Someone told me that I have very small ears and a small nose(which is true). I was told that those were Hispanic features. Can anyone confirm this? I have been wondering for a long time.

that's totally untrue, because Hispanic is NOT A RACE. you have coal black, West African looking Hispanics from the Dominican Republic, as well as blonde Hispanics. there isn't one "Hispanic look". many people from South America and Central America have Middle Eastern and African heritage, as well as Native American.

Sometimes there are racial traits. My husband who is English and native Amrican has a dark complexion, high cheekbones and a very prominent "hook" nose which could either be English or American Indian.I am mostly of German descent in which occurs in me as not as a very physical but a personality trait. I am a very stubborn, matter of fact person. But that also could be because I am a Taurus in which this is a very common trait.:lol:

there are ethnic traits as well. i am half Sicilian (which i just call Italian), a quarter Portuguese, and a quarter Lithuanian. my very pale skin is from my Lithuanian heritage, my dark eyebrows come from both the Italian and Portuguese sides, my face structure is more Portuguese, etc.

but it depends on what part of the continent. Northern Europeans (Scandinavians, Lithuanians) have a whole different look from Europeans living along the Mediterranean (Italians, Portuguese, etc.) So there are racial traits.

but as a point to make, Hispanic isn't a race.
