    I think you could look more Italian than Mexican (and I is Mexican). OR even look more Spanish than Mexican.

    Nobody EVER thinks I'm Mexican. Not with my nappy/curly hair.

    right? plus I'm 6'0 and have an accent... when I speak spanish. I have an accent that isn't typical of any spanish speaking region.

    I am 1/2 Jew, 1/2 German (I know, scary mix right?) and no I would say French or Mediterranean.

    I would say the same.

    I'm 1/2 Jew, 1/2 Italian (RUN!) and I look... Irish? Nerp.

    The first time I saw you around the forums I definitely thought you were Jewish until I saw the name. Lol It's gotta be the nose shape and hair mostly.
    My old username was Zeraus (my lastname backwards) so it made me even more ethnically ambiguous.

    oh yeahhh that's right! that might have been a part of it too lol

    1st guess is typically Puerto Rican, Mixed latino w/black, Cuban. What's funny is sometimes I don't understand PR's when they talk... they talk to friggin' fast/choppy and you know we MexCans talk slooooow and exaggerated.

    I'm Jewish. I wouldn't pinpoint you to be Jewish if you asked. It's most likely your dark features, I guess. I say you look more Spanish

    I can see why people would say you look Jewish. You're pretty white for a Mexican :laugh:

    BTW, I wish I were a Mexican... beautiful country, beautiful language... but my albinoid body would beg to differ :ohwell:

    I've also been asked in real life, if I am:

    Greek
    Brasilian
    French or Spanish (which I am in part)
    Jew
    Puerto Rican
    Scottish
    Russian (really? I am a bit too tan to be Russian).

    And my German teacher said I could pass as German from a certain region (can't remember the name).

    She called you a Mongoloid? Or a Tatar? Or a Gypsy?

    I can't tell someone's ethnicity by looking at them, although I can say if they have archaic traits, e.g. if they look slightly neanderthal or if they have Homo erectus cheekbones or something. That's probably from being a palaeoanthroplogy nerd.

    my dad's mum's mum's mum was Jewish, and I've been told in the past that I look Jewish, but since I've lived in the Arab world and I attempt to speak Arabic (albeit badly), I've been told I look Lebanese, Syrian, Jordanian and/or Palestinian. Personally I think of the pic posted earlier in the thread to illustrate the "Jewish nose" that this nose looks very Saudi, i.e. I've seen many Saudis with this nose shape. I can't tell the difference between Arabs and Jews just by looking, except by distinctive clothing, e.g. in the Gulf you know if someone's Saudi by the fact they're wearing a white thobe plus red and white Saudi shmagh (different nationalities have different style shmaghs and some ethnic groups, e.g. bedouin, wear them in a distinctive way)

    Saudi man with a similar nose shape to the man in the earlier pic:
