him that we are from Bulgaria and he asked us if we were Jews. No idea why he thought that we were Jews, and just not Bulgarians.
>>
>>215231841
twice yes:
an arab hairdresser asked me if I was an Egyptian
And not so long ago a Mexican thought I was Mexican too.
>>
>>215231841
A big old lovable roly-poly Serb told me that I looked Czech, which is pretty objectively the case. By ancestry I'm Polish, German, Irish, Scott, English, French, Danish, in descending order of predominance. My Mom's maiden name is kind of rare, and my dad's mom's probably appears only about 30 times in the Social Security database. Yet there are are about 750 people with my exact first, middle, and last name in North America. Weird.
