    Looks 100% Kuwaiti or Saudi.

    Wouldn’t bother with his European ethnicities (Dutch, German, Irish – Lool) because he looks nothing like them whatsoever.

    I would stick with Indian and Algerian if I were this guy. He doesn’t look remotely European, let alone German Loool.

    “I’ve got a very mixed race background so, although I’m not actually Asian myself, I’ve got distant touches of Indian in me”

    My impression was half South Asian and half white when I first saw him, knew he had some South Asian ancestry, something about him looks clearly influenced in that area.
