Does Nick Markakis, Greek and German American, look part black?

[Sikeliot]

I find it VERY hard to believe he is just Greek and German.

He looks part black! I think he looks Puerto Rican.

His surname is Cretan btw.

Looks Semite-influenced. Some Cretans are like this. I've seen more exotic in other EU countries (southern Spain, etc.)

But he has Negroid influenced hair and is very dark. If I didn't know, I'd think he was Puerto Rican (some of them look like this)! Either way I do not think he looks fully Caucasoid, and I would be more likely to think he has a mixed grandparent.

I've never seen a semitic influenced greek , I've seen turkish and even armenian looking greeks but not ones that have Orientalid features like John turturro or Teresa Marino or Carlo gambino

Crete has a few but then again they're genetically closer to Sicilians and Calabrese than to other Greeks.

[Latinus]

No, just a very exotic and atypical Southern European.

No way South Spaniards look like that.

He could pass as a very atypical native of Crete.

However as he is from the USA we cannot rule out any other additional ancestry besides the two that you mentioned.

No it’s not exclusively Cretan. Show us a pic of his parents. His father or mother may be mixed too.

He looks rather like a Greek and Syrian mix. No trace of German.

[Livin]

Cretans do not look like this.

!He got obviously some ssa admixture!

[Papastratosels26]

I would say the hair is more similar to North Africans, I have never seen a Greek with such curly hair before. The facial features though, very Semitic as others have said, especially in the second last picture, reminds me of some Lebanese I have seen in Australia.

I wouldn't assume him to be mixed race though.

Those are not his parents. Provide a link

[Bobby Martnen]

I could buy a full Cretan looking this way, but 1/2 Cretan, 1/2 Euro. It pushes the limits, bruh

[FilhoV]

Yes they are

He doesn't resemble those two at all. He looks like a Saharid/South Med person from North Africa.

[Hadouken]

I see no ssa

looks rather MENA

[Voskos]

Yes. His Greek dad looks Jewish.
