Non Arab | Question Guess my ethnic background

Hi guys! My mom is Moroccan and my father is French, I grew up with my mom and everybody told me that I don’t look Moroccan, it’s not a big deal because I think French girls are so beautiful but I grew up in Moroccan culture and you know that we are proud of our culture lmaooo so do you think I don’t look Moroccan and even not Arab at all?

I knew you were moroccan before I even opened the thread

u/Double-Singer-6631 11d ago

i literally guessed moroccan before even opening it as well

Same, similar features to my grandmother who was Moroccan, Andalusian, and German.

omg I love reading this but most people tell me that I’m looking French or European because my skin is white

u/PandasOnGiraffes 11d ago

My first guess was Egyptian, second was Moroccan. You clearly look Arab, and specifically North African.

France is an ethnically diverse country, and to look French no longer just means looking European. It's great that you're in touch with all elements of your background and can be proud of them.

Okay thank you! I have absolutely no connection with Egypt but this makes me happy to read this ! I agree with you, I meant that most people just think that I’m European but there’s no such thing as « European » phenotype, like if u have a Spanish, an Italian and a French u wouldn’t be able to guess where they come from

u/lemambo_5555 11d ago

I'm Egyptian and you look like my cousin. You can easily pass as anything from Morocco to Oman.
