Out of curiosity what ethnicity do would I likely be assumed or would you assume me to be in the USA, Hispanic or something else (MENA, desi, white or central asian ect) ?

Also would it depend by state?

Where are you from? I imagine Americans would assume you’re from there. I don’t know what MENA or desi is
SubstantialEshaii@reddit (OP)
Middle eastern North African = MENA
south asian = desi
Falco-Rusticolus@reddit
Ah in America it would just be Arabic/middle eastern or Indian

it didn't work in the text box. Maybe this works?

Doesn’t work.
desperatehousecat2@reddit
Based on your assumptions (desi) we would probably assume Indian.
SubstantialEshaii@reddit (OP)
I've been assumed to be desi before (I'm not) but also literally everything else too which is why I ask
desperatehousecat2@reddit
Honestly I don’t really know what desi means I just had an association with it and India.
SubstantialEshaii@reddit (OP)
Desi means south asian so you're right with the association
SubstantialEshaii@reddit (OP)
Eh idk why. No other way I can do it

That didn't work, either. Personally, I wouldn't really be concerned based on looks. However, an accent when you speak to me would have me ask where you're from. If you say Texas, I'll accept that and move on, lol.

All I see in imgur is ads

neither link works, but i can tell you i usually wouldn’t try to guess someone’s ethnicity off of a picture. theres usually more cultural signals that are better tells
SubstantialEshaii@reddit (OP)
I'm culturally british but not ethnically british. I have been told I look: Southern European, arab, Turkish, Indian/Pakistani, Persian, Pashtun/Afghan, Asian, Armenian, Fillipino and Latino before. My logic is if I ask Americans they will probably have the best answers as the US is the most international country on earth
