People think i have native American, Asian, black and white cuz of my small nose and my slanted eyes and my high cheek. What people think u look like?
What kind of race a lot of people thought u look like?
The Navajo tribe has predominantly Asiatic features.
The first of these girls is full-blooded Navajo. The second, whose features are kinda vaguely reminiscent of mine, is some majority fraction Navajo:

Because I'm 1/4 Navajo, I get mistaken for having "the international look" -- in other words, for being "hapa", or half-Asian -- ALL THE TIME. (The rest of me is mostly Latina, some white, maybe a little bit of black, we aren't quite sure about that last eighth.)
In fact, ironically, I first got scouted for modeling work by someone who thought I was an "international school kid". Literally, picked off the street in Santa Monica, by some dude recruiting talent for agencies in Tokyo and HK. I'm like, nope, I'm from a few miles down PCH. LOL
... but, 19 days later -- and, knowing exactly as much Japanese as I could learn in 19 days -- my ass was on a plane to Tokyo. Fun times.
Unsurprisingly, other (part-) Navajo people are correctly able to identify this piece of my ethnicity.
Most people are also really shitty at guessing the Mexican part of me, because most people are not aware that there are tall, light-skinned Mexicans. (My paternal grandfather was about 6'5"-6'6" and looked kinda like former Mexican president Vicente Fox.)

I've had a few people ask me if I was mixed with Asian before. And Dominican. But for the most part, people guess that I'm black.

Indonesian or Malaysian!!!
But I can't blame them because my ethnicity kinda has a resemblance on both of them
People know I'm white but they tend to ask my ethic heritage to figure out why I'm so big... I'm 6'3", broad shoulder/muscular... When I list them off there like ah it's because you're a Native American Warrior, or ah it's because you're a Swedish Viking, or Germanic Barbarian. *smh*

The pix on the profile of @Tiger288 is too small to allow me to take a close look, so I would have to go with negro.
Nobody has ever been confused about me. Blonde, green eyes, classic Germanic face and physique. -
Either they guess East Asian, or a white and East Asian mix. 😂
Yeah, I have small eyes and darker features, but I don't think I look something other than white. 😶 -
Most people guess correctly. But when they get it wrong they usually get Dominican, puerto rican, columbian. Few people said mexican, but that was in texas where were a ton of them.
