Same here.
Every time someone tells me that I don't look Dominican, I always tell them to explain to me what exactly is the Dominican look and this is almost always followed by an odd silence. Then I break the ice again by saying we come in all colors, shapes and sizes and quickly shift the conversation to something else.
There was a time when I met a beautiful woman from Tibet, she didn't believe that I was Dominican even after I explained everything to her. The time that she "got it" was when another Dominican asked me if I'm Dominican, because as you know, Dominicans can spot each other a mile away. Unbelievable, that had to occur before she got it.
You live and you learn.
