Answer 4

you look Albanian or Greek

Answer 5

At the very first glance of your photo it comes to my head: "middle eastern".

You could be Turkish, Lebanese, Sirian, Palestinian, even Persian..

Definitely, you look kind of exotic, 100% middle eastern.

Answer 11

If you are an American citizen and you don't have dual citizenship, then anytime anyone ask you what your nationality is, you tell them it is American and nothing else but American.  You tell them if they state their nationality is the country from which their ancestors came, they are talking stupid.

Nationality is not the same thing as race, ethnicity, or ancestral heritage.

In genealogy, people do not think in terms of what a person looks like in tracing ancestry.  The persons that answered your question above are not the regulars on the genealogy board but people answering questions from the Home Screen of Yahoo Answers.   But the people who are really into genealogy would not attempt to give you an "expert" opinion of your background

based on your appearance.

If you really want to know your father's ethnicity, the best thing to do is to trace it starting with him and working back, one generation at a time.  Anytime you wish to do this, there are lots of good people on this board that can give you some great tips and advice.  Just ask.
