how often do you get asked if you are _________

guy i had been dating for six months "aren't you jewish?"
me "no..?"
guy "oh."

Vic gets this a lot

You went to NYU.

You're not asian.

the thing is, i wish i was, cos then i'd be off work and elbow deep in matzohs today

i've been asked fairly often if i'm part lebanese, syrian, or jordanian (depending on what country the person who is asking is from).

i think i'm not asked this all that much becuz a lot of clueless ppl just assume it

I get "are you gay?" almost ad nauseum. But, I guess that's a little different. COS I AM GAY!!

Er, actually I'm not...but I guess I fail many people's criteria of "manliness" or sumthing.

i did! xp

well, "ghost rider" is a jewish name, isn't it?

lol

Got this from a lady at work yesterday. I was an altar boy!

Sometimes when people ask, I lie and say "why yes I am Jewish," but then a minute later, I feel compelled to confess. Must be my Jewish guilt.

it was the "are you SURE?" o_O that made me so curious! WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I HAD SAID YES?

You should have said "HOW DO I KNOW?"

i dated a rabbi's daughter even though i am 1000% goy.

this is how i won AdamRL over.

am i jewish: 10-12 times / year
am i italian: 10-12 times / year
am i gay: 15 - 25 times / year
am i white: 20 - 25 times / year

nope, no signore, once or twice in high school, fuck you

i get jewish a lot

luckily i know the dinner prayer

i mean, i managed to fool someone for six months! without even trying! he was really disappointed to find out i wasn't.

yeah, it's like an intensely personal disappointment when you confess you're not.

that being said, i never think anybody else is a quaker

just stay off jdate, shiksas

i never get asked if i'm jewish :/
i just get asked
are you a vegetarian?
(which i am not but obv give off a vibe)
are you from b.c./'the west'?
(which i am. and prob goes hand in hand with prev question)

i'm in your religious dating site network gonifing your bubbies...

xpost.

Canadian jews only have two kinds of bagels.

this never happens to me

montreal bagels are sooooo dense

I've gotten greek, arab and just about every other mediterranean ethnicity you can imagine.

The hasidic jews ask if you're jewish so they can convert you to their kind of judaism. I once denied being jewish to them to avoid that conversation. Not my proudest moment.

people have assumed I'm Irish or Catholic. Not much of one, nil of the other.

lol I never get asked anything like this besides "are you from new york?" which is RIDICULOUS I mean LISTEN TO ME TALKING WTF.

when i was at ucla i got asked if i was persian constantly.
the rabbi there asked me if i was jewish once and i told him half, but not that half that matters, and he scoffed at me and walked away. too bad he had a booger hanging out his nose.
i worked at temple day care one summer because all my friends were doing it.
i have been asked if i'm american indian, italian, half black (?!).
people mostly think i'm middle eastern now
the guy that sits next to me at work says "assalam alaykum" every time he sees me or some other racialist joke.
that's ok. i make fun of him for being a lazy mexican even though he's from bolivia

SO IS JESS HARVELL A CHICK OR A DUDE

CAUSE IF SHE'S A CHICK THEN SHE'S GOT A FUCKIN' MOUTH ON HER

IF SHES A DUDE I TOTALLY HAVE A CRUSH ON HER

i get jewish a lot too

secret noise jews

Often. :/ It's weirder when people ask if I'm Mexican, which I used to get more when I was younger (?).

i have never been mistaken for anything but gay once or twice

i am the perfect reflection of my ethnicities

bnw's comment has me looking at jdate

maybe i like jewish girls after all?

Canadian jews only have two kinds of bagels.

Is one the kind that Dov Charney sticks his dick in?

human jewish after all

the only other thing i've gotten besides jewish is french. but mostly just the jewish. i also have a last name that is kind of a common jewish name, though the jewish version usually has an "e" on the end.

people are consistently confused by what i am

me too.

i love me some jewass.

how often do you get asked if you are _________

English.

Every single fucking time an English/American tourist comes in.

It gets boring really quickly.

i once guessed someone's accent was south african and he was so pleased with me

Laurel TMI

"are you into Manga?"
"NO"

WRONG GEEKNICITY

i have a friend who thought i was jewish for the longest time. i don't understand this!! esp since back then i used to wear my crucifix a lot.

i get "are you eastern european" fairly regularly and i don't understand what it means. also a few people who insist i sound like i am from germany????!

ally, you are so not jewish. and i love it.

this discussion I'll only have IRL.

Ally is part hispanic tho so maybe she is jewrican or jewlumbian lol...

there is no mistaking my ethnicity, ever, unless you're a dumbass. i find this :\

Somebody once came up to me and asked me if I was Japanese.

But this was in India, where another person (at a truckstop) asked me in all seriousness

"Are you a male person or a female person?"

i think my jewiness is pretty transparent to all who meet me.

OMG JB THAT REMINDS ME: I saw your Orthodox counterpart on a subway platform the other day!!! She was a little younger and clearly Ortho but looked SO MUCH like you that I almost said hi until I was like "uh JB would never wear that silly scarf on her head."

I HAVE SEEN HER 2

Anyway, to answer the question...old enough to buy those cigarettes? I got carded last week.

I get asked that all the time but never for booze

I get asked if I'm Brazilian every so often, mostly due to my tendency to wear a Brazilian soccer shirt (as seen on the current WDYLL) when I have nothing better to wear. Once I was asked this by a very cute Brazilian girl (thumbs up) who wanted nothing to do with me once she found out I was not, in fact, Brazilian. (thumbs down)

I also get asked a lot, accurately, if I am of mixed race.

I've never been asked if I was gay, but I did get asked if I was bisexual once. That amused me.

mega-xp to Jaxon getting asked if he's half-black: For some reason, I always assumed you were black until I saw a picture of you.

jermaine jaxon

Oh, fuck! I broke my pledge never to post on or read Noise. I thought this was on ILE.

I get asked if I am a cop by dudes in bathrooms

o_o

I used to get called "ma'am" about once a week. Grew a beard in 2001 and kept it. Since then, I STILL get called ma'am a couple of times a year.

Jewish occasionally, gay frequently. Irish, only by drunks and homeless...Momma birds can smell their own.

after the under the stall tap?

right before the over the urinal snort

I only use the stall when I am sure there are only other cops around

What's annoying is the bathroom dudes who won't blow you UNLESS you're a cop.

or the guys that turn out to be girls that then turn out to also be cops and you get busted for reverse polish solicitation

"Vadges? We don't need no steeking vadges..."

er, "steenking"

BIG HOOS aka the steenking

i would eat all of this

it is really good

Rev, you just posted on NB again!!!

Yeah, but once you've popped your cherry, you might as well become a slut, amirite?

And I just missed a choice opportunity to use the word "POPPAGE".

rodney on noize board can only be a good thing

rev = new fav poster

are you british?
are you from new zealand?
(and most recently) are you from chicago?

bitch, please.

lol

i think that may be the first time post-chris crocker that someone did "bitch, please" on these boards...and, not to ruin it, but that post managed to be sublime timing in this comedy-frustrating textual environment. well-played

...laughing at me?"

I swear I'm not.

a girl in HS thought my gf and I were both gay and pretending to go out with each other to cover it up

so did most of ilx

looooooooooooooooooool

Somebody once came up to me and asked me if I was Japanese.

My mom gets asked if she's Japanese all the frigging time. A lot of the time they (Japanese people mostly) refuse to believe me, her blond haired/blue eyed daughter, when I tell'em that, no, *sadly*, she's not. I guess it sort of runs in the family cause my grandfather (her dad) was taken for a Chinese person a lot of the time. My daughter also has the same eyes...
