Re: Do people mistake you for another race?
Tamil Nadu is in South India so I wasn’t wrong…I just didn’t exactly know her place of birth and origin (which now I do and it’s also in South India). And if I remember it correctly South Indians are also called Dravidians and considered a race.
“Nevertheless, Indians are classified by modern anthropologists as belonging to one of four different morphological or ethno-racial subtypes, although these generally overlap because of admixture: Caucasoid, Mongoloid, Australoid and Negrito. Dravidians are generally classified as members of the Proto-Australoid race. In one study, Sothern Indian Dravidians clustered genetically with Tamils, a socially endogamous predominantly Dravidian speaking Australoid group. …”
