I'm a mixed race. Father's Chinese, mother's European (French-Canadian, Belarusian, Irish, Walloonian in that order). I look slightly more Caucasian, but I consider myself as Chinese first mostly because I am closer to my father and I grew up with a Chinese nanny.

Some people say that I look Indonesian or even Uzbek/Tajik. As a matter of fact, my Chinese side of the family is partly Hui (Chinese-speaking Sunni Muslims who originally spoke Turkish-like languages) whose ancestry traces to today's Uzbekistan/Afghanistan area, one of the various Semu (色目) people who settled around Kaifeng. My great-grandmother's surname was Ma (馬), AKA the shortened version of the male Muslim name, Muhammad, in Chinese.

usually people can tell that im slavic
when it comes to particular european ethnicities theyre often hard to tell apart (white ppl do look kinda the same brah), but ive never been recognized as polish immediately, just slavic in general (maybe ive been called russian once? im not certain)
recently i studied abroad for half a year in switzerland, and when i got back to poland and hopped on the bus from the airport i was like holy shit all of these mfs look so fkn polish there has to be some polish phrenology happening here and it was to the point that i started laughing in public it was so hilarious man the polish look funny
but yeah the more diverse ppl u hang with and the more u know about their background it gets easier to guess the ethnicity i think
but then again it could be the accent, the clothes, the way ppl carry themselves, sensibilities or some other cultural shit that gives away ppls ethnicities

I get confused for a Westerner, but I'm a Northerner.

Westerners are mixed race, multi-ethnic, and multicultural. This is often what they use in speeches to call themselves superior above all others, which is very similar to Nazi-German behaviour.

Northerners are none of those things, and share none of those believes. We also have a different set of hoplogroups that we instead share in common with a few Asian ethnicities. Among Northerners there are other ethnicities like Sami and Kven who look very different from other Scandinavians.

I am Slavic and Gallic-Celtic, Polish and French.
Many people ain't mixing me with another ethnicity but with another Nationality as for example Russian, when they hear that I am Slavic.

Also by further geneaology tree I may have in my blood/body -> Germanic and Tatar/Mongol ethnicity.

@MalchikRepaid Perhaps my grand-grand parents were Lipka Tatars, I have no idea as they were for 100% Tatars but the last name origin is actually Turkish, the name of those ancestor of mine was Czaban [Çoban]. Unfortunately the archives of births/death/marriages ain't specifying such details x(

Oh wait nowadays Tatar are also included into Turkic people, although the medieval origin is still Mongols, that would explain the last name origin.

I once had a Russian patient who for some reason was convinced I was Polish and was mad at me that I didn't speak Russian cause I should've been able to.
We were in Belgium and I'm Belgian. He was a bit confused so that's probably why.

But that's more nationality. As for ethnicity, I'm white as crackers so no one ever confused me for another ethnicity.

I'm mainly of German descent, but my maternal great grandparents are of various ex-Soviet ethnicities (I've heard Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Polish, and a DNA test from a relative came up as "Baltic States"). One thing that annoys me is when people think I'm of Scottish/Irish descent just because I have red/auburn hair. I'm not, that comes from the German side.

Unrelated to ancestry, many people in online games think I'm a Euro because I play on Euro servers and don't act like Americans supposedly do.

I've had a lot of people think I'm of Arab descent. All because of my dark hair and eyes, my natural tan, and the shape of my face. But I'm from European descent and have the whitest sounding name.

I mean everyone is mixed at this point lol

But after studying my genealogy I'm 25% ethnically Jewish [grandfather is a full ethnic jew and I knew this because my aunt got him DNA tested] and the rest of my ancestry is a lot of czechoslovakian, english and french.

Although I never get mistaken for anything besides a white californian with a californian accent lmao

I'm German, but one time a hairdresser asked me if I was Russian, because of my pale skin and black hair. I told her it was dyed. xD

I'm mestizo. According to my parents' DNA testing, something like 85% European, 12% Native and 3% African. Mostly white features but some Native too.

Depending on the context, most abroad think I'm either Latino/mestizo or Southern European, so I guess they're on point technically. I have gotten mixed for Jewish too once or twice.

@SnipeStrike Native American originally came from Asia. Why some Filipinos look like "Mexicans". Both colonized by Europeans. In fact my people lived all over this planet, Europeans history tell you bunch of lies.

OT: I look Aztec tho I found have some Asian heritage.

Apparently its racist and wrong to be just a Caucasian White these days, especially in the non-Slavic countries.

...this trend will only lead to future disaster.
