One of my cousins (second) is like that. He also has hazel eyes and very sharp (think Sweden) facial features, but he tans as dark as I do. By the end of the summer, he looks like an Arian brotherhood frat boy wearing blackface. Part of the ancestry we share is Dutch, French and northern Italian, but my features are not as sharp because I have Native American and African (West and North) from my maternal grandfather's ancestry, where his side has Italian, Spanish and Portuguese.

Yeah, my family is a new world hodge podge.

Yeah my grandparents were all the children of European immigrants. It’s so far back and so mixed up and irrelevant to my daily life that I don’t even know. Except I love pierogis. I guess that’s the Ukrainian/Polish shining through.
