Growing up, I was rarerly considered yugoslav eventhough I identified as one but by looks I was associated with the middle east and turkey [german version of what it means to be a turk, bin laden or gaddafi would also be turks maybe now not that much anymore, because people are more familiar with diverse looks then 30 years ago]. I was asked if im from yugoslavia why im black/tann and that i look persian or egyptian. I also rarerly was guessed as indian, i think once by a croatian girl, and once as pakistani or afghan by a turkish guy. Online Im often associated with indobrachid looks recently, and by new worlders as mixed race latino. As adult a few times, to my surprise people said I dont look like a ausländer that means someone who is not a austrian. But I dont know if they were just joking because I do look like a foreigner in austria obviously. I think I stick with being the brown guy, like I was for 30 years of my life and still am sometimes, but now not always, i was told i have white skin. Maybe I changed like Neymar who looked more black when he was a teenager and kid then now.
