I've gotten the same thing a couple times. When I worked as a Bag Boy at Publix a woman who had been to the Middle East a couple times asked me if I was Iranian. Told her nope, I'm Cuban.

Then in a Driver's Ed. class, I was driving the car with another student and we were talking. She asked me if I was Israeli. Told her nope, I'm Cuban (I, BTW, guessed her ethnicity accurately, being Nicaraguan). Should've said yes, though. Heh. Next time someone asks me what my ethnicity is, I'm gonna give them a BS name.

"Are you Israeli?"

"Yes I am! I'm Eleazar Goldberg. Nice to meet you." LOL!

LOL. Of course, when I lived in Miami, everyone took it for granted that I spoke Spanish. I do, despite being of Italian and Polish ancestry!

I've been mistaken for everything except Oriental. Now I'm ready for them when they ask.

Yes I am indeed the spawned love child of Capt. James T Kirk and an unnamed Klingon woman.
