Ethnicity: Eastern European Jewish. Complications: 1) My grandparents were atheists; I think my parents were somewhere between atheism and agnosticism. 2) Some of my relatives look as if they have Slavic ancestry. A smaller number look as if they have Central Asian ancestry.
I look as if I come from somewhere around the Mediterranean. I usually look white, but have at least once been taken for Hispanic. At my most tanned, I was darker-skinned than most Afro-Americans; and was once mistaken for a Bengali.

I'm US-born, live in the US.
