    I come from a pretty mixed backround, my Dad's side is Ukranian,Polish,Austrian....pretty much..all around Europe. My mom however is mainly English..Unfortunatley i dont have a picture of myself (yet) on here..but i have dark features, dark brown eyes, almost black hair...and my skin goes very brown..I've been told by family members i am exotic looking.. I dont really resemble anyone in my family...except for maybe my Grandpa..I went to Mexico awhile back, and so many people there continued to ask me if i was from Columbia. I am asked often, where i am from....am i here visiting?...and if i speak Spanish...I've found this really strange seeing is how, to my knowledge I dont have any spanish blood in me, but yet people have been asking me this my whole life...Sometimes i see people and ill be like woahh...they look like me, i always want to talk to them....and they give me that "look"..of...you look similar...kind of thing, i dont know how to explain it reallly...but I'ts nice to see people who resemble your physical features etc... but i plan on doing some digging, to find out more about my backround..and perhaps specify why i look the way i do...
    It was on the mind..

    does this happen to any of you?

    I am Flipino, Irish, English <---England, and Native American.

    Most people never believe I am Flipino because I am so white and have blue eyes but most people think I am Native American.

    Mom is french & native american, dad is irish & native american. My ID just says I'm white, a younger brother says we are mutts. I can't even remember now which native american tribes my parents are from. My ex-husband's family is from Norway, french-canadian, and different native ammerican tribes so my kids are real mutts. Usually if anyone asks my 15 yr old what she is, she will say white & native american and gets very defensive if anybody says any negative comments about native americans.
    I tell her that she is 100% human, sometimes more human then adults that she meets.

    My mums Irish and my dads from Ghana, i was born in England. So, im a honey coloured chick with light brown straight hair and cute freckles! lolol. :p

    My daughter's dad is white so she looks....well, she has dark waist lenght ringlets, green eyes and pale skin. But people have said she looks Greek, Spanish, Gypsy.....even a bit Chinese! lol She's gorgeous so i don't mind where people thinks she's from. Even though i have an all year around tan, when i do sun bathe, i go a lovely dark coffee colour which i love. :)

    Most people, if they care, can tell that I am of Irish/Scottish descent, although it is pretty obvious, my last name being what it is.

    But frequently people will ask me if I am Jewish. I guess they just see dark hair and a big nose and make some assumptions. Silly people.
