The only Aborigines that look different were the Tasmanians, mostly because they had kinky hair:




^ This look is very unique, exotic, and IMO, unattractive.

Have you been to Australia before? Again, googling don't always give you a accurate depiction of people. Therefore the best way to understand a people and get a accurate assessment is to visit the region, then you can draw your own conclusions. As far as what is attractive and what is not attractive is relative to me, we are all victims of our cultural upbringing. In other words, what is considered attractive today, may be ugly tomorrow.

PS... I travel all the time, and have been to 13 countries so far

The question is have you been to that region, and been to their community and cultural centers, such as red fern which is a ghetto in Sydney or any of the communities in the outback? Again to get a accurate assessment of the people, and sit done and listen to their elders and hear their stories and point of views. That is what i talking about.

Who said ugly? They are humans right? Ugly is a mind state, not a phenotype. Aborigines are unattractive to me, because they are way beyond my norm. And between Belize and the NYC, the only phenotypes that look "beyond my norm" are them.

That is why i said beauty is influenced by cultural upbringing and influences, therefore it is relative. What you written is basically what i said.

Agreed. I'd also like to add "Pygmies", Siberians, "Negritos", Andaman Islanders, Khoisan, and pure Nilotes to my list of "exotic" people

[Kimaamighed]

It takes a little or a lot at the same time for people to percieve you differently

People I feel Would get Asked questions and at the same time be perceived as rather normal in a way[ and some people that would stand out a lot

[AnthonyKing]

Thinking about it now, Cushitic people and some Ethiopians (not all) look very "exotic", but easily able to label...at least for me.

Beside, the khoisan man, most of the people you posted is easily categorized. I have seen some west africans with similar appearances as Tyson beckford, eventhough he is half asian.

Here are a couple people I think would be seen as exotic. I'll make a longer lister later

Where do you live? I see this pheno everyday.

[Maymayfor]

To many people these Phenotypes seem exotic

Some you've seen already






Faces you don't see very often...

IMO Indonesians look very exotic!

[Snuddyentaine]

I dont find Blacks or Asians to be exotic
Middle easterners and South Americans are always gonna be exotic because they look mixed

[Biashpainabix]

Andids, Australoids and South Asians are rare here and would be considered exotic. There's some overlap between some of our triracials and some australoids and South Asians, but not that much.

Exotic does not mean not easliy labeled most people know Iman as black however she is Exotic in that she is not seen everyday in the mainstream. Tyson beckford is not half asian he.s like a 1/4 or 1/8 Either his Grand or great granfather. He is also Latino. He is Panamanian/Jamaican. The closest on your day to day to Tyson Beckfor is Tyrese, and that doesnt match exaclty. Features that arent Frequently duplicated in society are exotic. In brazil, Emanuela de Paola is NOT exotic , here she is, Iman is exotic here not in the horn especially Somalia.

Just because he has a Panamanian relative doesn't necessarily make that relative "Latino". Panama is a multiethnic nation with over 300,000 people of Anglo- and French Caribbean ancestry...That relative my have ironically just been a Jamaican working on the Canal... Central America is a lot more complex than you think...

I undertand the complexities of latin America and and in this case Panama, however my assumption based on statistically likelihood is that he was/is latino, but you're right that could have been a possibility. I just read on Wiki that his father is a Jamaican of Panamanian descent. So is he Latino or Jamaican? or Both ah questions questions.


Btw I have a few friends form central America namely Honduras.

[alecoplesosse]

There are virtually no non-white people living in the country where I live (exception are the Gypsies and Turks, but they're also Caucasoid) so every person with a non-Caucasoid phenotype would seem exotic here.

He is a Panamanian of Jamaican descent, simple as that. And likely sounds like most Anglo-Afro-Central Americans, pseudo-Belizean.

Are those friends Garifuna brethren, Mestizos (I use that liberally when referring to Hondurans), Bay Islanders, Miskito, Pech or Lenca?

[attanilifardy]

Other phenotypes that would be considered exotic here.

Let be realistic here, Tyson appearance is not that unusual from a american or other western countries perspective, in other words, people would not ask "WHAT IS HE"? However, the same cannot be applied for these children..







People will ask"WHAT RACE ARE THEY"? or WHERE ARE THEY FROM due to the fact their appearance is not the norm and some people might stupidly say from the third picture of the two blonde hair girls, "they look like white kids with a good tan"that statement usual comes from people that don't have any knowledge of other people in the world besides their own.

[Anckzxik]

Ambiguity does not equal exotic to me. I find these folk to be exotic or apporaching the exotic look










I met Tyrese before, not to mention there were other celebs there , this man really stands out of the crowd in person, looks different than everyone esle
