Re: Do you think you look like what your ethnicity is??? And what do people always guess you are???

I don't know what I look like. When my hair was long, people always thought I was native american because of my coloring, however, I always have spanish-speaking men stop me and ask me if I am spanish. ALWAYS, to the point where gets a little annoying (I am, however, Puerto Rican). But the rest of me is Italian, and no one ever seems to figure that out. I would say a majority of people think i'm jewish because my name is RachelChat Icon

I'm of Irish background, and I look it. Occasionally someone will think I am Italian, b/c of my first name.

You are very unique looking. And I mean that as a high form of flattery. You're kind of exotic!

My father is from Sicily; my mother is from a small town near Naples. Here, people never assume that I'm Italian, especially half Sicilian because I'm blonde with blue eyes - people think that I'm: dutch, polish, british, german, irish in that order.

People think I am Hispanic. I am Italian, English & Egyptian (although I know nothing about that side of my family....)

When I tell them that I am mostly Italian, they say, oh, well you don't have an Italian nose, so I thought you were Hispanic.

Um, little insulting to Italians, no?

Re: Do you think you look like what your ethnicity is??? And what do people always guess you are???

Well, I am Jewish- with my grandparents being Polish, Russian and Lithuanian (sp?).

I have been asked if I am everything under the sun-- I have red hair and fair skin and have not really been asked if I was Irish-- I get a lot of Northern Italian-- have been asked if I was Greek and even Puerto Rican.

To quote Beth-- I too have been asked if I have had my nose done-- and while I am Jewish-- my nose is au natural!

No one ever guess my ethnicity. Everyone assumes I am Italian if not Greek (when they hear my maiden name) - sometimes I get Jewish or PR or Brazilian. I am none of them. My dad is Lithuanian (but born in Germany) and my mom is a mix but mostly French and English. No one ever guesses any of them.



I always thought you were Italian, Denise! Chat Icon Chat Icon

I'm Irish and look it.

Not to start a war here, but what do you all mean when you say "look Jewish"? I wasn't aware that Judiaism was an ethnicity?
I am Jewish but my ethnicity is Polish. I am told all the time that I look Italian (I have green eyes and brown hair)

I'm usually told I have Irish skin (freckles) with Italian features (my nose). I really wish I had gotton the olive skin like some of my family.
