Are you black or white ?

Some ppl know I like to bring up the fact im "black" as
to why I cant swim well and when Im on a rant how
the racial minorities need to group together to fight
the white opression. Of course im not really serious, but
ppl often say, "your not even black!"

Well today whilst playing blackjack at Paris, there
were 2 african american women playing and a younger
african american female dealer. Even tho i was wearing
a hat, after a while of playing they
thought i was african american or a mixture , 1/2 black 1/2 other.
Then i said i was sri lankan in origin, and they were like
oh, we were only talking to you because they thought
I was "african american" . Then they started laughing, I didnt
get it. So may be im not black, but i can be confused for one ,
or perhaps im just confused.

Also my accent apparently is english, must be the "posh"
adelaide accent. No one assumes im aussie, i dont look
aussie, i dont speak aussie according to the americans.
Some quasi looking black english speaking person. Freak !
