    Everybody mistakes my dad for Russian...Mostly Russians themselves.

    Even in Rome,an Indian guy thought my dad was Russian and asked him if he was one.When my dad said,"No,I'm a Turk",Indian guy said that:"Give me a Muslim salute for making me believe "

    My mother mostly gets mistaken as Italian and French also...

    I've been mistaken for German, Dutch, Russian and Irish at various points.

    I was not mistaken,but I've asked my collegues from work who have zero knowledge about Anthropology and Taxonomy where would they place me besides my current residence.

    Answers were:
    Greece
    Italy (they were probably having stereotypical Southern looks on their mind)
    Cyprus

    I guess that's what regular people connect with tan and Dinarid nose from profile.

    But after all,my answer was: ''Anyways,I'm too tall to fit in there''

    Oh yeah, I've forgotten an interesting one: Ashkenazi.

    I get mistaken for Jewish online more than in person. In real life I hear Balkan Slavic (Serb and Bulgarian usually), Armenian, and Greek.

    I was mistaken for Jewish online but I think just ignorant people with untrained eyes mistake me as one...

    Perhaps an atypical Askenazi with so much Khazar and Slav influence would fit my look
