Is that not the point? Most people's comments about what you look like are totally off. Every country I have lived in, I am in my third, I have just been taken as a native, but in my native country my nationality gets questioned. I suppose a Swiss that speaks only English and has no French, German or Italian is odd.

Well i am egyptian so i usually get alot of different guesses as to what i am.. sometimes italian, sometimes greek and sometimes lebanese etc.. it doesnt bother me because when i tell them that i am egyptian they go"oooh ya its true u look really egyptian now" ...
i dont really care as to how other ppl perceive me in terms of physical features but i care more about what ppl might say in relation to my personality.. i like it when ppl refer to me as polite and loyal and funny.. other than that.. its all good

Arab,Gypsie,Arab,Gypsie,Arab,Arab,Arab,Gypsie ... that´s what am considered to be. I don´t mind to be called Arab(it´s true), but Gypsie ... ehm, it´s not so enjoyable (if you know Central European mentality) ...

I usually am percieved as British, Irish, or Spanish. Though last week, a girl thought I was a meztiso (lol- I guess she isn't used to tanned British Isles people.) I usually just associate with the Isles in general. I don't really associate with the German in me (its a small amount.) It is annoying, though, when people expect me to be a pale redhead since I have signifigant Irish ancestry. They can't understand that the British Isles have other "looks" native to them.

I'm British, Irish, and German by the way. People don't do a bad job classifying me ;D

Doesn't really matter...nobody guesses me for what I am. I get Jewish and "white, kind of" and it doesn't really bother me. Where do you live Anja? I think you look typical Spanish.
