Handsome Atlanto-Med.
Um, dark Brits are Atlanto Meds Lol
This guy is Jewish. He would originate from the Med.
I thought he was Puerto Rican OR black and white (he kind of looks like Pete Wentz)
He looks Japanese does he any Japanese ancestry he could be Eurasian he has White in him but he looks Asian.
Jewish guy..
he doesnt look Asian, Native American, Mexican etc..
Well, he could be a white Mexican easily (of Spanish descent).
Heh, anytime some celebrity on this site who is white and has a phenotype darker than an Atlantid or Alpine they claim the person is part black or Native.
Someone even commented on George Clooney that he looked Indian…
*White American celebrity.
I know this is old, but in George clooney looking Indian? Like South Asian indian? Why not? They’re for the most part cauasianoid and although they’re darker on average I have a friend whose paleish and has blue green eyes and a big but straight nose. If you meant native then well..

he looks weird. he looks like he has something non-white in his dna. maybe native american?
He’s Jewish.
