Nani
Do you really look like Nani from Lilo and Stitch?

They guess right away that I'm Filipino and Japanese, though. I don't know...you decide. Still, I was 'Hawaiian' enough to get into the Kamehameha Schools...but that's another story.
And James, in most cases they'll be mistaken for Hawaiian only because the other islands of Polynesia (Tahiti, Samoa, etc.) had little or no contact with Asian travelers...not as much Hawaii, anyway.
If I hear someone say that all Hawaiian women look like Nani in Disney's "Lilo & Stitch" one more time, I'm going to scream.
