Do I look particularly west Asian for my ancestry? This is something someone commented on this thread https://www.theapricity.com/forum/showthread.php?309166-Post-your-23andMe-results-Photo-of-yourself/page10
But in the picture he replied to I had a beard and long hair, now I’m shaved and have short hair so I want to see if this still holds true or if you even agree with him in the first place...

Yes. You could pass for fully Middle Eastern.

Interesting considering I’m between 3-10% mid-Eastern at most (10% coming from the 40% west Asian in the jewish) I guess when the great purges happen and whites are being killed left and right I’ll pretend I’m Lebanese or something

Well, I think that he looks kinda weird or something. I mean, I think that I still look west asian regardless of my pigmentation:

I think I would. I mean, if I ever wanted to go to America, I can able to integrate and even assimilate among White American people without much trouble since I'm a Christian and all. I mean, I ever wanted to assimilate then I would abandon my Arab ethnic identity behind.

Your ancestry is so incredibly mixed! To me you look Jewish. In fact you could probably pass as a light ancient Israelite too.

interesting idea, but my ancestry simplified as on a tree would go as follows: ~1/2 british isles (mostly from my mom, but also a little from my dad), ~1/4 german (from my dad), 3/8 ashkenazi (from my dad), 1/8 sephardi (from my dad), a little french from both sides, likely less then a 10th

When, TheOldNorth, first joined TA, and when he made his first 'classify/passify me' thread, I remember relating to him the sentiment that he has a gangster's eyes.

Tell me, friends and lovers.. was I wrong?

I think all of your ancestry shows - but I wouldn't blink if you told me you were 1/4 West Asian. You could probably even sell me on the idea that you were 1/2 West Asian, after a couple beers.
