How many people have you introduced to thought Ayumi was white?

When I first saw Ayumi, I knew she was asian, it was the shape and features of her face. But when I introduced her to a couple of my friends, they all thought that she was white....one of them thought that she was latino! How about you guys?

White as in Caucasian I believe you mean?

My parents said they think she looks quite European rather than Asian although they knew from the start she's from Japan. I never really thought about it myself.

No-one has ever thought that she was white when I've introduced them to her.

Never.

Most Asians knew her as a Japanese, but the rest thought she was Chinese.

the general consensus was just she was asian...but i did get one or two who thought she was white because of her non-stereotypical eyes and hair color.

I remember when i left my LOVEppears album at my cousins house and they were like "I was wondering who that naked white chick was?" but Ayu does have very close features to a caucasian when she had make up on with out it though she looks regular Japanese

Oh yes, I've had a large number of my friends become shocked to find out that she's Japanese. I wonder what my response would have been if I didn't know her.

No one I've introduced Ayu to has commented on her skin colour / nationality

No one. Though sometimes she can look a little "white", but her facial features are too different.
