When some others look at me, they see something else. In my life, I have been mistaken for French, Italian, and, most often, quite often, Hispanic.Just the other day, Big D & I were in Verizon getting our free phone upgrades. Our person made the comment that the phone Big D was looking at had a Spanish feature. Weird, but I thought nothing of it.
As we left, Big D commented that he thought she thought (lovely wording, no?) I was Spanish speaking. Surely not, I said. But then as I thought about it,maybe so.
However, once I open my mouth, there's no mistaking my culture.
Seriously, I get the same thing! I don not see what or why they think this. I have been told way to many times that I look like Gloria Estaves (sp).
ReplyDeleteIsn't that funny that people jump to those assumptions? You look like a former Memphis cutie to me.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting and I love the title!
ReplyDeleteI'm so pale nobody mistakes me for anything other than caucasian!
I so need a tan!
You are from Arkansas so wouldn't that make you Hick-spanic?
ReplyDeleteLOL at Big D's comment! Or would that be Senor D?
ReplyDeleteYou are a GRITS thru and thru, BFF!
LOL @ Big D. I can't say I see any Hispanic there. Just a cute little white girl.
ReplyDeleteIt is funny how people make those assumptions.
ReplyDeleteAnd Hick-spanic - That comment was hilarious!
Hillbilly, through and though!!
ReplyDeleteYou are a pretty lady!!!!
At least no one thinks you are a Turkey from Turkey who's Turkish.
You could pass for an Albanian or Romanian.
Are you part Greek?
When in Rome...
:-)
You? Hispanic? Nope, not seeing it. I've seen a lot of times - especially in TX - if you have dark hair, you're automatically Hispanic.
ReplyDeleteI love it when people see my last name and start talking to me in Spanish. I don't know Spanish. I'm not Hispanic. I'm a white chick and proud of it. Just because my married name is Hispanic, though, people think I am.
LOL Sweetheart, I look at you and see the prettiest face! You're beautiful--and I'm a little partial to dark features. xo
ReplyDeleteOnly Big D could come up with Hick spanic and get by with it.... it was funny!!!
