When I went to the UK, I was at a club with an Austrian and a Brazilian friend. The last one was a girl of Japanese ancestry -she was like a tanned person with Asian features-.. I met some Brazilian girls at the club, and I told them I was there with another Brazilian girl! They told me like "Oh, but she's Japanese".. and I was kind of thinking: "She was born in Brazil, her parents are in Brazil for many years, and she doesn't even speak Japanese"..

It was really weird, now that you mention it..

I've got friends who look really Black or Asian.. but we would never say things such as "Oh but you're not Chilean, you're African".. or "Oh but you're not Chilean, you're Korean"..
