I've been asked some of these "you're half German, how is that possible?" Is one of them. I'm half German but don't really look it. I can't tell you how many times I've had to say, "my fathers family is German and my mothers is Mexican". Hundreds, maybe thousands of times in my life. It all starts with an inquisitive look and then, "Clausnitzer's an interesting name..." Some of the examples clearly have to be jokes though IMO. At least, I hope so.
