I am half polish quarter American and quarter English.....I can honestly say that I know what she means about the Polish side....it's the nose and the mouth...you can pick us out of a crowd anywhere lol!!!
Not sure about the welsh...will have to take a better look at my step children!!
I work with about 30 polish people and they all look different, and whisper it, some of them are black! Shhhhh
And I was about to say they probably don't look like me. Foiled again!0 -
I'm Polish. I have dark blond ( sandy?) hair, pale complexion, dark blue eyes, plump lips ( lower lip quite fat), small to medium nose, no distinct cheekbones . My face seems a bit flat possibly losing weight would add dimension to it.I look like a lot of Polish girls, but of course there are a lot of Polish people who look different then I do. I cant say I look very different than many other people here in US, well maybe they take a look and can see I'm Polish. Nobody yet told me I look Polish.0

Some of the responses on here are hilarious. Primarily the ones insinuating that where a person is from does not or cannot matter in regards to looks. I live in a city that is heavily only 1st or 2nd gen Canadian and so our 'backgrounds' come into convo often. You can ABSOLUTELY apply certain physical charcteristics to certain peoples. Of course its not applicable to everyone but there are 100% hints if someone takes on said characteristics. Not all do. I can pick a Croatian out of a crowd, a Polish, etc.
To say its racist is downright dumb. Its simple physiology and science. Each country has its own 'stereotypical' feature...some have height, squarer heads, bigger noses, etc.
Yes, a person can 'look' Polish.
Obviously the people saying otherwise haven't traveled to diff countries in Europe. HELL YES there can be indications physically.0 -

1/2 welsh do I look like it?0

Welsh or "celts" traditionally have more rugged features, this is also true of the Scot's & Irish.
Agreed.0 -
< Irish, German, Scottish, English, Austrian, Polish, French and Dutch....
mostly Irish and German. I've always been told I have very Irish features (Pale. Green eyes, Light brown hair, Freckles, and apparently an "irish chin") but my husband says my main bones are Germanic in size. my extremities are very small, but my ribs, hips, etc. stick out because I guess they're larger.0 -
Funny, I went into a family diner and this little old lady told me I had very Polish lips and nose and a very Welsh and Irish shape of my face... I'm not sure I've ever been able to pick out these features on anyone else or what makes them stand out of a crowd... but the lady was right, I am.
Please help me with a description/pictures!
What a very rude old lady!Some of the responses on here are hilarious. Primarily the ones insinuating that where a person is from does not or cannot matter in regards to looks.

I totally agree. It's verging on racism, IMO.
If one can accept the existence of genetic diversity across regions, and recognize that familial characteristics are shared; then one must accept that Asians, Africans, Indians, Teutons, American Indians, Mexicans & (too many more to cite) all have features that may indicate one's bloodline.
Political correctness is nothing more than another means of oppression. Allow us to enjoy our differences without the ignorant racist accusation BS.
I so much agree! It's a form of oppression. Let's celebrate the differences.0 -

Google "osteology". There are specific traits (bone shape, eye color, hair color, etc) associated with each region of the world. It has nothing to do with racism. It's BIOLOGY.
Forensic anthropologists often use these traits to help identify unidentified bones/corpses. For example, if they know a skeleton is Nordic, they'll give them blue eyes and blonde hair in a sketch.0 -

I am part Polish (and Ukrainian) and part Irish (amongst other British countries) but was born and raised in Toronto, Canada. I couldn't have told you what a "typical" Polish person looked like until I went to a Polish festival a few years ago and realized I was surrounded by people with similar features to mine; primarily the round face and light eyes. My maternal side is of Irish descent, and I got my freckles and a few red streaks in my hair from there.

I am Irish, Ukrainian and Romanian0

From my mother's side I am part German, French and Native American. I do not know anything about my biological father's side. The father who raised me is 100% Irish, so I joke I got my freckles and reddish hair from his side of the family.
Based on my picture, does anything about my background stand out to you?0 -
All I know is I'm part German. I don't know anything from my dad's side or much from my mom's0
-
I'm half Polish/Ukrainian
the only thing Polish about me is my last name lol0 -
I'm about an even split of German/Polish....not sure which features are which.0

you couldn't be more wrong. unless you are saying that if two Nigerians move to Japan and have a baby that it wont look traditionally Japanese. but thats just stating the obvious.
as people migrated out of Africa and settled all over the world natural selection made people adapt to where they lived and thus startred to look a certain way. among other factors as well..0 -
<~~~ 100% Polish0

I'm a Heinz 57 as my grandpa used to say. Irish, Dutch, Welsh, and Scottish.0

maternal: German (primarily) with a touch of tribal American and emancipated slave
I have a proud heritage, I just don't show it all.0 -

That. Your heritage plays a huge role in your appearance, it's called evolution (learned in 7th grade biology). To clarify, your appearance is impacted by the regions of the world from which your heritage initiates country boarders are man made things that don't necessarily follow the natural boundaries layed out by region. From there you are more likely to favor which ever traits have the greater dominance for genetic markers, not to say that only dominant genes are favored.0
