people have told me that I look Aramean and I remember having to look it up..still not sure if it's a compliment or not but I'll take it

White people with for lack of better words, “neantherdalish features” come across as black mixed cause it gives them curlier hair and wider nose lol

A few thought I was Greek when I was younger but im British/Australia/Irish.

 

Maybe bc I was such a hairy kid :laugh:

Happens to me a lot. I'm latino, and it's usually non-latino who always ask me if I'm Asian or half Asian. This old Jewish woman at my job  yesterday asked if I was oriental, and I had to tell her nope. I've even had some Asian people think I'm Asian too. My 23andme says I'm 59.7% Southern European (italian+spaniard) and 34% Native American so im assuming it's the native American side thats making people think I look Asian or part Asian. I've even been in Vegas a few years back and had these 2 guys say a bunch of Asian slurs to me as I walked by them, it didn't affect me because I'm not Asian but I felt really bad at how racist it was though. 

I'm Asian (Southeast hence the tanned skin) and get Latino as well lol. We really do lowkey look alike though ngl. Some of my friends say I look like a mix of Japanese/Korean (because I have Asian eyes) and (somewhat) Italian. :lmao:

No but I thought Agnes was black until I found out that she's just blackfishing :thing:

Agnes has always had somewhat of a slightly darker complexion even during her old eras going way back to 2006.

If she has mixed ancestry within her family background, I wouldn't be surprised.

Sometimes. Im latino lookin but sometimes people have questioned what is my race. I'm from a White-Native American-Middle Eastern-Black background from my great grandparents side, so i look a little bit ambiguous. :gaycat4:

No, but I guess because this is mostly just an American thing. Where I live we don't go guessing which race/ethnicity people are unless they tell us, because mestizaje is way too strong (that doesn't stop some people from calling nicknames and even some slurs to other people based in their appearance tho, but that's another story :rip:)

It may not be any of us, but it happens to Bruno Mars, Nicole Scherzinger, Vanessa Hudgens and Olivia Rodrigo. A lot of people really confused them for Latino, Mexican; or just any other different ethnicity or race in the world.

Disney is the one to blame in Vanessa's case, they made her Latina in HSM :gaycat6:
