How can I look/be more ethnic?

Question

I am going into 8th grade in Middle School.well my parents say that I am Irish, English, and Scottish but my mom looks white but my dad looks like he is a full blood Native American but he claims he is English and Irish. So I have brownish black hair, dark eyes, and olive skin but all my friends are Black, Hispanic, Aisan, Indian, and Mixed people. I just don't feel white.

This is me

Answer 1

You look pretty white to me lol But you do look alittle native american in parts of your face. Maybe if you use eye-liner or something it'll help? idk lol Sorry

Answer 2

Just be yourself and don't try to be anything but yourself.  Tell people like I do, that you are a Pedigree American Mutt.

Answer 3

the link doesnt work

Answer 4

It would be interesting to research perhaps there is a hidden unknown ancestry from your Dad? Who knows where it originates.

I am British and for 17 years of my life i didnt know that i was 1/256 French

Answer 5

Which ethnicity do you want to "look/be more" like?  

The one your parents say you are, or a different ethnicity?  

Or are you talking about race?

Answer 6

Your dad was stolen by Gypsies from the Apaches, then sold to and raised by a kindly Anglo-Irish couple, Mr. & Mrs. Thurston-McGillicuddy. They never told him. I must have known a dozen people like that. Try to keep the family secret, dear, for the sake of your grandparents.

> How can I look/be more ethnic

Wear a full skirt, embroidered blouse and running shoes.

Talk with a thick accent

Use a lot of garlic when you cook

Be superstitious of things that WASPS are not, like building a camp fire with wood that has been struck by lightning or patting small children on the head.

Change your name to something native English speakers can't pronounce easily.

If you want acting lessons, there is a category for it elsewhere. If you want to trace your family history, start with your mom and dad. Tell them you are interested. Your grandparents are even better, if they are alive. They will tell you stories about your parents that your parents wish you never heard.

Answer 7

Don't worry about it.  Teenagers dress the same the world over.  Short of wearing a t-shirt that says "Irish Princess", I don't really have any suggestions.
