I need advice.
I was raised in the UK by a white mother, though my dad is Arabic, Syrian, Turkish etc, thus making me mixed.
I have most of my father's features apart from having green eyes.
I remember I went on holiday to Turkey last year and I felt so out of place yet in at the same time, it's so weird. SadJust today I saw an appreciation type post for middle eastern women and I feel so whitewashed, yet like I don't belong in the UK if that makes sense.
I just wish I had brown eyes and the long wavy hair that they all have, nobody born middle eastern has green eyes, do they?
No other race has them naturally. I have so much hatred inside.
Sad I feel too different and it's so confusing for me.
I don't know who I am.
Does anybody else feel like this?

The people on Gibraltar were beautiful, to me. They had green eyes with Mediterranean colouring. Personally I think it's really beautiful combination.

Like the PPs have said, I don't think this is about your eye colour.

I live in the Middle East. Lots of people in his region of the world have light eyes. Afghans in particular are known for green eyes like someone else mentioned up thread.
