what are you? (another annoying thing...)

when i meet someone for the first time and 10 minutes into the conversation they're busy guessing my ethnic background as though it's some kind of fun game for everyone. no, i'm not greek. no, i'm not italian either. i am a lovely mixed-breed mutt of a person and i don't see why i should have to explain to you why i look the way that i do. plus, i think it is very rude to ask a stranger a question like that.
