Oh, I had the same eyes when I was little! I'm half Chinese and half white, that being a mix mainly of Italian, Irish, English, and Scandinavian. I've gotten the "what are you?" question more times than I can count, and sometimes some less-than-subtle stares. People actually guess about it, and I've had everything from Spanish to Samoan (I had to look that one up on a map at the time) to Filipino.

I don't think anyone's really asked me about it with bad intent or any negativity, but the first time someone asked me directly about it, I was about twelve and had no idea what the woman was talking about. She asked if I was a mix, and I had no clue what she meant. She had to clarify her question, and my lack of understanding for a good two minutes was a tad uncomfortable. It really isn't upsetting or anything though. It just gets a little tedious, answering the same question so many times. The people that ask are typically just curious and don't mean anything bad. When I was a little girl, they'd ask because they wanted to tell my mother that they thought I was an adorable combination and all that, which is a huge compliment to me.

From my experience though, the legitimately racist people (though mercifully I haven't had to deal with too many) just tend to jump to conclusions and condemn me from the start for looking different in the first place.
