Do I look to West Asian for my ancestry?

[TheOldNorth]

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.

[TheOldNorth]

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

[Nazarene]

Yes. You could pass for fully Middle Eastern.

Lmao you don't know what you are talking about.

[Nazarene]

Perhaps in the Caucasus regions but nothing south of that.

To me he looks less white than Toppo for example.

[Kamal900]

To me he looks less white than Toppo for example.

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

Yes, but you'd be seen as more mainstream white looking here.

[Babak]

Nope. Cant pass in Iran at least lol

[Oghuz]

IMO no. You look european.

[Kamal900]

Yes, but you'd be seen as more mainstream white looking here.

In America, sure, but I wouldn't pass in Europe, at least in most regions.

[Smeagol]

In America, sure, but I wouldn't pass in Europe, at least in most regions.

I think you'd probably be taken as Italian here.

[Kamal900]

I think you'd probably be taken as Italian here.

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.

[Egyvalaki]

To me you looks western euro, i would never guess you west asian.

[archangel]

Maybe as Turkish and Caucasian but i dont think you would pass in more south

[NiccMach]

Yes, you can pass in Turkey. Run rapefugee game after getting a heavy tan.

[Bakha]

You look Ashkie

[TheOldNorth]

You look Ashkie

Ashkenazi? I’m only 3/8th but I guess that’s enough

[TheOldNorth]

Yes, you can pass in Turkey. Run rapefugee game after getting a heavy tan.

I hope you meant refugee

[TheOldNorth]

I think you'd probably be taken as Italian here.

I kind of agree, where would I fit best in Europe?

[TheOldNorth]

To me you looks western euro, i would never guess you west asian.

People on here have said strongly yes or in your case strongly no, so I guess I’m a bit ambiguous and look different to every person

[Smeagol]

South Italy.

[TheOldNorth]

South Italy.

I feel as though I'm not tan enough, and my face is too round

[TheForeigner]

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

[TheOldNorth]

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

[Egyvalaki]

Yes, it can be. :)

[RandomGuy20]

I think so yeah

You look somewhat british even if you have an atypical face indeed.

glad to hear that, I once had someone tell me I look French

[WeirdLookingFellow]

I would guess you more as French than English, not even Welsh. You lack their aesthetic, be it Anglo-Saxon or paleo-Atlantid, however one calls it.

He pass much better as a french (even if not typical) than as an englismen but he has a little bit of british especially in side pictures.

I can see where you're both coming from, I once in middle school had a teacher say I looked German

[TheOldNorth]

whats funny is the poll thinks I'm 1/3 west euro, and 2/3 ashkenazi when the reverse is closer to the truth

[asuvis]

I think you're really Swiss this whole time and have just been fucking with us.

[TheOldNorth]

I think you're really Swiss this whole time and have just been fucking with us.

The K15 plotted dot graph seems to think so

[asuvis]

Perhaps in the Caucasus regions but nothing south of that.

Stop it Nazarene! You know damn well he doesn't look Armenian, Georgian, or Azeri.

[TheOldNorth]

Stop it Nazarene! You know damn well he doesn't look Armenian, Georgian, or Azeri.

Why are your post so funny? I can’t help but laugh at this

[Nazarene]

Apologies my dear friend, I had put in North Caucasus at first but thought that might be a little too specific. Anyways, I accept your correction.

[Dna8]

@ Thread Fatherer

I do not perceive the West Asian in you, my friend.

No offence.

[Dna8]

He has a sense of humor to be reckoned with, in my opinion.

I for one, am charmed.

[Dna8]

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?

Phenotype is for pussies who can’t afford a dna test to see where they can fit in

[Higor]

No

[TheOldNorth]

@ Thread Fatherer

Non taken, it’s only ~1/10 my ancestry anyway, and I take pride in my west european the most

But I took a dna test you can see it in my og post

[Dorian]

Yes

[Annihilus]

Do I look particularly west Asian for my ancestry?

You have textbook Armenoid eyes so yes.

[Annihilus]

You look like Richmondbread? ;)

As I said already you look white to me, genetics aside.

[Root]

You look unique.. you could fit in Kavkaz quite easily, I knew a guy who looked like you

[Jana]

You look fully Jewish to me.

[Vojnik]

No way west Asian. West European. France, England, Spain. With Jewish ancestry visible. Adam Sandler eyes:

The bavarian phenotype, yes. :D

[TheOldNorth]

The bavarian phenotype, yes. :D

Which is funny because I’m 6’4” and probably mesoskelic

[marco]

But I took a dna test you can see it in my og post
Then you are what your dna test says

[asuvis]

??? I have never seen a man look like him here.

[Root]

if I could find a digital picture of that young man whom I saw in real life you'd believe without a doubt.. although such people aren't that common in any region including Georgia and its surrounding area because of their physical uniqueness

[TheOldNorth]

Then you are what your dna test says

I know, but I'm asking what people think I look like

[Luke35]

I think you look like your ancestry. Everything you are, seems to show.

[Dna8]

Non taken, it’s only ~1/10 my ancestry anyway, and I take pride in my west european the most

And apologies for not actually answering the question as you offered it in your opening post.

Yes, my friend, for your ancestry, you look more West Asian than one might anticipate.

You have my apologies, now possess my kindest regards too.

[tipirneni]

little bit of darker shade makeup, you can pass in South Asia easily. even without makeup people will believe if you say you are Afghan or some hill tribe

[Luke35]

Agree.

[Luke35]

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.

[Leto]

You look fully Jewish to me.
Yes, to me as well. His look doesn't exactly match his DNA results.

[mitalit]

With the beard you look less european, without it you could pass like an exotic spaniard

[Erronkari]

Yes, to me as well. His look doesn't exactly match his DNA results.

To me too!

[Gaditanian]

You look ancient briton to me, I don't see anything about Middle Eastern on you.

[LittleBeyond]

Doesn't look Ashkenazi. Looks dark Irish that's it

[Tauromachos]

Yep you don't look North European though West Asian might still not be the right thing
maybe i would think North African rather than West Asian

[TheOldNorth]

You have textbook Armenoid eyes so yes.

Now that I look at it yes I see what you mean
