Well, I think you look like you don't belong because you're the only Asian woman and the others are all white guys. Seems pretty obvious to me!

Flippancy aside, my first two thoughts were:

a) ayup, never going to Eastercon

b) I wonder if you'd have better gender balance at a science panel at an Asian convention. I'm inclined to think so because I haven't observed the same focused funnelling of women into the arts and men into the sciences in the Asian cultures I'm familiar with as there is in the UK/US. But, y'know, anecdata.
