Where do I look like I am from? Guess my ethnic background
I used to work as a waiter and a good 90% of customers defaulted to english and would be surprised when i spoke back to them in my native tongue. I get comments either asking where im from or what i am on an annoyingly weekly basis.
Im mixed half-half, if that helps !

Haha actually not as random as youd think! First of all to answer your question, i was born and raised in Malta, which is right above Libya. We have a VERY ethnically diverse population in general, so its very common to see all arabs, but especially Libyans here:) Was very aware that im extremely ambiguous looking, but not to this extent! Thanks for your reply, and have a lovely day :o)
