I don't even have to wear my hair in braids and I get asked that exact question. They say "you have high cheek bones" like this alone make me American Indian.
Go figure.

Do you have other features that could make you look American Indian? (I haven't seen any pictures of Nikki)
I beg to differ. I am saying that their interest is only superficial, shallow conversation at best.
Most the time it's small talk. Most the time it's just something to pass the time, meeting someone the first time at a bar, event, outing, gathering, party, club, etc. etc. etc.
If they are truly interested, then they would ask EVERYONE "Where are you from?" just like they ask, "So what do you do for a living?" ala JustJess
(I personally try very hard to not ever use that for conversation fodder.)
