What ethnicity do people mistake you for?

I'm Nigerian but I have often been mistaken for mixed race (a range of combinations) and i've been mistaken for ethiopian.

It wasn't serious and I totally agree that caucasian is not European, I don't really believe that Janjaweed are totally caucasian though.

Nah its just a thing that most somalis claim they look or are mistaken for bengali or yemeni. Its annoying cause 80% percent of the time its not true.Deep down i know they look something like this. So why lie for?

Certainly not fully caucasian, actually only Sardinians and Basques are as close to pure caucasian as you can get

These people clearly aren't "black" (as in negroid) http://www.channel4.com//news/media/current_affairs/unreported_world/darfur_main.jpg

And I've noticed people would suggest countries based on where they are from

Indians on most occasions think I'm Indian or ask if I'm part Indian etc etc
