Hello everyone! I would like to know if I look Polish to you, since while being in Poland people didn't assume I was foreign.

I think you look Polish. You resemble a relative of mine.
pam
You definitely don't look British!!
If you hadn't asked that particular question,i would have guessed from your looks you were German.
Yeah you could definitely pass for a pole!

he doesn't look German at all.

He does to me.
he does to me too

why would people assume you are not polish if you are white?
OP TheJunglist 1 | 7
Because white people look very different depending on where they come from ie. many Russians would not pass as Norwegians and many Britons would not fit into Poland.

I am wondering if you are Slavic?
OP TheJunglist 1 | 7
No, I'm not Slavic (as far is I know).
Oops! I forgot to quote, I'm sorry. Here's my answer to your question: Because white people look very different depending on where they come from ie. many Russians would not pass as Norwegians and many Britons would not fit into Poland.

Well, most part of Russia is in Asia so many of them look more like Asians then Europeans.
many Britons would not fit into Poland.
In Poland we have a mixture of all types of looks from the whole Europe, show me the example of Briton that would not pass as a Pole.
He does to me.
he does to me too
You guys haven't seen many Germans then ;-)

just take a look at WroclawBoy, he definately wouldn't pass as a Pole (he looks very English).
Are you from Roscommon?

Line up a ginger-haired Scot, a Pole, a Spaniard, a Greek and a Jew of Baltic origin, and you would definitely see the difference in these almost equally-white people.

I'd have said more northern European. I don't think he looks at all Polish or Slavic, but he wouldn't stand out in Poland. An Italian would stand out more.
You definitely don't look British!!
You mean English? Met lots of people who are "British" but have foreign parentage, so looking "British" means nothing.
He looks more German to me!

What's wrong with Roscommon?
Line up a ginger-haired Scot, a Pole, a Spaniard, a Greek and a Jew of Baltic origin, and you would definitely see the difference in these almost equally-white people.
What if I lined up ginger-haired Pole there and the one with dark hair and dark eyes? would you be able to tell where they are from?

Easy - the Pole would be wearing camo pants and carrying a reklamówka full of beer :D
Do I look Polish?
Could be Polish, but at the same time be any ethnicity which has Nordic blood in the mix, (German, Estonian, Russian, Swedish, Dutch..) You don't really have a typical Slavic face, light(er) hair and eyes with a slight Asian twist to it.
I don't think he looks at all Polish or Slavic
to me, he looks very Polish.

Yes, you could say i mean English, someone without foreign parentage.
To me, Thejunglist does not look like an Englishman. He has very high cheekbones and a very angular face.
These features are not typically English.If i passed him on the street, there would be no doubt in my mind that he was a foreigner.
I would like to know if I look Polish to you
I would say yes... Polish or Czech, generally western Slavic or some Slavic/Germanic mix.

James Hewitt, Prince Harry, Kate Winslet, Cheryl Cole, etc.
We had a girl in high school who was incredibly similar to Kate Winslet some even called Titanik as a nickname...
Wroclaw Boy
He looks more German to me!
So did Ralph Fiennes as Amon Goeth in Schindlers List, can you seriously tell the difference between ethnic English and Germans? Because i cant, perhaps thats because were from the same stock.
Even with the stereotypical dress, put the same dudes in opposite clobber and we have mirror images.......could pass as English or Germans....

It is hard to tell what country people come from. People make assumptions.
When I am in Poland people can't tell. Only when I speak can they tell that I am not Polish.
I wasn't in Poland and a Polish person assumed that I was Polish because I didn't speak immediately at the counter and I was greeted with "Witam"
I must try this on purpose sometime to see if I can get the same reaction :-) If they speak Polish to me then I can speak Polish to them :-)
I would like to know if I look Polish to you,
I don't look anything like you but you could be taken for (as I have been) Russian, Danish, Polish, Spanish, etc. If only some people would accept the reality that Europeans are, to say the least, a marvelous stew of genes...
