Question

okay why does every say i look white??I'm 1/4 brazilian 1/4 caucasian 1/4 german 1/4 Portuguese ....i don't know why everyone says i look caucasian?I'm confused

Answer 1

Germans are usually white so it means you are 1/2 white. So people think you are white because you likely look pretty "white".

Answer 2

Am I missing something here? You're part Caucasian; so maybe, just maybe that explains why you might look Caucasian?

Just a wild guess.

Answer 3

because they think u look caucasian. what r the chances that they r gonna say "gee u look 1/4 caucasian, 1/4 brazilian, 1/4 german, 1/4 portuguese" ? technically i am yaqui indian, mexican, spanish, irish and english, so i am pretty much mexican and white. only one time has anyone asked me if i am irish, and i was shocked (they had lived in ireland, and i guess recognized features), other times ppl ask me if i am indian, but nobody has ever guessed the right tribe.others think italian, various south american countries, and i can't count how many times ppl have started speaking to me in farsii thinking i am persian, but i wouldn't expect ppl to really guess. when ppl see mutts like us, i think they see in us the traits they recognize from their own families or experiences (otherwise they wouldn't recognize it, right?). we have an exotic and mysterious look. enjoy it.

oh yeah, and genetics have a big part of it, dominant n recessive genes n stuff like that.

Answer 4

Because you are pretty much half white...... German= Caucasian so 1 half caucasian and 1 half latin can equal someone who is light complected maybe what some would consider white.  I think that made sense right?

Answer 5

The ancestral Caucasian areas include all of Europe, western Russia, India, Iran, and surrounding countries. You are 100% Caucasian.

Answer 6

They wish you were, you sound too extoic for that.

Answer 7

Maybe how you talk your like 2/4 white
