Sri Lankans have a somewhat big component of Neolithic Iranian Farmer DNA which is in general part of the 'pale' ancestral population groups in the broader Caucasian groups. Either that interesting interplay of genetic expression is the reason, or it is not her dad.

@@ahmedkamel7065 thank you brother for spreading this message. If you havent already, I reccomend checking out Sheikh ahmad deedat video on addressing common questions by christians
She’s not Sri Lankan though she’s part Sri Lankan assuming she has a Sri Lankan passport, I don’t get why people make it out to be a massive thing I don’t give two shits from where someone comes from it doesn’t make you special
I had a friend growing up who was half Indian and half white. Her dad was pretty dark but she came out white with the prettiest blue green eyes I have ever seen. I’m mixed as well my mom is Irish and puerto Rican and my dad is black. People have said I looked Somali, Ethiopian, Indian, and they never believed my mom was my mom I feel this girls pain lol
My mom is white with blue eyes. My dad is black. I am brown. But I still look like my mom and my dad. Even though i have different skin color and eyes. BUT people think i am Moroccan, Surinam, Indian, Brasil. I am Netherlands and Carribean (Curacao). I just look to much like my mom and my dad with the mixed skin color
so you’re a racially ambiguous person from the sounds of it lol. That’s a pretty cool ethnic background you have, family gatherings must be fun as heck
It’s unfortunate for the ppl n that situation, but the concern is usually just genuine concern for a child (in her hypothetical kidnapping scenario lol) or innocent curiosity n normal conversational scenarios. Imo sure it gets tiring. In fact, I know it does. I had the same type of thing growing up. Just under different circumstances. It wasn’t a skin color thing.
@@yunishajjz my sister her dad is somalian. We share same mom. Different black dad. But she has some genes of Somalian which are really good tbh. Body is very slim fit. High forehead. Big lips. Curls. Big.. butt. I have seen more kids with white mother and somalian dad. It is a good mix. O and also yes i have seen half black half white kids who have a brown skin and blue eyes. Or a very almost white skin. But they have curls or other things that confirm they are not "white". Or to confirm they are not "black"
I got pulled into an interrogation room with my sister crossing the Canadian border with my dad. After mt parents divorced he moved to Utah and we’d take a new route each trip out-planned by my sister and I on the map he sent a few weeks before his arrival. No problem crossing the border with his new gf we barely knew but just mt dad on our way back-major questions. Scary to my sister and I.
Sri Lankan Tamil genetics, if her dad was Sinhalese (I checked on her IG he is not) than she would look Sri Lankan. Our genetics aren't this weak. Sinhala genetics are best in the world, Aryan superior
It hurts because you can't understand how her mother's character will be criticised. Many people will accuse her mother of cheating behind her father's back and say that she is perhaps not his biological child.

@@seamluss"Gr**owna$$ man"? The only grown thing here is the distance between your brain cells. And bro, your insults are as cringe-worthy as your inability to grasp the beauty of a diverse, multilingual world. The school where I'm learning has better kids who can embrace the real world, where people can be diverse and still speak multiple languages. A person's ability to speak your mother tongue, regardless of appearance, is something to celebrate, not belittle with words like 'weird' or 'awkward.' Get with the times, kiddo! Anyways, wanna know how I assumed you're a kid? Because of the blunt way you've said "weird" in your first reply comment. Only a child's brain would tailor a set of commands to produce something like that.

