Jefe, Warning or Aiko could probably help clarify this further.....but Turks are different from Arabs (Hezbollah being a Lebanaese based terrorist organization). They probably think they look about as different as say Koreans think they look from Vietnamese.
And anyway I seen your picture....U look more German/mixed than Middle Eastern.

It's a very grainy picture. When I used to go outside (before college), I had fairly dark skin, and some people would start speaking Arabic to me. I wish my eyes were a bit more slanty...some people are OBVIOUSLY half-asian. I ain't one of those.
As Salaam Aleikum ^_^

I'm more Asian looking (of course, I'm only 1/4 Caucasian), but I do have a lot of subtle Caucasian traits, I guess. I chose Asian-looking EA, but most Asians and Eurasians say I look very mixed. So I picked "Asian looking," but I guess I'm more in-between. White people often perceive me as just a very white-washed Asian girl who happens to look very "non-ethnic." Somehow, because I "don't look very Asian for an Asian girl," they are a bit more accepting to me. Asians usually think that I'm mixed, or they also say that I'm another Asian chick who happens to look different. On occasion, an Asian person will tell me that I look white  (ummmm...I don't know about that....I have Asian-looking eyes, IMO...but I also have freckles, a "white nose," and dark brown hair). Other EAs usually seem to recognize that I'm mixed. Oh yea--you know how a lot of Latinos mistaken EAs for hispanics?? Interestingly enough, the opposite happened to me on occasion--in the past, a few hispanic people have asked me if I was half-white. I'm sure that most people...think I'm Asian though. ....Okay, now I've confused myself. I'm not sure anymore..... |

Banana.....I want to know how you would WANT to look or how you would want people to see you as if you had a choice....and why. Sog.......it is the opposite for me....I could see my own avatar here....but not the other site. Now I can see it at both because I am using the same source. That's why it's sooo big at the other site right now. I still can't see yours at either. This stuff sucks!!  |

sounds like u are more "mixed" looking...
i definently look more asian... yellow skin, black hair, dark eyes.
but european features.... big nose, round eyes.... semi tall and medium weight....hairy legs...
i can pass off as asian among whiteys....
but not among asians. altho, at the start i can... but then they usually say, u don't look fully asian...
happened in china, when i was trying to pass off myself as chinese to get somehting cheaper (pity i can't speak the language properly haha!!) but she kept mentioning my big nose and eyes.
some ppl tell me they didn't know what i was.
"i just never thought of it" hmmmmm

i kinda look more caucasian i guess......some people think i look welsh, italian, spanish or just "european"....SOME people how have seen other mixed people before and can guess what i am to a degree......rarely, i've been thought to be japanese or chinese....most of time time people have no idea whatsoever......hehehe......
body wise i am utterly slim, much like an asian (er, yes, no hour glass figure here) but i'm pretty white/ pale.......i have pure black hair but it's thick and wavy! so i guess i'm just a mix-but i defintely am not one of the asian lookin EAs.....(sometimes i wish i had asian hair-cuz some of them can be straight and fine)

So Miyuki, what's so good about it?? You don't get stares in Japan?? I like having really dark hair and eyes. Don't know why, but I've always liked being coloured like this. I think I've just always been glad to not have wishy-washy colouring. I don't really get stared at in Japan, I guess that's a good thing. |

If you are talking about Miyuki, then I guess I am not either!! My hair and eyes are pretty dark too. By the way....is that "Batman" in the front of that crowd?? You know the one in the white shirt hugging (and maybe about to kiss) the one in the black shirt?? |
