Hehe gelaye, you have the same problem as me I have been confused for 101 different ethnicities too. I can list some: Asian: chinese, japanese, vietnamese, phillipino, chukchi, evenk, mongol, etc. European: russian, finnish, swedish, german, dane, saami, spanish etc. American: eskimo, amerindian. One question - would you regard me as person of mixed race?

If you were just Khanty, I'd say you were Other, but since you're a mix of Khanty and Latvian, then yes, I'd say you are of mixed race.

Personally i've seen your face and you can pass for russian baltic finnish, yes, but not for a real and pure mongolid asian, of course

well actually if you read my post I said that I dont have extremoid features, so there is no way I would ACTUALLY look chinese if you placed me next to a tibetan monk or a real eskimo, and I pass as a med that happens to have 'squinty' eyes.

Gelaye, the fact that you pass for several ethnicities is simply indicative of your mixed heritage. It's often quite hard to place people of racially mixed heritage since they have features which come from their different components. Still, you honestly don't look Med at all. I honestly thought you were East Asian when I first saw your pic. I suppose it can be explained through the fact that your father has some Lapp influence via his (Finnish?) ancestry, combined with darker pigmentation through your mother's Ethiopian heritage, giving you your East Asian-like appearance.

Lappid and East Baltid are the next closest established subtypes I know of. Genetically and phenotypically the distances are far far greater with Baltid and Westsibirid than with Skandonordid and Atlantid, even though they're at similar distances in the map. That is, the distances are arbitrary on that map. And not all the connections imply the same thing. For example, the relation between Pamirid and Tungid, a fully mongolid type is nothing other than a contact type--Aralid--which is not really a type in itself, and which includes other Europid types as well in it.

They should be classified as how they look and that's how people usually treat them. I know chinese-european mixes that look more chinese than european and they get treated like any other asians. On the other hand i know some pakistani-white mixes who get treated like whites because of how they look. Your opinion of a person doesn't change once you find out their race but you can have preconcieved notions about people based on what race they appear to be.

I have a question, how come there is no name for people who are half-hispanic/half-non-hispanic? White/Asian mixed people are called Eurasians, Black/white mixed people are called Mullatoes or biracial, but what do you call some one who's half Mexican and half white or half black? Or half Puerto Rican and half white? I think there should be a name for hispanic/non-hispanic mixed people because they will definetly be the most common mixed race in the future(if there not already) because already about 50% of interracial relationships in the U.S. are made up of hispanic/non-hispanic couples.

Your question is interesting, but very complex. Hispanics aren't a racial group, rather a cultural one. In theory they can belong to any race. Besides, remember well, hispanic culture has a concept of race different from the anglo-saxon one ; In hispanic world, never existed concepts like the "one drop rule" or other similar things : if a people looks white (less or more) that people IS white. That's all. Like you can imagine, th racial range of Hispanics is VERY wide................there are all kinds of shades and facial traits. You can't generalize. U.S. CENSUS, labels all these peoples like "Hispanic", but All depends from the country of origin : Mexico for example is largely Mestizo (indian-White), while Cuba and puerto Rico are largely mediterranean white + Mulattos (black white) You can see any sort of strange combination, believe me So........, Hispanic + white ? Well, nobody could say the result. Of course many of these unions generate people predominantly caucasian, since Mestizos (for example) are already 50% white, so a Mestizo + caucasian is supposedly 75% white and 1/4 indian.

I just saw a boy whose father is Mexican and his mother American...he appeared just as Mexican as his cousin. Apparently they were predominantly Aztec based on their appearance so he was Mestizo but looked like the average "hispanic"
