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

To ask you what do you think is my ethnicity?

whatswithtodaytoday · 27/10/2020 21:28

You look like someone I know who is Ukranian, so I would have guessed that part of the world.

Twinkie01 · 27/10/2020 21:33

Arabic and Irish

MisfitRightIn · 27/10/2020 21:38

Thanks for the update OP. Great combination. Tell us how your parents met, if it’s not too outing.

Can't be much more outing than the photo surely.

Interesting OP you definitely cannot pass for white though. I wouldn’t of guessed your mix

Belleblush · 27/10/2020 21:52

Turkish? Armenian?

WhatifIfeellikeacat · 27/10/2020 21:58

Interesting mix. Your parents must have met in the USA?

The official term in modelling and the entertainment is “ethnically ambiguous”.
Be proud that you have so many heritages.

OwlBeThere · 27/10/2020 22:05

You look very like my friend who is part Inuit and part welsh so that’s what I would have guessed.
But it just shows that biology is a strange thing, My grandmother was from Japan, my grandfather (other side of the family) from Africa, my other grandparents were white welsh people, but you wouldn’t be able to tell either of my parents were anything other than white, except my mum had beautiful poker straight black hair and my dad tans pretty well Grin...I have monolids but that’s about it. My son however gets asked all the time if he’s adopted as he looks very Japanese. Ironic when no one ever asks his actually adopted siblings!!
Genetics work in weird ways!

ddl1 · 27/10/2020 22:08

I would guess some sort of Europaean/ Middle Eastern mixture. English and Arab (perhaps Lebanese)? Jewish of mixed Ashkenazi and Mizrahi descent?

nitsandwormsdodger · 27/10/2020 22:10

Saw glimpse of ginger hair and first thought Irish but it's dyed so I'd say you could be a mix of just about anything!
Middle Eastern
Russian
Lithuanian
Turkish
Syrian
Greek
Interested to know...

Tinyandpetite · 27/10/2020 22:11

Polish?

ddl1 · 27/10/2020 22:12

Ah, yes, I've just RTFT. I was right on the Middle Eastern/ Mizrahi part; didn't guess the other.

Rosehassometoes · 27/10/2020 22:14

Romanian or Bosnian

Rosehassometoes · 27/10/2020 22:14

Bulgarian I meant
