Are you Paraguayan? Are you American? Do you speak English? Do you speak Spanish?

These are questions I am asked very frequently, in which I answer:
"No, yes/no, yes and yes. I am not Paraguayan. I am not strictly American nor am I strictly Mexican. I am Mexican-American. I was born and raised in the United States but my parents are from Mexico. I learned spanish at home growing up with parents who didnt speak english during my early childhood. Since I have lived my whole life in the United States, I speak 'perfect' english."
Most of the reactions are:
If they dont know I am from the States they simply speak to me in spanish and are pleasently surprised and a tad confused when they learn Im from the US.
When they learn im from the States only speak to me in english. When they learn I speak spanish, they are again surprised and begin speaking to me in spanish. Some stick to speaking to me in english.
If people hear me speak both languages without really knowing me they ask "Are you Paraguayan?", my explanation, then "AH yes I see." or in Spanish "Ha bien, ya veo." or "Do you have latin blood?" I answer "Yes, Mexican" then they say "Ah your Spanish is perfect! You speak very well.", in which I answer "Thanks, you too ;)"
There have been rare cases where people dont believe I can speak Spanish, even though they have heard me speak it, so they only speak to me in English and or "try" to speak to me in English.
There are Paraguayans that only speak to me in English. Even if I speak to them in Spanish. Those cases are usually people wanting to practice their English. A couple times when people meet me and learn im from the states, they will ask the missionary(that introduced me) in spanish questions about me. "What is her name?" "When did she get here?" Then I answer and they are very surprised. And vice versa. When people are told that I work for the church, those who can speak english, will ask about me in english while I'm standing right next to them. So I answer and we will all have a great laugh.
I get comments like "You dont look American." "Oh, I thought you were Paraguayan." "Im sorry Im confused. Where are you from?" "But you were born in the United States. THEREFORE you are American." "Oh cool! You're bicultural!"
Im often asked: "So how did you learn english/spanish?" "Can you cook Mexican food?" "Do you visit Mexico often?" "Do you have family in Mexico?" "Do your parents speak english?" "Youre Mexican but you've never lived there?" School/family. I spoke Spanish first and learned English in school. Yes I can cook Mexican food and I'm a GREAT cook." "Yes I visit Mexico once or twice each year." "Most of my family lives in Mexico." "My mother has no problems with english and my father does not speak english."
I really enjoy having that element of surprise! It makes meeting people exciting!

So theres an idea of "what its like" to be Latin American living in Latin America country yet learning and teaching different aspect of that classification.
