Do you look different than your ethnicity?

[TheMan]

Iam mexican and the majority of people I meet think iam white, other mexicans even ask me how I learned spanish.

The funny thing is most people in the US think all Mexicans look Amerindian, if you travel to Mexico, you'll see lot's of Mexicans with more European ancestry than Native blood, especially in the Northern states. Most people from south of the border who imigrated here were poor peasants of more indigenous stock, which is what the stereotypical Chicano look is, a mestizo.

i'm muzzie but my grandpa (on dad's side) looks flat out European white and my mom looks more Koreanish so i can pass for Filipino, Rican, Arab, Light Skinned Black, Indian (both red dot and feather), even Sicilian in teh winter.


edit: Surprise surprise everyone from this thread is some shade of brown. Lot of genetic variation from Indo Europeans and Mestizos eh. U fukkers speak your native language or you let the white devils overlord ya

also u'll hear "all asians look alike" but never any of the others hehe.

i think Africans need some leeway when it comes to people thinking they are some uniform community. they've got big variation too. Big difference between Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia... then the pygmy tribes.. then Congolese.. etc. Dudes from Captain Phlip look nothing like Dasher who looks nothing like Djimon Hounssou who looks nothig like kevin garnett who looks nothing like taye diggs for example.

Probably because a lot of the Northern Indians and Pakistanis came from Persia a long time ago.
