Many people tell me I'm their "strangest", mostly because of my ethnicity (I'm a South American Amerindian: Aymara). People here in North America can never guess my race, or my age, and not even my gender. I'm male, late 30s, and people think I'm female, mid-20s, all the time. They also think I'm anything from Arab to Filipino, from Chinese to a Black mix, from Greek to Mexican.

What is the person from the most uncommon racial background you've ever met? Did s/he puzzle you as much as it seems I puzzle people around me?

If people classify you as strange just because of your ethnic, then they are the STRANGE ones!!!! Who are they to judge a fellow human based on skin tone and/or heritage???

To answer your initial question...the strangest person I ever met...is this guy who lives about 4 blocks from me. Rarely works..most length I have known him to stay on a job is 3-4 days!!..Yet...always seems to have all the necessities and material things...more so than myself and I have worked steady for over 20 years!!! Strange...yeah...very!!!!!!!!!

There was a friend from high school who, after 50+ years, screamed and hollered at two of us, thereby losing good, longtime friends. The reason I was screamed at? I simply could not stand the smell of 60 lbs of tripe cooking in her kitchen with all of the windows closed. She said I was "prejudiced". Over smelly ol' tripe? Excuuuse me?

I saw a guy the other day who just looked freaky. He had button eyes and big blubbery lips. Totally white complexion and with this spherical hairdo, kinda like an afro but tight curls not frizzy. But the thing that stood out the most was the scowl on his face. He was probably sick and tired of people staring at him.

I met a person that was 1/10th Egyptian, 1/8th Chinese, 1/8th Indian, 1/8th Eskimo, 1/8th Finnish, and the rest Galapagosian. Or was I high?

Strangeness is not race or ethnicity based, except to shallow people. You could be descended from a combination of underwater ukranian cello players and turnips, which would make you a bright yellowish purple, and still not be strange if your thinking is the usual conformist droneism. \
To be honest with you, I think you might be one of those dudes from star trek that changes their form constantly.

The strangest person to me, is this girl named Olivia. She's asian, but has natural brown hair. She asks people to call her Shphinky and gives them random hugs. She says hi to random people on the street, and she loves to poke people's stomachs. (I make this natural "gah" sound when she pokes my side or stomach, so she finds it amusing to poke me all the time). Every friday, she goes to this convenience store to stock up on her candy. She asks to sniff the teacher's coffee everytime she sees one of them with a cup of coffee. She likes to scream and run around in circles. She and her friends love to dog pile me. She makes funny noises, but at the same time, which makes her even more confusing, is that at other times, she can be completely, dead serious. She likes to chant other people's names until they get annoyed, and she likes to lift me and hug me all the time. She mostly like to annoy people, and she likes to do the most absurd things. She doesn't use common sense, and she loves to laugh. Shes a very cheerful person, and even though shes really strange, everyone likes her :)

I have a friend who is mix of mongolian-chinese-russian-afro mix
His eyes are like a chinese,his face is more like mongolian,his tall as russians(mother is russin) and he is dark(dad is an african descendant).I couldnt never have guessed his origins.
Even when he spoke it seemed like very weird that he was actually speaking my language without accent and all..
I always feel different around him
