You are quite beautiful.

You look a little bit Indian around the eyes.

You look Mediterranean European to me, or possibly European with a degree of Middle-Eastern or Indian admixture.

You look (sigh)....lovely.

What was the question?

Oh yeah...

Kinda.

Basically White looking- but your hair,nose, and coloration, give you a bit of an ambiguity factor. Could pass for Jewish, or Italian, or biracial American ( Wasp, and Black).

So if central casting need a girl for a TV commercial whom ladies of different races could identify with-yeah- they might pick you.

My first thought would be Jewish...

I also agree with naturalplastic. You're pretty.

Wow, you've got amazing curly hair! I don't envy your having to tame it every day, but it looks awesome.

I'm not so good with races; you don't look like obviously anything to me. I do associate dark curly hair with southern Europe, or with Caucasian people who are maybe one-fourth or one-eighth something else, like Indian or African.

I don't see why it really matters that much. Race isn't truly biological, anyway; it's more of a cultural thing. Like, here in the US, a person can be labeled "black" even though their features are closer to Caucasian, because they have a small detectable amount of African heritage, even though most of their ancestors came from Europe. And they can be culturally black, too, just lighter-skinned than most.

Your race is probably best defined as whatever you see yourself as--the group you grew up with, that you're seen as belonging to.

If you're more interested in your genetic heritage, have you thought about getting into genealogy? It's a common enough hobby. People who are into it seem to quite enjoy it. It's a lot of research into old records to find out where you came from. Could be interesting, if you want to find out. Some people can go much farther back than others--even to the middle ages. Others have trouble finding out who their great-grandparents were! It's all down to whether somebody at some point wrote down who had which baby.

Unless it's a perm, your hair could suggest some African ancestry. Maybe if I saw you in a different light with more of your face exposed, there'd be more idea as to your skin.

what is ethnically ambiguous?

Anyway, here in Brazil we would call you just "white". For me looks like italian, maybe. Where are you from?
Yes, you look lovely :)
(I mean aesthetically because I'm not homossexual :? )

I know ethnic labels are cultural rather than biological, but that doesn't mean there aren't biological aspects to race. 23andme could tell from my genes that my ancestors came from Northern Europe without even seeing me. (They tell a lot of American Blacks they're mixed-race. Which a lot of Africans can tell by looking at them.)

I was haplotyped, actually. I am as follows:

28% Iberian
28% West European
19% British
7% Near Eastern
3% North African
3% Irish
2% Jewish

How does one get a haplotype? How much does it cost? I think that's cool.

You have a great mixed ancestry.
