Ok what ethnicity do you look?
I uhh judge for yourself. I don't think I look really anything, I got bright blue eyes like a Scanadivan but dark hair like a more southern-eastern european. I tan pretty well in summer when I get a lot of sun so again thats more southern european.

3. I guess I look what I mostly am, Irish
Reddish-brown hair, blue eyes and very fair skin. I certainly don't look 1/8 Cherokee, but I supposedly am.

7. When I was in Norway, they thought I was Norwegian
When I was in England, I was taken for English. I am pale and burn like a mofo.

So I guess I look really white.

you'd pass for a native till you opened you mouth, like me. I was always pegged for Canadian once I talked in England.

41. Me too. But is this weird? Everywhere I go--everywhere--
Aruba, Caymans, Holland,to name a few--people assume I'm Dutch (which I am and it's obvious) or that I live wherever we are. I get asked for directions EVERYWHERE.

15. Surprised to see your picture Johnny
I was imagining you very blond. Don't ask me why.

When I was living in Vancouver BC people thought I was a native Amerindian. In Cincinnati some told me I looked like a Lebanese. others told me I had a Mediterranean look.

I have dark skin, dark eyes, dark hair and a strong nose.

19. HA! Actually my beard is half blonde when I grow it
Edited on Sun Jan-09-05 07:42 AM by jdonaldball
Beard is mixed of blonde and red. Hair, thick, longish, a bit wavy, and dark brown with hints of red, like a Celt. Green eyes. I'm about half Celtic and half Germanic with a touch of Jew and whatever else the Romans imported to the British Isles.
How did you know my name was John? :-)
On edit - oh, you meant John Kleeb. But your reply was to me.

16. I always thought I looked Italian, but everybody thinks I'm Irish.
Medium brown hair, green eyes, light skin. I am 5/8 Italian, some of it northern, some southern, Scotch/Irish English and French. Enjoyed your picture. You're a young guy with an old soul, then.

27. I have often been mistaken for several
I have very dark brown, almost black hair (some gray when I allow ;) ), dark brown eyes, I tan easily. In my youth I loved to tan so could get very dark. As a 40 yo I try to stay out of the sun so now I have light skin.

Throughout the years I have been mistaken for Italian, Hispanic, Middle Eastern. I have had people come up to me and just start talking in their language.

I am told that my coloring and looks comes from Cherokee Indian on my mother's side. My father's side descended from England, they actually came over on the Mayflower. I am a direct descendant of the Winslow lineage.

28. People always think I'm Italian
Even when I was in Italy, they would walk up to me and start rambling in Italian, which helped me learn the language. But I'm Colombian-American.

29. I Look Irish
Edited on Sun Jan-09-05 11:50 AM by CO Liberal
Here's a recent photo of myself:



I got the red hair from my mother's side of the family - it's a recessive gene, and I was the first (and only) child in two generations to get it. But since my dad was 100% Lithuanian and Mom was only part-Irish, I'm actually more Lithuanian than anything else.

Of course I'm not asking you personally, Mr. S. But I don't think so! About a week ago, I watched The Song Remains the Same on TCM and was transfixed.

When I was in Spain, people would come up to me and start rambling in Spanish like I was a native. My Spanish is good, but not *that* good!

I am half Italian, and can't wait to go to Italy someday to see if it fools people there too ;)
