When I was in junior high and high school, I was constantly asked "What are you?". With my tan complexion (which was darker when I was younger), dark eyes and hair, I stood out from all the pasty, very white, blond haired, blue eyed Mormon kids. Most kids thought I was Italian or Spanish...but really I have Native American blood from both my mom and dad. I don't get it much anymore, although when hubby and I went to Mexico the hotel employees, etc. all spoke Spanish directly to me before speaking to hubby, and were always surprised when I told them I didn't speak Spanish.
