Are you Jamaican?

LOL. So today I was at Women's Soccer Practice @ OSU, and I was asked by a coach if I was Jamaican. I had my hair in an afro, with a headband around the front, and I believe that this is why he asked me. I'm not offended or anything, I just think it's kinda funny that others feel that my hair makes me look "exotic" or something like that. Because I guess "normal" Black girls don't wear their hair in afros, so I must be from another country.. I mean I guess the dark complexion of my skin plus my natural hair could make some, more "sheltered" people think that I was from another place... Hmmm I wonder what people will ask when my hair gets longer and I do twists or rodsets or something else like that.
While we're on the subject of people thinking I'm from different places, there is this maintenance guy who works in my dorm who asked me pretty much everyday that I was here last year if I was going back to Kenya for whatever break was coming up. I am pretty sure he is African, and he is just dead-set on believing that I'm from Kenya. I have told him soooo many times that I'M FROM CLEVELAND I am not African. But when I got here last week, he asked, "Is this your mom? Is she from Kenya too?" and I was like "We aren't Kenyan sir. My Mom was born in America. We have never even been to Africa." He just doesn't believe me though I guess... Oh well.
