have you ever been mistaken for something you're not

i have a few times, my ancestry -origins are from italy and germany, i was born in the uk...and when i posted my picture online once a few people thought i was from egypt or north africa...and i felt very offended by their false perceptions.

i want to know how do you deal with being mistaken for what you're not?

I get asked if I have any Scandinavian DNA because I'm tall and blonde and of course I have heard those dumb blonde jokes.
I laugh at the jokes and sometimes add one of my own,as for the Scandinavian heritage not that I'm aware of.
