Ask them, "Why do you ask?" If they have any sense at all, they'll change the subject gracefully.

Buy a t-shirt that states you're not mixed and then where it when you meet someone new? I think you're just going to have to get use to it though.
I have a pink birth mark on my left (face) cheek. Sorta looks like a heart. I used to get annoyed because people would ask me all the time if I had marker or a sticker on my face. I just got use to it. Sometimes I say something about it before they ask that way they don't sit there trying to figure out what it is lol. It's a part of who I am so I accept it and move on.

why do you get annoyed? There are worst things in the world for you to get annoyed about. You can't control what people will ask you unless you wear a sign saying I'm Not Mixed. Just accept that people will ask this. Most people of today are mixed they are just trying to find out who you are.

A very sweet elderly lady taught me this response: Yep, I'm part tweety bird and part window shutter. You should see the expressions people give me when I answer that question likewise...hilarious.

Ask them one of these two questions:
1. What do you think?
2. How important is it to you?

Just agree that it is a nice day. If they persist, walk away.
