| Jean is probably French. |

hadid119 said: HalfMetalJacket ياسر من التعليقات العنصرية ... شكلك نازي عنصري I think I might have offended somebody. You must feel that I am generalising quite a bit, true? I don't actually think of you guys like that. Some friends of mine are arabic actually. One of my favoured teachers is too. Where I'm from, no one really takes racism seriously anymore. We're all just poking fun at each other, thats all. Just like how you'd joke around with the idea that all asians are cheap. If its an apology you want, fine. Sorry for making disparaging comments on race. But you really think of me as Nazi? They wouldn't want a chink like me amongst in their little white clubs, would they now? |

LeCan said: I know what you mean but I'm not very proud beeing Turkish. About Erin; I thought that too but he doesn't look Irish + it's Eren and they pronounce it Turkish. So I think Turkish Eren fits better. If you care: Google my name :P Eren and parents look Turkish to me. Maybe not in the manga, but the complexions look mediterranean in the anime. I say he's a Turkish German. |

Throttlee said: By judging the visual of the constructions within the walls, it kind of explain why everybody seems to be a Geman. I liked the theory about their nationalities though, but like someone said it's a fictional world, so we can't just rely on this. But following the theory, there's any hint about Rivaille, he could be japanese as well, because of his tiny eyes and short high. Berserk is a fictional world based on real life. SNK might be too. Levi a Japanese? His pupils aren't right to me. Asians generally have squinty eyes, but the pupils shouldn't be smaller either. Methinks he's a Jew. |

dxia said: HalfMetalJacket said: Well, dangerous country would spawn deadly shit... Yup. I've long thought of the Jews as the most successful race in the world by a wide margin, given their population, history, and circumstances (and I'm Asian). Millennia of diaspora? No problem. They still have enough of a collective identity to reestablish Israel after pushing out the Palestinians. Small population, constantly persecuted for their culture? No problem. They are still one of if not the most intellectually and financially influential people in the world. Surrounded by hostile countries? No problem. Just look at what happened during the Six-Day War...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six-Day_War The only thing they aren't that good at is sports... All the more appropriate that Levi is one... |

| I like how the characters in this series have European names when they are European. And the European characters look more European than the Asian ones. |

| I find it hilarious that people still use someone's hair and eye colour to determine their race. I find it even more stupid how people still believe that only Americans and Europeans can have blue/green eyes and blonde hair. Has anyone ever seen Northern Pakistani people? Kashmiri people? How about Lebanese? Syrian? Irani? Afghan? They have eyes and hair colours that I've never even seen on Europeans or whoever you mean by the typical "caucasian". Now having light/pale skin is also a similar matter.. |
moonkingdomify said: I like how the characters in this series have European names when they are European. And the European characters look more European than the Asian ones. Not really. Why do people even talk about races? Hardly any of the anime characters actually resemble real life people. Come on.. sharp pointy noses, golf ball sized eyes.. |

Not really. Why do people even talk about races? Hardly any of the anime characters actually resemble real life people. Come on.. sharp pointy noses, golf ball sized eyes.. Are you serious? Or do you not understand something called 'art style'. You really believe characters must resemble people THAT much to be considered a likeness? I can imagine people in real life that the characters actually resemble. Mikasa for instance. I actually sighted a look-a-like at the station once. Besides, we're talking about names rather than appearances here. If we're blind, then maybe their names give us an idea of their background. At least tell you can tell that Mikasa looks Asian compared to the rest of the cast... |

Throttlee said: I quite agree with you, but I think they are theorizing about their names mainly, and not only appearence. Yes but someone also tried saying that one of the characters had an Indian/Arab name. Any educated person would know that Indians are majorly different from Arabs in almost every way including the names. |

Any educated person would know that Indians are majorly different from Arabs in almost every way including the names. I don't recall anything about that in this thread. All I can remember was Mina looked Indian because of the shading used when Keith Shadis was shouting at her during episode 3. They fixed that in the BD though. Now she looks different. BTW, would you agree with the idea that perhaps Eren is Turkish German? Eren is a Turkish name, and he does look that way (olive complexion, green eyes). |

I don't know, maybe? A lot of Turkish people have green eyes and tanned skin but not all of them. As I said, it's idiotic to figure it out by someone's hair and eye colour. A lot of people mistake me for a different race. It does not work that way. They clearly can not tell looking at my eyes and hair even when they know my name. But if a person does not even know the difference between Indian and Arab names then clearly people are figuring out everything wrong here.. Also, try speaking to me a little nicely next time or don't talk to me at all. |

I didn't know the creators looked at certain races, I thought perhaps they pick random features, put them together and give the character a random name. I've also met people from various different countries as well. Albania/Ukraine/Turkey/Poland/India/Pakistan/Iran/Germany/Somalia etc. So I am aware of different looks and don't just assume. By the way, it's Pakistani*. And no problem. |

SilentSacrifice said: I didn't know the creators looked at certain races, I thought perhaps they pick random features, put them together and give the character a random name. Guess this sums it up the best. All characters in this series are just an amalgam of names and appearances the creator(s) seemed to favour from an aesthetical angle. With the rest of humanity living in the same compound, names and appearances typical to some of earth's cultures are bound to mix up a lot. |
Adramelech said: Turkish people don't have any feature they can be identified with. So "he looks turk!" is quite a reckless statement. The guy looks like a regular anime boy. I am surprised nobody created (afaik) any conspiracy theories about Eren's nationality being a clue about future events. Since that is what everyone likes to do with the overhyped shows or books, create deeper meanings that the writer or director didn't intend to. This was my initial thought. I would not have declared him turkish at all and just assume that he was like everyone else, except one thing. His first name. At first, I assumed nothing based on appearance. His name, coupled with an appearance of an middle eastern/mediterranean person led me to believe he's turkish. Eren is a Turkish name in case you were wondering. Have you met many mediterranean/middle eastern peoples? My whole kindergarten class was full of them. My neighbourhood was full of them. Take my word for it, I think I can judge appearances (Australia is a multicultural nation). neUtrino_23 said: Guess this sums it up the best.

She's apparently stated as one of the last orientals (Asians) in the walls by those kidnappers that abducted her. I think ethnicity has some importance here. You think the names are coincidental? The author created them with meanings being the names. Eren means holy in Turkish while Jaeger means hunter in German. |

A Pakistani isn't distinguishable from an Indian, a Palestinian isn't distinguishable from an Iraqi, a Mexican isn't distinguishable from a Guatemalan, a German isn't distinguishable from a Dutchman and so on and so on. The only thing which is Turkish is the language and the culture - not the looks. Some people in this thread pointed out that Eren might be a Turkish name and we won't get any further with that. Don't all the humans in SnK have the same nationality? They're living under the same reign. HalfMetalJacket said: Why some attention to Mikasa's ethnicity then?

Mikasa's ethnicity had as much importance as the amount of perversity of the sick guy they wanted to sell her to and the money they'd make with this fetish. I said nothing about 'coincidental', I said the creator(s) picked names and appearances which aesthetically pleased them and also that all cultures are mixing up inside humanity's last enclave. So... Eren Jäger is a fine name for a guy to hunt down titans - nothing more, nothing less. |

LevailRenn said: Forgive people if they don't know everything about every culture in the world. How dare they not know everything! Then why assume like an idiot, no? Anyway, as I said before, I just think that the creators use random physical features coupled with random names. I don't think it's easy at all to pin a character fully on one race. There are mixes of many physical features in each race. Giving a group of people a certain type of look is stereotypical and untrue. |
