Most say that my look is common to the British Isle's.

A very small number insist I look right for the Comanche Moon, Kickin' Wolf all the way. ABFers would get that. :p Another weirdo thought I was octoroon for some reason. :p

A lot of people mistake me for an American,due to the line of work im in...(big oil).
After that Swedish,then German.....some people remain quite gobstruck when i tell them im English.....they are used to plug ugly bastards when dealing with the English.

After the pause i add that im Rhodesian born as somewhat of an explanation for my James Bond style good looks and i see them in their minds eye go...."Ah that explains it....Euro mixture".....which is quite false as all my ancestors are English.

So first i get mistaken for a Yank,then a Swede or German...depending on the eye of the beholder.

most non europeans and europeans have asked me if I was Polish or Bulgarian, Albanian...
most Romanians and Brazilians have asked me if i was from their country
all Turks have never told me I look Turkish (so i don't see where non turks are seeing turkish looks in me)

A Greek family has told me I look Greek, but it was when I used to have dark hair before I stopped dying it.
A Jewish girl told me that I look Jewish but she was extremely drunk, I had a Jewish looking beard at that time and I also had darker hair.
English, and I don't know why but I've heard it from a few different people. A Russian girl told me I look like I'm from England.
Otherwise people just think I'm Italian.

1) Everything in the Balkans at least once. Mostly Greek and Bulgarian though.
2) Armenian
3) Lebanese
4) French
5) Generally "Italian"

Despite some disagreeing on here and thinking I look more Western European than Sicilian, I honestly believe I look very typical for Sicily and Calabria.

I told her what I was and she said once I said it was Sicilian it all made sense -- the guy was from Izmir, and like Sicily, both were Ancient Greek areas.

The Mexican and Arab are rare and only by ignorant Americans that know nothing about classification.

I am mistaken for Greek and never Spanish except rare occasions, and I have the typical far southern Italian look. Unless by Italian you mean north and central. I'd highly doubt you look like a typical Sicilian.

Russian....many have thought I am Russian. Being that I am Karelian (East Finland), this is to be expected.

Australian....lived in Aussie Land for about 10 years when I was a kid, so my accent would indicated that I am an Aussie. Nowadays, the accent is very mild.

No one seriously thinks I could pass as latina. I don't count trolls. Interestingly enough I've been told I can pass as albo (even though I think I look pretty damn slav).

Yeah I would not count the comments from trolls either. They are just stupid asses who should not even be taken serious or even response back. About "latina" not really well depends what "Latinos" we are talking about, if talking about Latin ethnic Europeans Yeah if we talking about Latina meaning Latin American people, the only Latin Americans I'll say you would look similar to in looks are only are the white-Latin Americans(Criollos). and like Marina said and the only place you would probably pass and fit best is in Argentina and Uruguay also.

Is there really that significant of a difference between Hans living in the north and south? From what I remember, most southern Hans are descended from migrants up north that fled from famines and floods. So I would think that pretty much all northern Hans could pass in the south (except maybe the deep south where there are a lot of ethnic minorities like Guangxi and Yunnan). But is there really a notable difference in features?

There is overlap but yes there is. Also depends on which part of the South, some places received more migrants from the North historically than others. For example, there will be much more overlap with Northerners if you are from Zhejiang, but not so much if you are from Guangxi. China is bigger than Europe, of course there is a difference.

Today at work a woman asked me "Are you sure you're from here?" and I said I was born in the town I now live in and she said "You look so much like a Turkish student I once had" and insisted I looked pure Turkish and was surprised I wasn't. I told her what I was and she said once I said it was Sicilian it all made sense -- the guy was from Izmir, and like Sicily, both were Ancient Greek areas.
