My dad's last name was Polak - Do I look in any way Polish?

But others are right and no spite is intended. You have put too much of eyeliner in the eyes corners that they seem to look Asian (as if you had so called the Asian fold). Also the contrast of the picture is too high - the shape of yout nose is blured. You are a pretty girl but the picture is not the best for the purposes of the query.

I understand that but no, the most eyeliner that day was on the left side of my eye..less on the right, if you take a closer look at that eye instead. I didn't even notice myself that the shape of the nose is blurred but I can't change the contrast I believe. The picture was taken by a professional photographer for a cosplay shoot. Honestly, I'm curious now because some people have given straight answers while others haven't...

You also apparently think you're the professional on determining how a person's face looks, whereas others have given me answers. So you know what, while you let out all of that bullshyt, show some credentials yourself, professional. Anybody can say something like that. It's also your assumption, which is wrong, wrong and, whoops, wrong.

I shouldn't need to prove anything if you are the person asking a favour off the forum community here.

You're also a fake photo posting, unregistered troll. I'll give you 5 out 10 on the trollometer. Not a bad score I'm sure you'll agree.

Oh, and if I were a guy I'd also do you. You're hot.

Good day.

And I shouldn't need to prove anything if you're a rude snippy little random woman on the internet with her nose really stuck up in the air. I don't care if you're registered or not. Hell, you could have been trolling yourself with your so called "experience". Rigggght. Anyone can just look crap up off the internet. And I have other pictures that I will continue to upload of myself on my Photobucket account. If you care to follow, and see that this is no joke and I am who I say I am, you are gladly allowed to look. You're also contradicting yourself here. You claim I'm a troll and using fake pictures but you go and say that I'm hot and you'd do me...what does this say to me? A lot.

On this picture you don't look Polish at all. But I can't be sure if that's not the effect of the eyeliner. Your nose seems to be typical for Native South Americans but one cannot be sure if the line of it is blurred.

Not an actual facebook account, nope. Only for cosplay I have one. But you wouldn't consider that an actual facebook would you? What you would see is all photos done by a professional photographer. You would still complain the same way.

And La Serena is also a default location to avoid stalkers. Sooo I would like to know if you have the right account or a fake one. Just curious as to what you're looking at. You searched high and low though.

Well, well, those ARE all of mine. Thank you for posting them, dearest. Hence why locations are all changed to once again avoid stalkers.

Any messages will be sent to me, lovely.

I have a really hard time to pick the most beautifull. Probably I will end up choosing a few of them ;D
Btw, this is suppose to be typical/average for Miss Universe contestant? : )

Feminists don't care how they look like ;)

I think it may be due to the fact that getting the "average" face means that the symmetry is taking over (and there is a strong correlation between facial symmetry and perceived beauty), the individual traits are lost (including the ones that could qualify a person more like a duckling and not a swan) and you get the pleasant, blurred, averageness :)

Polak is quite popular name in Poland. Over 20 000 Poles use it. Mainly in Upper Silesia Province and some in Malopolska Province. I heard myself this name in Czech and Slovakia used by Czechs and Slovaks. It is easy to understand origins of the name. At last 3 ethnic groups used to live in Silesia: Germans, Poles and Silesians and therefore beeing Pole (Polak) featured a man and became his Surname. The same way in Czech and Slovakia where even more ethnic groups used to live.

A map of the names: (3xw dot) moikrewni.pl/mapa/kompletny/polak.html or: (3xw dot) moikrewni.pl/mapa write "polak" and press SZUKAJ. You can try: (3xw dot) moikrewni.pl/Start.action and choose a language.

About look.
We have a vast genetic heritage in Poland - German, Celtic, Jewish, Mongols and about 50% of Slavish and that's why we can't talk about typical Polish features. There are some more or less stupid stereotypes about Polish view but your photos don't math them in fact with one exception - a very bright and fragile skin. In conclusion - I believe that there is a chance that no one could recognize you as a foreigner in Poland - at last in bigger cities.

At last - you gave us a very hard homework to do. No kidding. They all are astonishing and elaborated pictures but how can we tell you whether you are Polish looking girl when you revealed us photos with a Pokemon looking girl? To give a decent answer we need something... straight from the shower at best!

Germans, Poles and Silesians and therefore beeing Pole (Polak

Silesians were never treated as a separate nation before - neither by Poles nor by Germans (wish you a happy search for a Silesian nation in German scientific literature of the 19th century or early 20th century) - and Silesian language can be perfectly treated as a Polish dialect and it only depends on your political stance if you must say it is a dialect or a language in it's own right) - if you are not convinced just go from Katowice to Kraków through the villages - the dialect shift is quite fluent (a dialect continuum) and was even more fluent in the past (before public education)

To be fair, many languages used to be treated as just dialetics in the past. But yes, recognition of a language often depends merely on political stance.

Having said this, there's no harm if they want to have their own language.

Okay my family is Puerto Rican, all of us are, although my mother is part Sicilian. My dad's last name is Polak but then he changed it to Pollack for some weird reason. Polak is Polish, isn't it?

No Polak is a Polish last name not Jewish. Some Jews changed their names so that they're Polish sounding, there are Jews with my last name also, and it's Polish. moikrewni.pl says 21534 people in Poland with that name.
