“你不像“

Here is a typical conversation I have with older Chinese people:

“你是哪国人”？

Where are you from?

“我是美国人”

I'm from America.

“你不像”

You don't look like an American.

Fair enough.

I also look like I fall under the following ethnicities:

1. Indian

2. Mexican

3. Every single South East Asian country

4. NW Chinese/Central Asia (I think this is a stretch, but it has come up several times)
