I too have received this more times than I care to count. When speaking on the phone to people they "assume" I'm white so you can imagine the initial shock they must go through when they actually meet me
I have also received comments about where I grew up and went to school. Co-workers say things like "Oh, I didn't know black people lived there?"

I will have to use that because on most occasions, I just shake my head, or say whatever

Yes, and it's sad to say but I have to agree with this as well.
