    My name comes from an ethnic background but I dont look ethnic so I always get weird Looks at doctors offices because of it. I think its pretty funny but I guess some people dont find it as funny to be “profiled” so to speak. It really depends on the culture you grew up in and how high tolerance actually was for that sort of thing in your life, at least thats my two cents. I dont mind it but others might.

      I’m not trying to hate on you but there’s a real problem with using the word ethnic to mean non white. You are certainly ethnic. You belong to an ethnicity.
