I've personally not had too many comments come from people irl. But I have heard online that I look French, Northern Italian and Eastern European. So I guess I'm from all over 😂
What do people say about your appearance and ethnicity? Do they think you're from a totally different place? Or do they barely miss their mark?
What do I look like?
Western Europe (UK, Ireland, France etc.)
Southern Europe (Spain, Italy, Greece etc.)
Central Europe (Germany, Switzerland, Austria etc.)
Northern Europe (Denmark, Norway etc.)
Eastern Europe (Ukraine, Bulgaria, Russia etc.)
I already know 🤓

Seems like I'm either French or Russian, according to the poll. 🤣
You look Portuguese or Northern Spanish I think, maybe Basque. And yeah I can also see the French, especially southern French!
As for me, other than my own ethnicity, I've had Persian, Jew, Lebanese, Turkish, Spanish/Portuguese and Latina. I've had other things but it's less common (like romanian or Saudi or Pakistani).
I have a portugese friend that looks similar to you this is why i made the connection i think and there are quite some French people with Portuguese or Spanish origins that I often meet
But i think you'd fit 100% in France , especially central france
I'm mixed race, but most people mistake me for being fully black because I'm dark skinned. Although I am majority black, but I also have Dutch and Cuban in me, too. (Not that I care.)
You look like a Dutch guy, but short (under 183 cm; like 177 or something). It's th long face and model-like looks. Like a J Crew model or somethin'.
Not so difficult to pinpoint me. Even if many might guess German that's still true in a sense, most go with Scandinavian at their first attempt. But if they hear me speak with them in English before they guess based on my appearance they often assume I'm British.
You do look Scandinavian in my opinion. I am actually middle eastern but people mistaken me as Russian or a Slavic girl in general. My skin is fair and I have high cheek bones and after my nose job, plenty of people mistook me as a foreigner even in my home country.
Swedish, Norwegian, French, German, Polish, Italian, Greek, Bulgarian, Czech, Spanish & Portuguese. I am usually mistaken as Italian and have had people speak Italian to me.
Ancestry - Ulster Scot (or Irish Scottish) / Southern German x Southern & Central French / Scottish.
I've been mistaken for almost every European. Even Russian.
But predominantly French, Italian as though fair I have southern ancestry & I don't burn I tan (my brother & father both tan ridiculously dark). West Slavic (my Romanian neighbor absolutely adores me).
A person can tell when they're mistaken for ethnicity when people try speaking their native language to you.
@7771999 actually in southern Afghanistan people have blue eyes and blonde hair because they are one of the descendants of the Aryan race that invaded the subcontinent. I'll link you that documentary when I find it an reach xPer 3.
@7771999 Pakistanis are a variety skin tones, there’s people in my family much lighter than me, similar to me, and a lot darker than me- we come in variety lol
Because of my tanned look, I am often thought to be from a Mediterranean country. I do have French ancestry, but my colour probably comes from ancestors from North Borneo.
I also find it interesting how many people think certain groups have natural brown skin. When in reality they have olive skin which is tanned because of the many sun days in their countries
Some people think im an Asian Mexican. Close enough tho. It's because i have Asian eyes and curly hair. I'm actually a Chinese/Spanish/Filipino. While Mexicans are indigenous people brown people mixed with the Spaniards, it's just like Philippines and both native people do look a like. And I just found out that there had been East Asians migrating in Mexico as well.
I can see you as being a French dude for some reason. For myself, no one's ever really commented on it. I'm from the usa but my heritage comes from Germany, England, Norway, Russia.

People assume I'm from eastern Europe a lot.
I've also been told I look like a skinny Dolph Lundgren, so I think people may be thinking of the Rocky movie and assuming russian.
Maybe one day I'll get this big just not any time soon.
I won't consider Kazakhs and eastern Turks as European but half of there land comes in Europe. I don't consider the entirety of Europe as equal. I don't like Spaniards, Portuguese, Italians, Bosnians, Albanians and Greeks.
A lot of Soviet captured p. o. w's now live good lives in Central Asia you know. My great grandfather got pardoned and sent to a very good place in Kyrgyzstan called Mailuu-Suu, a huge settlement for Germans where the Olympics were also hosted.
Until '53 he was in Minsk in Belarus, after Stalin things improved for the nation and USSR became a russian nationalist nation that robbed the countries it invaded for Russia's gain.
When I was going to school and still today, people think I was born in Mexico. I’m not Mexican, but I am Southern European. There are many differences between the two. I also have some Native American too.
Hahaha, no I'm not. I have brown skin, but many Greeks have brown skin. So, probably my feautures remind people those of African facial features I guess? I have been told that I have an "exotic" beauty, I still haven't fully unsterstood what is exotic about me
Depends. I've gotten mistaken for Dominican a few times before. Oddly, it's only when I have my hair curly lol. I've also gotten asked if I was mixed with Asian before.
