VERY surprised that he’s not part Asian at all. He would be seen as a foreigner in Europe.
LOL
The term Scotch-Irish is wrong and only the Americans use this. It is Scot-Irish or Ulster Scot which is the name to people from lowland Scotland who settled in Northern Ireland during the times of King James VI of Scotland(James I of England and Ireland). Scotch is a drink. People from Scotland are called Scots or Scottish. I should know I am Scottish not Scotch.
He looks Asian or Jewish.
Definitely Does Not Look All The Way White.
Epicanthic folds developed in a lot of Europeans from the last ice age, they’re just more prevalent in Asia but they do naturally exist in Europe as well. It clearly states this in Encyclopedia Britannica.
A lot of people like to hide their non-white heritage for whatever reason. There are a ton of celebrities who look clearly black (not entirely, but partially you know wtf I mean), but they say they’re 100% white. I guess they’re afraid it could hurt their career. It’s truly sad. ANYWAY, he definitely looks part Asian.
