This trope is when a person of color is automatically assumed to be from the country of their ethnic origin (or someplace vaguely close to it), even though their speech, dress, and body language reflect the country they call home, because that's where they were born and raised. A common example would be an Asian-American being asked where they're from, asked about an aspect of an Asian culture (whether it's their own or not), or is assumed to not speak English, only for them to curtly respond in a plain American accent, "Dude I'm from Philly." Subtrope of Mistaken Nationality. Not to be confused with Fake Nationality, which is when the actor is a different nationality than the character they're portraying. Two inversions would be Fauxreigner, when a character is not foreign but plays up their ethnic background as a gimmick, and But Not Too Foreign, when the character really is from a different country, but the story goes out of its way to prove that they're "just like us." |

Bones: In one episode, Angela (half-Asian) finds an inscription in Chinese on a piece of evidence. When Hodgins asks her to translate it, she pretends to do it and tells him, "Why does white man think I read Chinese?" Hodgins is surprised, having assumed her to know at least some Chinese. She doesn't. Booth's brother Jared comes back from a trip to India with a new Indian girlfriend, Padme. After a double (not a) date with Bones, Booth comments that Padme's English is very good. She says "That's what happens when you grow up in Virginia." Jared then admits he set Booth up for it, since that's what little brothers do. |

They go to the next one but he only speaks Spanish. They come to a third one, an older African man in a turban, at which point they don't even bother and head back inside. Once they leave, the cabbie says in English with a British accent,note Meaning he was still a foreigner, just not the kind they assumed "I wonder what the devil they wanted..." | |

In Psych, the main character hires a Chinese-American assistant, fire him when they realize they have no need for one, and then consult him when they want to know about the local Chinese gangs. He tells them that he only speaks a few words in Chinese, and those are numbers. Inverted when they investigate a soul food/Thai fusion restaurant and speak to a very white-looking employee with a thick Thai accent. They accuse him of faking the accent offensively, only for him to tell them he was adopted and that's his natural manner of speaking. |

In It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Mac and Charlie were trying to write a movie to get to M. Night Shyamalan. When in the library, they decide they need a new writer, so they turn to the nearest Ambiguously Brown kid and ask him where he's from. When he just lists a US state, they say they mean where his parents are from...and he lists another US state. Eventually they suss it out that he's of Pakistani descent, which is close enough to Indian for them. | |

In the "Vaya Cornholio" episode of Beavis and Butt-Head, Beavis is working at Burger World and morphs into his Cornholio personality. While doing so, an immigration officer comes in looking for illegal immigrants. Because his blonde hair is pulled back by his shirt, he's speaking Spanish-sounding gibberish, and he doesn't answer the officer's English questions, Beavis is mistaken for an illegal, and is deported to Mexico. | |

Mean Time to Breakdown: Iwanako initially mistakes Molly for a foreigner. Molly is ethnically Indian but was raised (and likely born) in Japan. When Iwanako sees the blue-eyed, blonde Lilly, she thinks that she's a foreigner. It surprises her when Lilly speaks to her in fluent Japanese. Lilly is half-white (more specifically, half-Scottish) but is Japanese raised. |

Lisa Silverman from Persona 2 is a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl of wholly Caucasian ancestry. However, she was born and raised in Japan. This doesn't stop her classmates from thinking she must know English or is a transfer student from America. This example is more understandable than most, however, since Japan is a very homogeneous country in real life and Lisa's situation is far from the norm. | |
