If you didn't knew what race he is what would be your guess?

Googled him. He looks pretty damn Mediterranean. Maybe a speck of west Europe in it.
I can't for the life of me see anything brown there.

I also went and googled up his ancestry and you know what? Pakistan and Brit. No black there. You're all high on something.

[Asker]

How do Mediterranean people look? You mean like Arab... also who said anything about Black?

[Opinion Owner]

Brown. Black. Same thing if you're comparing it to white you're making it a question of racial belonging.

Pretty much like most arabs, yes. Which is what he looks like. Which is normally categorized as white. Never categorized as brown. He also doesn't have any noticeable racial traits that aren't white.

[Asker]

Lol what Brown and Black are totally different races, and the question was based on race only. Brown people can look white and Black people can look brown but their race stays the same... Arabs are not white also it is a completely different race no matter how they look.

[Opinion Owner]

You evidently do not know what race is but I'll explain. In terms of race there is only three: Caucasian/Mongolian/Negroid. Out of these he is Caucasian which corresponds to white. No point arguing there since he looks the part and has the ancestry (and yes Arabs are Caucasian too).

If you instead want to define it by ethnicity then he is Pakistani or arab. And Arabic is the main language and ethnicity of Pakistan. It is also where his facial features mostly come from.

[Asker]

"There are only three races"
*facepalm didn't read anything after that*

[Opinion Owner]

The fact that you're asking about race while not knowing what race is and then insulting people for attempting to correctly answer your question is astounding. I'm done with you mate. Everything I did write here was correct though. If you want to go and invent things of your own online that is your prerogative.

[Zaranadeem123]

Actually, URDU is the main language of Pakistan, and Pakistanis are considered as brown. He knows how to speak URDU, not Arabic, but understands both. Even if you are half British, you are also half Pakistani, so you are half brown.

[Tomtrevs]

Pakistani are not Caucasian, they are brown

[Tomtrevs]

Every Pakistanis are brown and not white

[alphadoggystyle]

he looks more brown/south Asian than he looks white.

[LittleSally]

He's Arabic, right?
White... but with olive complexion.

[FemaleAssassin]

Half white, half pakistani.

[Asker]

Yeah he is half white half paki

[Asker]

But the question was if you didn't knew what race he is, what would be your guess

[LittleSally]

I said Arabic. I never knew what race he was. Race - white, ethnicity - Arabic. That's what I'd say.

[Asker]

Arabs cannot be white, even though they look like one... Arab is a different race altogether

[FemaleAssassin]

*SOME look white not all

[LittleSally]

No, it's a different ethnicity...

[Table20]

paki does not equal arab

[LittleSally]

@Table20 Who said that? I said I would've guessed he was Arabian...

[Table20]

oh ok. i got you

[abundantlyrich]

Yeah still more on the white side.

[Tomtrevs]

I used to think that he was Arab , but he's not

[Ephemera1]

He's white. Only reason people say he's brown is because he's from Pakistan.

[Asker]

But people from Pakistan are not white even when their skin color is white

[Ephemera1]

When I say white I refer to skin color.

[Asker]

Nope I'm talking from race perspective

[Saoirse_Nua]

I thought he was Middle Eastern in background (Brown)

[Asker]

Yup he's half Pakistani

[Thrifty]

Zayn is Muslim and a brownie, but I wouldn't have guessed Gigi was too.

[Asker]

Muslim and Brown can be mutually exclusive you know that right?

[Anonymous]

I think he's mix, he got white mom and Pakistani dad. Not brown in my eyes, I don't know

[Asker]

What does he look like, if you didn't know his ancestry what would be your guess?

[Opinion Owner]

he's Pakistani. Im from south asia so, i don't think he's brown.

[Asker]

Last time I checked Pakis can be brown too

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah, but he's not brown as us. :P

[Asker]

So just say you consider him to be white

[Opinion Owner]

But he's not white, its different, i won't say chinese, japanese or korean people white just because they have whiter skin than other Asian.

[Asker]

Yeah so he's brown... you seem to be confused, just let it go

[abundantlyrich]

Skin colour wise? White

[Asker]

Nope, race wise

[abundantlyrich]

he's part white.

[Tanairy328]

He's brown, plain and simple.

[palek]

I'm pretty sure he's Chinese.

[blessed_curse]

He is half white and half brown.

[Asker]

What does he look predominantly?

[blessed_curse]

He looks more Paki than British to me

[Asker]

Yeah to me too

[helloitsmethere]

Ummm... he is half Pakistani

[Cosytoasty]

He's both

[Asker]

What does he look like? I mean predominantly

[Cosytoasty]
