He looks Arab.
He looks Indian or Indian/Pakistani.
Oops I meant he looks Hispanic or Indian/Pakistani!
Um why is my comment moderated?!
Colin Kaepernick Is Soo Hott!!!
He can pass for Pakistani lol
they’re Arab
Pakistanis are definitely not Arab.
by religion, not by ethnicity. There are many ethnic groups in the country
Since when “Arab” is a religion?
I meant Muslim.
without reading his ethnicity, I would have guessed this guy was an Arab. This is still my idea after I watched other pics. He must have Middle Eastern heritage for sure down the line
You mean on his father’s side or something? That seems unlikely if his father was African-American. And his mother definitely isn’t of Middle Eastern descent.
African-European mixes sometimes often look Middle Eastern. That makes sense geographically.
African-American is a catch all phrase for an assortment of genetic admixture that is our dna. AA people really do not have a clue there ancestral lineages but mostly West African and Western Europe…however any other ethnic group could have slipped in thru maybe an Arab, Fulani, Hausa, or the rare Tuareg. Colin could easily pass for a Gulf Coast Arab but the Czech influence could be maybe a Romano Gypsy.
