    I still consider most of my ancestry to be French since my paper trail is mostly Cajun-french

    When I used to live in Poland I was mostly mistaken as Spanish and Italian, people would usually forget to guess Portuguese.

    In Portugal and Angola I was never mistaken for anything else but Portuguese.

    I’ve seen a couple of your photos and most would just assume you’re white. Some of us are very interested in culture and others not so much. To be considered anything else you’d have to have very southern features.

    NYC is very mixed with a large Anglo-Irish population as well.

    So 90% of my ancestry is Northwestern European.

    Yep. I neither look very Mediterranean nor any pseudo-Latino look is present in my case.

    I get told I look all sorts of things from Southern European to Levantine, Indian and even Latina which I don’t mind at all I think it’s cool. But to go as far as claiming me to be lying about my actual ethnicity is rather irritating.

    If that's you in your profile pic (I'm assuming it is), I'd guess you as Moroccan or Algerian. Your skin tone and nose shape especially.

    Yes it is. But apparently 1/3 of people have some Ashkenazi Jewish origin, in some districts up to 1/2 iirc.

    Irish and Southern France can makes sense. Those regions can produce gracile meds proper. Hence, you are french and Irish then.
