OP you could pass for a Niger Delta woman, especially a Benin or Ijaw woman... |

aim5:You are right if we are to be too simplistic. I'll even add Urhobo to it. To me she looks very much Urhobo but I know the African American story. They've been mixed over a very long period of time and as such its difficult pinpointing a particular ethnic group. Surprisingly, some people are able to retain some looks and even structure peculiar to certain ethnic groups. This mostly favours the big tribes. In the case of OP, I'll say she doesn't really have the well identified Igbo nor Yoruba look. She could be any of them but does not possess that peculiar look that easily gives one away. To me she's tilted to the Niger Delta groups that I supported earlier. Binis didn't participate in slave trade and the ijaws were more of slave merchants. Urhobos on the other hand suffered under the trade but with little information to support it. |

m0rena35: Your claim or belief of that your dad's side of the family lacks any European mixture is most likely false. The fact of that they are dark skinned and may appear to lack any European features, means absolutely nothing when it comes to the topic of Genetics. Don Cheadle, Oprah Winfrey, Whoopi Goldberg and Danny Glover all appear to have a look in which may give some the idea of that they may lack any European mixture, but they all do have European mixture, and as much or nearly as much so as your average one-of-the-mill African-American does. It is impossible to tell if someone is genetically purely of one single racial makeup via appearance alone. |

Yujin: Based on historical records, it is EXTREMELY unlikely that she has any mixture at all from that ethnic group. It's nearly an impossibility. On the other hand, it is highly likely that she is of some significant Igbo descent. |

You don't look very Nigerian or the typical west African. Try south central African like Angola or maybe far west Africa like Senegal. |

m0rena35: That picture is of a Nigerian man who deceived his wife though: https://www.thesun.co.uk/archives/reallife/902802/my-husband-went-back-to-nigeria-last-christmas-to-wed-a-secret-new-wife/ |

m0rena35: You actually do seem rather mixed, I think it's something about your facial structure. I'm not sure where your non-African ancestry would indicate, possibly neither Europe nor Africa? |

Yujin: You could be somewhat right. |
