Hi, full-blooded Slav here. Dark hair, dark eyes, light brown skin, very Middle Eastern facial features, frequently mistaken for Arab, even in the Middle East. "Evolutionary speaking", we were in Europe for an even shorter than Ashkenazi Jews and that's not even mentioning our frequent mixing with tatar and Turkic people. Doesn't mean I'm not really white, though. Race and looks are two different things. I don't care how you choose to identify, but don't generalize.
