I was reading about Anglo-Indians on Wikipedia and there was a list of notable people of Anglo-Indian descent. Anglo-Indian is defined here as 'people from mixed British and Indian ancestry'.

I had a look at pictures of people listed, for most of them it was quite clear that they weren't completely European.

One guy on the list however is called Timo Räisänen, a singer in Sweden. According to Wikipedia his father is ethnic Finnish and his mother is half Anglo-Indian and half Swedish. So that would make him 1/4th Indian.

Here are some pictures of him:

It would have never have crossed my mind to think that he was nothing other than completely European. I was very surprised when I saw this.

If I had to be super observant I guess I could say that there is something about his facial structure, thick hair and drooped earlobes that hint to something none European. Kind of reminds me of this guy:

What do others make of it? Would you honestly guess he had non-white blood if you didn't know?
