Semi inspired by another thread but I'm curious what other people think.

You can never guess! My best friend is Italian American (her paternal grandfather actually born in Italy and left there when he was sixteen) but actually her paternal grandmother is of English descent, her maternal grandmother was Polish and her maternal grandfather German. She looks, to me, a hundred percent Iranian/Arab (basically she looks like Princess Jasmine) and is always being stopped in airports for reasons which seem to be racially motivated. She could not believe people in the UK tended to see her as not white. Whenever we go to Camden Market or somewhere, Egyptian blokes on jewellery stalls ask her if she's Egyptian and give her free stuff.

You do look white British, wouldn’t have thought otherwise until you asked. You actually look a little bit like me and I’m half Irish/ English.

Maybe half Irish.

Feckmesideways · 27/10/2020 20:51

Half Middle Eastern/Half German?

PortiasPhantomPentanglePumpkin · 27/10/2020 20:52

Israeli

stella1know · 27/10/2020 20:52

German or Belgian?

PopsicleHustler · 27/10/2020 20:53

Turkish or middle eastern.

You look lovely btw. Nice complexion.

Mysterydna · 27/10/2020 20:56

A few have more or less got it right by now. But @edwardson was the first.

I'm half Native American (or Indigenous Mexican whichever way you want to call it) and half Syrian Jew.

I thought Greek? Maybe Cypriot?

DollyDally · 27/10/2020 20:58

Ha, sorry missed your post and I was very wrong!

whitianga · 27/10/2020 20:58

Where did your parents meet?

HollyRoadRaider · 27/10/2020 20:59

First thought Jewish.
Then I thought half Greek or Albanian.
Or maybe Iberian

MeMeMeYou · 27/10/2020 20:59

Irish

Octopaws · 27/10/2020 21:06

Greek!

MrsVeryTired · 27/10/2020 21:07

You are pretty, I'm guessing you look more like your Syrian parent rather than your Native Mexican. Interesting combination though. I'm Scottish/Eastern European and usually get mistaken for Italian/ assumed to be local when in most Mediterranean countries.

Elsiebear90 · 27/10/2020 21:10

I thought you were Greek or Italian!

CSIblonde · 27/10/2020 21:11

Half Spanish. You look very like someone I was at school with who was half British, half Spanish.

Summerfreeze · 27/10/2020 21:15

Cool heritage! How/where did your parents meet?

listsandbudgets · 27/10/2020 21:15

Not looking at other answers I would guess Middle Eastern
