If you are biracial like myself this question has proceeded many a conversation. In fact, for the racially ambiguous, the question "What are you?" is an unfortunate constant in our daily equation. While the question itself can be asked with the best of intentions let's be honest, every now and then we would like to respond with pure sarcasm. So here are a few creative responses for when you are tired of people asking "what" you are.

1. Human

Yes, as incredible as it sounds I am in fact flesh and blood like yourself!

This response I have actually used before so I should warn you, not everyone takes the hint. Follow up questions to this response include "No but where are you from?" and a strongly emphasized reiteration of the original question.

2. A Robot

The Great Siri has decided you humans need an upgrade. Your extermination will begin in T-minus 2 minutes. Have a nice day.

This one is best done with a strong monotone and unwavering eye contact. A bonus if you can incorporate jerky body movements and a lack of emotion. Of course, if done, for the sake of the internet, please record their facial reaction for the rest of us to enjoy.

3. Single & Ready To Mingle!

Feeling a bit lonely? Use this comeback! Not only will they be impressed by your wit but your inquirer might be in the same boat. This could lead to coffee which could lead to why asking what a person is is not okay. So not only do you get a date but you have educated one more person. Of course, you may not want to mingle with said person but hey, they have friends, right?

4. Broke

See there's this thing called student loans....

What better way to make others aware of your financial status? Think about it. This person could be a secret billionaire with a heart of gold, a genie looking for a master, a thief looking to lose some of their contraband! The possibilities are endless.

5. A Time Traveler

Because while robots are fun, time travel is better. Quickly take them aside and inform them that you have traveled from the future to warn them. When they ask of what, look them in the eye and say "Stupid questions will give you stupid answers" and disappear into your well-disguised TARDIS you have hidden in a corner.

So there they are, just a few fun little zingers for all my sarcastic friends out there. But don't let me have all the fun! Tell me your creative response in the comments below!
