Tell me what it's like to be of your race... PHYSICALLY?

Question

NO, please do not think I'm asking you questions about your race in terms of your social stance, treatment, etc. I don't want to know about how you feel you are socially. This is about physical attributes. Please just tell me what you find about your body, appearances, hair maintenance, skin treatment, etc. that tends to affect you and others of your ethnicity (typically).

Want an example? OK: myself, I find that being a young part-Asian/white female I have a strange brown mark under my eyelid that resembles eyeliner (but it's just part of me! LOL). And people always think I'm wearing makeup even when I'm not. (ok that was in effect, social)

Oh yeah, and my hair goes all slippery after I wash it. It's like I can't keep it away from my face unless it's tied back.

Um, and during summer only parts of my body tan, especially my arms, which go dark very easily (even with minimal sunlight). My face can get a little tanned, but more pinkish. But my legs always stay completely white! LOL, weird.

So, please tell me what it's like to be physically an certain ethnicity. All kinds of people welcome.

Answer 1

Well, a little tough for me to answer in terms of race: I'm Indian, African, Venezuelan, Chinese, and British. my skin tone is not very dark, nor very light. My hair is somewhere b/t wavy and curly and is a bit past my shoulders. I don't really get more than a shade or two darker in the sun.

Answer 3

my father is half japanese and half french-german, and my mother is full japanese, making me 3/4 Japanese.

i find although being 3/4 japanese, i dont tan AT ALL. im fairly pale all year round, and the darkest i go is maybe a medium olive (if im lucky). i have light chocolate eyes and a mole near my mouth.

my hair is naturally straight and tame, but i like to wear it in a slight wave.

people say that at a glance they thought i was full japanese, but then they notice my eyes are larger and my features are slightly softer and they can tell that i could have a smidge of european in me.

i dont know if thats what you meant, but theres my 2 cents haha

Answer 12

I'm African American (with a tad bit of Indian, but not enough to really be noticeable). I am brown skin and I can get darker if I am out in the sun. My hair is sometimes difficult to manage and is kinky, but I straighten it to manage it better. I am short (5'1). I am very petite, but I have an hourglass figure (wide hips, big butt, small waist). I don't gain weight easily even though I eat like a pig (but this isn't the norm for African Americans).
