If you're a white-passing ethnic, are you ethnic?

[Xangsane]

Title. I easily pass as white but I'm part MENA.

Depends on how white passing you are. Ethnics definition of “looking white” is different from everybody else’s

Done. How white do I look then?

 

[Xangsane]

Also most of my irl friends aren't white either.

I’m from the states so my definition of white is different from others. I’m MENA too feel free to DM me I can give an honest answer

Yeah as I said in DM you’re pretty white passing ngl. You can pass for Italian

 

[Xangsane]

I've passed as Med most of the time irl. Even German jfl

Its unusual for pure ethnics to pass as whites. Its very rare in fact. Phenotypes exist for a reason.

 

[Deleted member 3593]

yea you’re a legitimate white passer ngl

So many people mistake me for pure white

True. I'm not pure ethnic though.

lol yeah, in terms of MENA I see a few rare types who are Lebanese/Syrian/Etc that easily blend with the European crowd sometimes American-white crowd — light coloring, soft features/good bones, colored eyes, etc

 

[Jason Voorhees]

People who say salludon passes as Italian are delusional. . Solely phenotypically speaking he's just a MENA passing south asian. In b4 someone uses cherrypicked examples of ethnic looking meds to prove something. Salludon passes as an iranid at best.

I am indeed part Lebanese.
A Syrian friend of mine constantly gets mistaken for med. Many girls get interested but back off when he introduces himself sadly.

Most in the states would just lump him up as Arab or Pakistani tbh. Idk what Italians look like but I think of white/caramel skin and dark hair + brows

 

[lutte]

many arabs should be considered white like @Baldingman1998 but white is more of a cultural grouping

Well, if you are half white, from a white, possibly middle class family, you are white and has an automatic certain amount of wide appeal that many others don't.

In the pic with a red cap he looks like a terrone(Sicilian) maybe but not someone from mainland Europe

Define what you mean by certain amount of wide appeal?

I have an Italian first name but a double barreled english/Arabic last name.

 

[Xangsane]

Italian maybe

North or South?

It means that mixed white, growing up as white, has appeal among white seeking women too

Names only matter if she is looking for a stable relationship

kinda yah. Atm im doing some skin routines and taking supplements to help potentially lighten my skin. My hair is my biggest asset in general for race passing outside of MENA and I think skincare (sunscreen) helped, after doing those and taking care of it I had an irl friend say I look black/white mix and got that a few times online where as before I was guessed as gulf/maghreb. Latino is rare but that comes up sometimes.

the only way I could really push myself into latino is the eye area, eye area is the biggest part of pheno imo

I see. I've passed as white many times but sometimes I feel like an imposter

Arabs are considered white in the USA but not in Europe.

Some poc have natural dark brown hair.

I mean, I'm westernised but I'm aware of my other side. I'm aware of Islam, know a couple of surahs off by heart and during childhood I wasn't allowed to eat pork but I don't really practice Islam. I might go back to it one day though.
Define growing up white?

My Pakistani friend isn't looking for a stable relationship, but my Syrian friend who looks white is.

For some reason I assume most women want stable relationships.

Doesn't MENA have broader appeal than black/White or mestizo latino?

Weird?

 

[Deleted member 3593]

based on my experiences, no. MENAs that look like u have very high appeal bc of racial passing, those Lebanese/Syrian/Jordanian Levant people have broader appeal but those are very rare and quite honestly I don’t consider them truly MENA. Seriously some of them have blue eyes and pitch white skin.

In my experience, gulf Arabs & North Africans do not have broad appeal. Unfortunately, they check too many boxes of the negative stereotypes of Arabs (hairy bodies, big noses, buggy eyes, dark skin, short, etc).

didnt knew you were muslim ..i like u more now tbh alhamdullah

 

[turkproducer]

the reason why levantines pass for white sometimes is because they have completely different dna to other arabs

i saw syrians with ginger beard, which only happens with people who have somewhat white heritage. it happens but let’s be real many arabs are not white or white passing
