Classify me (Venezuelan of italian descent)

[Fraisod]

You're not Fair skinned, I'm telling you that now. You're Beige, Beige is one of the lighter versions of what most people consider an "Olive complexion." Perhaps most photographs make you look darker, however in one photograph you look Cream which is 2 shades lighter than Beige and 1 shade darker than Fair. However I'm being honest with you, you could pass as Levantine Arab. I see some European look in you, especially in some of your other photos, but your eye shape and your face structure makes me think of some Levantines I've seen. In general Southern Italians look a bit more European than you do, but it makes sense you've been mistaken as such as you do have some European look to you.

I think that is however, due to the Castizo heritage that gives you more an exotic appearence. I don't really see the Jewish as well your nose ain't really Dinarid, Armenid, Roman, Syrid or Arabid (Basically larger noses) that most people associate with Jews. Overall I don't think you look European, If would to classify you I'd (Which is pseudo-science)

I'd say this

Minor Brazilid and Castizo with an overwhelming Trans-Meditteranid appearence

+1.
Like Kiete added, you may want to have a test to get some confirmation, but as far as phenotype goes, Grand Admiral Thrawn is right.

You need to start saving money my friend so you can buy a DNA kit, Trust me It will help you resolve any Identity Issues you may have.

Family members don't really define you of course they will make part of your DNA. But will not define you In my mother side for example I have many family members who look like Spaniards but seem I Inhered more Amerindian DNA from my father side.


Thus you need a DNA test, to know exact yourself make a 2021 priority to save money so you can buy yourself a miheritage or family tree DNA kit .

Best wishes

Yeah it'll probably be a long time until I get one of those lol, too expensive for a venezuelan. My maternal family overall do look quite castizo in general, so it is best to assume they are like that genetically. But you're right, i'll never know quite well until I get one.

Going back on the skin tone subject. As I said the skin tone on my face is more like a grey-ish white. So skin, hair and eyes are ligther than Transmed but more on the European mediterranid side of things. East med looks just like Transmed with that difference in complexion too...

This is a rather old picture from school, the girl below me is of a pale white tone for comparison.

I'd take trans med any day tbh I don't care, I just find it odd and unlikely since that would make me the only person in my family to fit anywhere near that category.

On the "greyish-white" -- it may be a sign that you need to get more exercise, fresh air and sunlight.

You seem lighter than most of your partners.

Pigmentation doesn't really matter, so don't fixate on that. You see a lot of southern europeans with your pigmentation, lighter and even darker. In terms of features, there are some users that can be pretty accurate at labeling you, but my suggestion would to not fixate on phenotype at all either, unless you really wanna discuss pseudo-sciences. As others have said, take a DNA test, it'll confirm what you are.

FIXED.

Perhaps it could be a sign of a health problem. However I got tested already for any hormonal or thyroid problems (my mom suffered from these) and it seems i'm alright overall. Still trying to figure it out with the dermatologist lol.

Yea as I said it's more of greyish white, it's not an extremely unusual facial complexion really.

James Gandolfini had a more severe version of this facial dullness, here compared next to the bright-skinned Federico Casteluccio. As you can tell his ears also remain pale somehow.

Now I do know this whole thing is generally considered pseudo-science by many, but the whole website is practically based on it, so it shouldn't be such a big surprise that I wonder how I am classified as phenotypically-speaking. Plus it's not like I don't know anything about my ancestors really, i've met americans with bigger identity crisis.

FIXED.

Accurate.

I’m just saying, personally as a 100% Euro Portuguese guy, physically speaking no one would guess I was without my results. Just trying to help you not get stuck in an identity crisis or something dude. Anyway, Have a good weekend.