It's not power of iris genetics. It's simply biological phenomenon. Women has two x chromosomes and man has 1 chromosomes whenever genetics change happens in most of the cases women has high chance to get their mother side genetics in dominant
I can actually relate, my dad’s half Vietnamese half German (born in Vietnam), but he looks very Vietnamese. He married my mom, who’s Scottish Irish and German, then had me blonde hair, blue eyes. The amount of times when I was with my dad, people have thought I was a friend’s daughter, adopted, or my mom cheated behind his back, it was exhausting. One of the hardest things was my grandmother (dad’s mother) thought my mom had cheated for a while, after she accepted that I was her granddaughter, it took her a long time to except me. Though it was difficult growing up, I wouldn’t change places with anyone in the world. I really love my dad and my grandma, they are some of the strongest people I know. One of the things I’ve always wished was that people weren’t so obsessed with little things, while I have blonde hair and blue eyes, I actually have a lot of my dad’s features. I’m just really sick of people looking at me funny when I go to the Asian store or something, why can’t I embrace my culture like everybody else? If you read this, sorry for rambling so much these are just my thoughts.❤ Edit: We do have a DNA test (he’s definitely my dad) but we did that a while after I was born, while we were searching for my dad’s biological father. Edit 2: I am not a victim, I’m proud of my genetics and the perspective they have given me in life.
I met a girl that is half irish and half indian malaysian. She had green eyes and beautiful ginger hair. I would never had guess that she was malaysian. She spent the next 20 mins trying to convince me.😂😂 That irish gene is really strong. Usually dark hair and eyes are dominant. I am part sri lankan (Tamil) malaysian and part chinese. I look like a north Indian in the end
That's coz Indians have nearly 30 all the way upto 60% Iranian dna and yes Iranians are Europeans genetically and have light eyes . Irish are obviously fully European , thats why Indo Europeans all look more European than Indian .
@@raghunandanbs2005thats not true. 90% of Indians are Indians and Asian and have dark skin. Maybe 10% are Iranian. Iranians are not white but Asian actually.
As a black child of a white mother I understand this deeply. I don't look mixed at all and people who hear my heritage without seeing me assume I must be like Halle Berry-Zendaya light and don't believe I'm more like Queen Latifah or anyone just lookin regular mid-range black. But irl, people don't believe I have a white mother and sister because I "don't look mixed". As a kid I literally watched someone argue with my mother that we can't actually be her real kids because how could some6as white as her (Irish and Scottish) produce such dark children. Like. We came out of her body one at a time, she knows.
I am white and have a black daughter. The ignorance we’ve experienced has been crazy. A mother’s love transcends everything though. May God bless your family. ❤
I’m mixed with Nigerian,Indian and Irish as my mums half Anglo Indian an half Irish and my dads half Nigerian ,people think I’m faking my ethnicity while telling me I’m not mixed as I’m not caramel skinned,people be so ignorant 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Anglo Indians are either fully white or half white half Indian. I'm guessing your dad is half Nigerian half white. You have 1 white parent and 1 mixed raced parent. I think people would class you as white with Nigerian (and possibly Indian) heritage. I can't see people not understanding that.
@@davidsegovia9644Anglo Indians refers to those British peoples who settled in india and stayed back in india after India's independence. In india there're two Eurasian community, the Anglo Indians and luso Indians. Luso Indians are the Portuguese people who stayed back on india while same for Anglo Indians. Some famous Anglo Indians are like the indian author Ruskin bond or the indian poltician Derek O brein or the author of jungle book while some famous luso Indian is indian actress called Ileana D'Cruz
If test results show he is not the father, Will her mom tell who is real father? Will her real father dare to accept her if he is married and has kids because his wife may not allow him.

As a half Indian and English, I can see the SL in her despite her whiteness. She looks mixed but it takes a trained eye to see it. Sad for her dad. She loves her dad. ❤
I'm on South Indian descent (anthropologically similar to Sri Lankans) and I can actually see bit of Sri Lankan, it's mostly with the facial structure, especially with the nose. However, the untrained eye wouldn't be able to tell. Gorgeous girl though!
@@AngreenwoodSouth Asians are not a race. Nikki Haley is 100% Indian. So is Rohit Bal. South Asians are a mix of Caucasus Hunter Gatherers, Steppe Herders, and SE Asians from SE Asia. They are all mixed to different degrees. So some are 80-90% Caucasian genetically and look fully Caucasian, even with Pale skin and blue eyes and blonde hair, while others are black skinned and look like stereotypical Tamils. There are also South Asians that look fully East and SE Asian. It’s extremely diverse.
I also thought that there were both Tamils and Sinhalese living on Sri Lanka, with the Tamils being more Dravidian, like the people in southern India, and the Sinhalese rather Indo-Aryan, like the people in northern India.
Note to everyone, I'm aware of the Sinhalese and their anthropological similarity to North Indians, all I'm trying to say is that I notice some (South) Indian features in this girl...which represents the Sri Lankan in her (since she said her father is Sri Lankan). Either way, it's all mixed up these days so maybe she's more Sinhalese as opposed to Tamil!
@@deadsick95 south Asians are mixed with steppe herders, SE Asians and Caucasus Hunter gatherers to different degrees. So they can at either extreme look Middle Eastern, White or SE Asian or a mix of all to varying degrees. Which would make them look like any race
A lot of Sri Lankan people look like dark-skinned white people so it makes sense that a Sri Lankan person could have European-looking kids if they don't inherit his skin color.

