no. be yourself. it's rude for people to inquire about your ethnicity anyway, so it's acceptable to ignore them when they ask (change the subject)

Whatever makes you happy. I you want, feel free to tell them you are chinese.
Seriously, I'd be honest and nice about it. If you are mexican, then I guess you "look" mexican. I think people take this stuff too seriously. Worr about the important and not the trivial.

There is nothing like acting "indian" or "native american".

If I and some more ppl told you that you look like Tom Cruise, would you start acting like him ? Many ppl say many things. Just be yourself.

just be yourself :) you shouldn't change yourself for anyone, so no you shouldnt tell people your native american cause your not, tell them what your real nationality is...you shouldnt have to change your race for someone or tell them your something your not...it just wouldnt be you...thats what I think :)
