I always assumed Freddy Mercury was of Greek/Italian or Serbian ancestry or something like that, but it turns out he's Parsi (Indian Zoroastrian). Did you know this? Are you aware of any other notable individuals with surprising ethnic origins?

>Mercury (born Farrokh Bulsara; Gujarati: ફારોખ બલસારા, Pharōkh Balsārā) was born in the British protectorate of Sultanate of Zanzibar, East Africa (now part of Tanzania).[10][11] His parents, Bomi (1908–2003) and Jer Bulsara (1922–2016),[a][12] were Parsis from the Gujarat region of the then province of Bombay Presidency in British India.[b][13] The family surname is derived from the town of Bulsar (now known as Valsad) in southern Gujarat. As Parsis, Mercury and his family practised the Zoroastrian religion.[14] The Bulsara family had moved to Zanzibar so that his father could continue his job as a cashier at the British Colonial Office. He had a younger sister, Kashmira.[15]

WE WUZ THE CHAMPIONS

he is Iberian.

Seriously I've never seen an Indian look like that before

Parsis are the decendents of migrants from modern day Iran, which is why he looks Irani.

I think most people thought that too

He might just be degpemented, I think he looks more Indian black and white

*meant Persian

>decendents of migrants from modern day Iran,

so are a vast majority of other Indians and Pakistanis.

What makes Parsis different is that they strictly marry within their own community.

kekd hard

>Serbian ancestry

I thought Nikki Haley, the United States Ambassador to the United Nations, was just a tanned white lady. Her birth name was Nimrata Randhawa; Nikki is a nickname, and Haley is her husband's surname.

...

Dude was unironically such an OG Aryan that people in the West instinctively perceived him as one of their own, as opposed to a 'coloured' person.

Hmm...seems like POO DEFENCE FORCE Sup Forums wing has been activated in this thread

>When Haley was five years old, her parents entered her in the "Miss Bamberg" contest.[9] The contest traditionally crowned a black queen and a white queen.[9] Since the judges decided Haley did not fit either category, they disqualified her.[9]

I wasn't referring to his looks, the mere idea that Freddie Mercury is Serbian is just so bizarre.

Why? Tupac is alive in Serbia.

And he was born in Zanzibar

A random sarcastic comment I made on that thread yesterday had sprung this thread now

How funny is this board, isn't it

>Did you know this?
Yes, everyone knows that.

Same shit, but I thought he was Irish, lol. You know, they can look pretty eastern sometimes, like picrelated

Indeed. When Celt genes are stronk, Irish can look like Iberians.

Can confirm I'm black Irish like this and have been mistaken for pretty much everything north of Lebanon

What race is your dad?

I guess he doesnt know his dad.

Yeah, I'm pale and have ginger beard. My ex was half Irish and I look more Irish than she does, and I'm 100% Moortuguese.

Not African black.. it means dark featured black. Actually my dad is French. He looks kinda/med and/or native I can't tell really. But other than that I have no other mixture. Pale as a ghost with very med features.

Because Parsi = Persians =Iranian

yes i did

that's an Azeri Turk you know

>Actually my dad is French
I see.

lol. identitarians are retarded.

Half azeri and they are genetically the same as persians.

the rock is a pretty odd mix

his mom is samoan
his dad is a black nova scotian, descendant of slaves who fled after the revolution, probably with some white and native mixed in

indians CONFIRMED trve white aryan gods

>enter something you're not qualified for
>get disqualified

>Mercury and his family practised the Zoroastrian religion.
I told you faggots it's the best religion and you didn't believe me

>Did you know this?
I did

Jan Hammer. His name is hard to associate with western slavs, but he's a czech.

>so are a vast majority of other Indians and Pakistanis.
no

Colin would give a fine Iberian conquistador desu. Celt is strong in him.

>Zoroastrian religion.
Is that the religion where you worship the Antonio Banderas movies?

Steve Jobs was syrian

Katherine Z Jones is Welsh, I always thought she was like half Amerindian

Syrians are whitest sandniggers

this girl can pass as local in most of Europe better than me

>I'm black Irish
>my dad is french

>no

>his mom is samoan

USA! USA!

Underrated post

it's just good surgery and a spray tan

tan-in-a-can is blatant in her but her dark brown hair and eyes sure help