I'm Sri Lankan but my sister looks full mexican/latina all because we're mixed with Dutch ancestry. Also I have a whole side of the family who look just like the girl in this video because they're all half English except we're Aussie instead of British. It's a bit strange for outsiders to see their lankan parents speak because they have a lankan accent but look English. Kinda wild lol
Sri Lankan Tamil genetics, if her dad was Sinhalese (I checked on her IG he is not he is tamil) than she would look Sri Lankan. Our genetics aren't this weak.
Lol my grandpa is a white latino (I am a brown more indigenous looking latina). When I was walking with him one time I swear these yt folks were eyeing my grandpa and I as if I was his sugar baby. No idiots that’s my grandpa.
Me too. people thinks always when they see my first with my dad and I get sometimes the question is that your dad. My father is European/Dutch and my mother is mixed for 50%,Indonesian/Dutch. my grandpa was orginally from Indonesia.
Yuh like I'm pretty sure this rando lady punched me in my arm on the street because she thought my dad and I weren't related and thought I was some kid dating an old man ☠️ Like I'm literally just walking alongside my parent and I get punched for it ☠️☠️
I understand it's annoying that you and your family have had to explain that your dad is your Dad, but the security guard stopping your dad when he was carrying you as a 4 year old is to be praised. The risk of the security guard getting a perceived kidnapping wrong is minimal (you and your dad being annoyed), but the risk of security being too afraid to upset / annoy a man carrying a 4 y/o child that doesn't look like him could mean the child dying (if it was a real kidnapping). We should be brave enough to create a little discomfort if it means saving a child.
there is a small community in Sri Lanka called the Burghers, who are of mixed euro-Asian ancestry (mostly Portuguese and Dutch), which might explain this.
I am half Portugese , born in Portugal, and my mom from Nepal...my face keep changing.😂😂 i looked more like a chinese and indian parentage, and then , during my twenties my face to more nepalese, when i was working in the usa people thought was a Mexican..😂😂😂 and now i live in malaysia...people think i am burmese, indonesia , thailand and i always get bullied by the guys and woman in the street, in the bus😒😒😒😒😒and 😅😅😅😅 ..end up fighting with the people in there are sometimes end up making police reports 😅 .sometimes i do cry😊....
More than 500 years. You'd be surprised to learn how many Sri Lankans who identify as Sinhalese or Tamil have Burgher/ European ancestry. And vice versa obviously ;)
bhurgers are just who slept with dutch portuguese for money and the portugese left the country and their kids remained. This girl is genuinely got mixed
This is more common than you would think. Dad’s family are from Scotland, Mum’s family are from India (Gujarati), but I got mostly my Dad’s genetics. I’ve been told that my Mum is not my real Mum etc but you learn to brush it off. My bro looks more Indian than I do, so going on a family trip on the bus as kids and having my parents swap us between them, to the horror of the other passengers was fun 😅
You have both gentics equal. You do not have genetics more of one parent. Mom gave XX and Dad gives XY or XX. It is 50/50. Like i have brown hair but i might carry the gene for red hair. Also our parents carry a lot of genes. We all do and you do not know what will be shown in the phenotype.
Now that I think of it, every mixed Indian subcontinent person I've met I thought was entirely Indian before I got to know them. In this its just the other way around... A lot of Indian genetics actually came from Eastern European steppe people, so if you remove the melanin facially they're not too different from Europeans...
Kemcho?....its nice to hear your experience as u being a mixed guy, and as a gujarati i am hearing this for the first time what mixed guy has to go though finding it difficult to explained to someone for their parents and their own looks.
I can’t even be mad at those people because I would love to have them as neighbors! People who look out for other people and speak up when something is wrong and just don’t stand around to watch.
@@Jem923 We are both commenting on a video were a father left the store with his own daughter. No kidnapping going on in that story.

