Yeah, Briana you do look like you could be a tad Persian or something of some middle eastern descent in that photo. I'm gonna say that not only is it due to your tan, but your eyes as well.
I used to get the same stuff all the time from strangers. People saying I looked Iranian and Asian and all these other ethnic groups. And I'm not even tan. If you have a unique look, people think you're something that you're not.
Yes, at least they know you're human Briana!
Is it really all that bad if some people think you're one race or another? People think you're hot, that's what counts, right?