1. That's offensive as fuck in my country 2. It literally means nothing. Everyone on the continent has white skin so it's useless calling me white because I'm not English, German or russian
You look white, like your from whitatopia. Lol calm down about ethnicity man, we are all the same ethnicty which is the human ethnicity , you got to remember everybody is related one way or another.
It was a joke man calm down you look cool man. Also I think you don’t understand white pepper don’t only come from Europe. I’m middle eastern and there are a lot of white people from there who were originally from there also.
Ya bro I’m from the Middle East and humanity originated from there as in afar and eve originally lived there and also white people. In reality white people in Europe were originally from Middle East and moved there
Well if you expect to see real Turks as Arabs/Middle Eastern, then you're getting wrong there. I am ethnically Turkish, I have my DNA results aswell which I had back in the day. Its pretty much normal to have similar look with people from Greece, Italy and around of it.. because we're a Mediterrenean country as they are. Also I don't think these countries should be considered as European or white, today you can't find a similarity between a Dutch/German and Italian/Greek, they are far from eachother.
These people are ''Turkic'' u saying but we are Turkish. It has a diffrence, its true that some of our people migrated to Anatolian Peninsula ( Turkey's location today ) from Central Asia but we got mixed in Anatolia. We are actually local people of Anatolia today such as Hittites, Hattis, Lydians, Troians, Pargamenese, Carians, Lycians and such, people who had always been here since the start.
When Turkic tribes came to Anatolia around 1071 AD, they were only around 200.000 and in a short time they conquered the region. They were strong, so the local people here started to speak their language and adopted their traditions. Today Turkish people are son of two civilizations.. Anatolian&Turkic, and they don't have anything to do with Europe.
According to DNA studies, in Turkey there are 2 DNA groups which exist a lot. One of them is J2b and other one is R1b, J2b is the DNA which represents the people of ''Levanten Crescent'' I mean people who had always been in the region since Calcolithic and Bronze Ages ( 1700-1250 BCEs ) and Turkic DNA is way too much less compared to these two, Asian DNA isn't even in top 3 lmao. However you're also right to think like that about us, since there are a lot of ignorants in my country who doesn't know about their background, nobody looks like to Chinese here and they don't have slanted eyes aswell, but they call theirselves as their descendants. In one way its true but not totally, we are Mediterrenean-Anatolians, thats our real background.
And I am talking about you saying ''You're not Turkish if you get mistaken for Europeans'' comment because according to what you believe in, I should look like a Central Asian If I am a Turk lmfao. I am saying its not like that how you think, thats because only less of Turkish people in Anatolia region got mixed with Turkics and not everyone. So Turkish people today who look Mediterrenean or South European are actually Local Anatolians who have ancestry from Hittites, Lydians, Troians, Pergamenese and such, the people who're real owners and natives of Anatolia region. These people were Mediterrenean and we're descendants of them, thats why our country is Mediterrenean country but not Asian or Middle Eastern and we don't look like Chinese. Thats not because we got mixed with Europeans, there are some people who got mixed with European aswell but its less.. we're mostly Natives of Anatolia, we aren't even cousins with Turkics.
I am German, Irish and Ukrainian. I was once mistaken for a knife wielding Hispanic male at night. I did not have a knife on me but I was running full speed at the guys who mistook me for a Hispanic, so fear may have altered their perception
Nope. You look like a typical white American or European. Only the Spanish eye shape and phenotype is different in some cases but for the rest of y'all, you look exactly the same.
I don't think I have ever been mistaken for my ethnicity. But some have said Pakistani and I didn't like that. And yes I don't know much about Europeans but, I don't think are any brown skinned ones
Arabs and Indians look mestizo as well. In fact a mestizo is the production of a white man with native Indian.
These men share my phenotype. If I wear that garbage they have on their head and clothing then I can fit right in and say I'm Arab and you won't have reason not to believe in.
Same for India. I can be in India and fit right in among the population from a physical standpoint.
You could look arab simply because there are arabs of all looks, but I wouldn't assume you're Arab if met you, maybe some of the Arabs that are mixed with black ancestry possibly
Arab is not really a race it's a pan-ethnic group that encompasses different populations. The criterias is that they speak Arabic and identify as such. This is why a lot of Arabized tribes in North Africa identify as Arab and would get offended if one questions that. Arabs in the Arabian peninsula themselves are not homogenous when it comes to their haplgroup. Phenotype isn't really a criteria in determining ones origins at the end of the day
I didn't move here, I was born here and I grew up here. If I went to China I'd have no idea how to even behave properly and I'd not be able to talk to people really. Do you see how saying I'm Chinese makes no sense. I'm not saying I'm not Asian but I am not Chinese.
You're either dense or being deliberately obtuse. I din't say it was about citizenship, I'm talking about culture. By your logic there's no such thing as an American because they originally came from other countries.
Literally no one would ever subscribe to than modernized definition. Just like 'nationality' now refers to where someone is just from. But not what ethnicity aka nation they belong to
