Race, Ethnicity, style forum

[miran]

I thought I'd start a top level message but if it's against the forum policy sorry.

I am curious about the racial and ethnic and national composition here.

I've seen handles like <<randomkoreandude>>, descriptions like <<Persian bro>> and <<Hebrew homie>> and posts about East Asian big and flat noses not holding sunglasses on.

So where are you from and how does it hinder your fashion sense?


I'll start, I am from Montreal, Canada, which seems to be a putdown in this board. My parents are born in Morocco. I don't have any fashion hinderances but I wish I had nicer hair because on bad days it looks like mohair.

Another winning thread...

I've been told I'm very nordsinid in appearance, which probably hints at my eastern Chinese ancestry?
But I've also been told my jaw structure isn't very, ummm, "progressive".

^ You can go motoring on them salt flats?

I forgot the important bit - I'm Taiwanese/Australia, very confused by all the ninjas in Melbourne, and very frustrated at the scarcity of well-made clothing in Australia.

they do a lot of speed trials there ... ~ 4 years ago they built a super cool race track that i go to sometimes when they hold gt class races. if they carved out a rally race track in one of mountains here it might be a bit more tolerable.

My eyes, lactose tolerance, and fair skin hint at my Norse-by-way-of-Scotland ancestry, while my concave, pointed nose and small mouth belie the Norman/Celt/Roman mongrel heritage of the English. My narrow chest brings to mind the wastes of Abyssinia while my Lilliputian schlong recalls Inner Mongolia. My athletic prowess would not be out-of-place in Dahomey and my sexual preferences run towards the Iberian.

I am a true citizen of the world.

Interesting thread.

I'm plain old white bread. Irish and german ancestry. I get a bad sunburn before I get tan . I currently live in St. Louis, but was born and raised in Salina, KS (S-Town). Physically, no fashion hindrances. Geographically, I pretty much have to buy everything online since I don't want to dress exclusively in Rams/Cards/Mizzou/Tapout gear.