I am a Balinese married to a Chinese descent, we have 3 sons. Many times people would think that I am the kids nanny instead of their mom. They took more the Chinese side.
I think chinese genetic is very strong. An north indian lady married to chinese men. Their child (son) look like more chinese. specially eyes and skin color.

if you know British, Portuguese and Dutch people colonized Sri Lanka and sri lankan people have mix genetics you would never question her. It's a very small island. Many sri lankan's are mixed race within the country that they themselves not aware of because of their long history of being under different colonizers. I have done 23&me and I'm 8% Taiwanese. I have no idea where that coming from nor does 1.1% European. both my parents were born in Sri Lanka and buddhists. And people never guess that my ethnicity is sri lankan or from any part of Asia.
Taiwanese is because of a lot of austro-asiatic influence in all Indian genetic profiles. They were one of the first people to come out of Africa and have a shared ancestry with the Taiwanese, nagas of Nagaland and mundas and other hill tribes from Odisha, Jharkhand and north east.
Sri Lankans are mixed and they need to do more studies to document the genetic diversity of the country. It's a small island where a lot of people have intermixed with each other. I'm Sinhalese and I have some Malay ancestry and from 23andMe I learned my paternal haplogroup is of East Asian origin (Haplogroup O). Sri Lanka was settled by so many ethnic groups like Sinhalese, Tamils, indigenous Vedda, Malays/Indonesians and Europeans among others. That 8% Taiwanese could represent undefined Austronesian ancestry. Taiwanese Aboriginals are Austronesian. Austronesians have a long history of contact with Sri Lanka dating back centuries and still evident to this day with the Sri Lankan Malay community. I wouldn't be surprised if a country-wide study revealed something like "20% of all Sri Lankans have at least partial Malay ancestry" on top of the Sri Lankans who identify as full Malay because the impact of Malays is so significant it doesn't make sense for only a small portion of Sri Lankans to have Malay ancestry. Miscegenation would've allowed for Malay customs to be adopted by other communities on the island. 1.1% European would come from European colonial ancestry. Maybe you have a recent ancestor who is a Dutch Burgher.
@hkc2140 They say Austronesians originated in Taiwan and then spread out to other parts of Asia and the Pacific. Malays and Indonesians have a long history of contact with Sri Lanka and there is a Sri Lankan Malay community. They had a significant impact on the culture of Sri Lanka. I'm not Malay but I'm a Sinhalese person who has partial Malay ancestry, many others would have it too. I'm guessing 8% Taiwanese may represent mislabelled Austronesian ancestry.
I’m quite good at spotting subtle mixed race traces even for those who are only a quarter mixed race - this lovely girl though does not have a hint of mixed race lol - I was expecting her to say that one of her parents is only a quarter mixed and therefore she would be only 1/16th Sri Lankan - but unfortunately I just don’t quite believe she is half Sri Lankan - there’s gotta be at least A HINT of it surely!!
Sri Lanka is a beautiful Island country , been there couple of times.They recently went through lot of financial crisis and hopefully things are better there now ..
Not sure why a lot of people are doing doubting her. My Nieces are Asian English. You wouldn't think they're mixed race as they look English with brunette hair.
Because genetics is like mathematics, and you can study and predict which traits will manifest based on percentages. As someone mentioned above, it's the recessive genes. This girl is mostly European, because to have blue or light eyes and blonde hair, you need two copies of a recessive gene for blue eyes and blonde hair, one from each parent. It means her father must have it in his genes, recessive and hidden, and passed them on. I believe he must be half european to inherit one of the recessive traits for blue eyes and one for blonde hair, yet didn’t show up because he only had one for each, so her daughter could get those from him, and thinking her mum already does, she had two recessive from which she could only pass one, then she manifested them. so she is only less than a quarter Sri lankan. In terms of nationality she may be half Sri Lankan, but we don’t know in terms of genetics!
@@mSherylynhe might be a Burgher person. Genetics are actually random, not so much mathematical, that’s just what race scientists want you to think. As a mixed person myself I’m also not racist so I don’t have meltdowns over the ethnicities of mixed people like they do in western countries.
