I think you should be open about your origins. If women from your background are known to be bad dates (never heard of this type of thing) you might want to put a good face out there for them.

Do you think this is wrong?
Uh; "race" and "ethnic" ain't the same.

A "Hispanic" is an "ethnicity" but can be of ANY race or a mix.

Huh......most guys I know ethnicity is low on the list of the things they look for.

How can you lie about your ethnicity too? I mean, most people can probably see your appearance and guess which part of the world you are from.

Harrier writes in either NA or human when asked for ethnic identity on forms.

I typically tell people I am a different ethnic background. I know that it shouldn't matter, but I have noticed that I'm treated better when people don't know my true ethnic identity.

I will also add that obama has claimed to be "black" and "irish." I guess it's okay to lie as long at it serves you politically.

I have a sneaking suspicion your ethnicity is troll.
