What ethnicity was Cleopatra? Some people think Greek, and others think Egyptian.
Cleopatra was ethnically Greek. Her name is the most common royal ancient Greek name. It means "she who has a glorious father" (κλέος=glory).She was the last of a long line of Greek Pharaohs that had begun with Ptolemy I Soter. Ptolemy I was a Macedonian nobleman and a general of Alexander the Great who had the good sense and fortune to establish himself in Egypt when Alexander died. His direct descendants the Prolemies ruled Egypt for over three centuries when Cleopatra was born.Almost all Cleopatra's ancestors (give or take a princess from Pontus, Persia or Syria) belonged to this ruling family. In fact she didn't have that many ancestors because she was a product of incest to the point that she had only two great-great-grandparents instead of the expected 16. Therefore she definitely was no exotic beauty. Look at this portrait.Also look at some of her ancestors. They weren't exotic beauties either. Ptolemy IVPtolemy VIPtolemy VIII (Fyskon=potbelly)Yes they all look the same. I said there was incest and it also seems that they liked food and drink a little too much.
What ethnicity do these people look?
What do you mean by Ethnicity? Ethnicity is often interpreted with few factors mainly physical and national, but the word is also meant to comprise other characteristics like culture, language, religion even continent sometimes! If you intend to use the word combining the characteristics above then it’s very hard to answer with accuracy but none the less I want to try so I would say:Indo-european, Slavic west

Which ethnicity are you generally mistaken for?
So, if you look at my profile picture, I’m well tanned.That picture was taken on one my good days. I had spent a summer playing tennis and it worked out well for my high school junior year school photo.\I usually don’t look like that. I have to preface that before this answer.Usually, I’m much paler.This was me today, after working on the Penn State One Acre Student Farm.I don’t have that nice orange (?) glow as in my profile picture.Anyway, people usually assume I’m white and/or Hispanic. I wrote an answer a while back about my best friend’s mom assuming Kindergarten Taylor was adopted from Mexico.Anyway, my dad is a general looking white guy and my mom is black. She’s not light skinned, as many assume, and has what I would call typical skin tone for an African American (brown, but not the darkest one can be).Additionally, my hair is not anything close to my mom’s. If I put in a ponytail, it will be close to straight. Also, I’m the shortest one in the family, at 5 foot 4 inches. My mom is the second shortest, at 5 foot 8 inches (read: not short for a woman) and my father is about 6 feet, so I look out of place with them. I remember when I toured Ohio State for the first time, this girl kept staring back and forth between my mom and I (my mom was the only clearly black person in the group). Like, “Yeah. This is my mom. I came out of her vagina. It’s not a hard concept to grasp.Anyway, I actually share more facial features with my mom than my dad.

Why is race and ethnicity so important to U.S society?
The deal with race is that when we see anyone, we automatically notice what features they have that make them different from everybody else. Everyone has some feature that makes them unique. It is natural for us to do so. But with race, we feel bad for realizing that they are different, because we have been taught about racial discremination being in our history, and in the history of other societies. We feel that we are still viewing them as different, and that we shouldnt. There are few real "racists" out there, but the media portrays people as if racism is still a major issue, and we believe them because we realize we view anyone of another race as different. True racism can only be found in trailer parks in Alabama, or at a KKK meeting. Dateline airs a story about 2 twins, whom nobody has ever heard of before, who were taught to dislike the black community, and to keep the white race living. They claim they are the epitome of what our society has turned into, and claim they are spreading hate to other people too. In reality, the only reason they were signed was because an african american was trying to show that racism is still alive, and that it was being spread. So really, race is really not that important, it is just made out to be.
