    Eurasians!
    Sorry if there's already a thread about this, couldn't find it. I was wondering if anyone else here is Eurasian? Where are your ancestors from? Where were you brought up? Just thought this would be interesting to know.

    One of my closest friends is half Austrian and half Sri-Lankan, which is one of the more unusual combinations, I'd think...

    It is I guess. I haven't met any Eurasians here in Austria yet (guess I'm searching in the wrong places)

    Erm I class myself as German-Pakistani due to my nationality/birth place being Germany and having lived there for 10 years.. But my skin colour and culture would be mainly Pakistani as that's where my mums family is and where she grew up.. And the culture that I have been brought up in .. If that's what you were asking?! .. Lol

    Re: Eurasians!
    Irish Indian here, currently residing in my place of birth aka the UK. I look more or less a darkish white so I'm often subject to questioning such as are you Turkish or East European/Russian maybe Lebanese or Iranian? Personally, I just see myself as a British guy just like everybody else I'm not big on cultural affiliations.
