I can depending on how they dress but not really.

I can easily tell if a person is mixed though depending on features easier than I can tell what nationality they are.

Sometimes I can spot Africans by features alone, especially horners, other east Africans, Sudanese, etc. However I can only distinguish Caribbeans by their dress. Like one time I was at a grocery store in this super white town in northern Alabama and was pleasantly surprised to see another breh. :dame: But I could tell by his clothes that he seemed to be foreign, and I found out later that there was a small Haitian community in the town.

Haitians are kinda differentiatable cause of less admixture, and ive honestly never met a lightskinned haitian.
You never heard of this cat named Haitian Jack???
Rumor is that he was light-skinned, stocky, with a Haitian accent :lupe:

I can tell a Somolian, an Eritrean an Ethiopian from other countries in Africa. I think Nigerians and Ghanaians have a specific look too. Outside of that, no. Oh, and Egyptians and Moroccans to some degree.

Yes. I'm naturally an observant person plus I grew up and lived in pretty diverse areas.

I can do it with females because we naturally inspect them more And take note of patterns. I generally can’t tell with men other than a lot of West Indians be dark skin. Like u can tell instantly Bobby Shmurda is Jamaican if u from Brooklyn and his hairline is straight.

Many Jamaican women have distinctly hard faces and prominent noses like Spice (Don’t mean that offensively, I think Spice cute)

West African girls very often have the gap in the teeth...Different than the one some AA get.

A lot of Trini girls have very delicate features, Nia Long being the best example.

If a nikka telling you he can look at Rotimi or one of them nikkas and know he Nigerian he lyin or gay.
Rotimi look Nigerian, get mad

Went to the Bahamas as a kid. The citizens weren't allowed to gamble at the casinos. I asked how they knew who was who and he said there are differences between black americans and black citizens of the Bahamas. The ones selling shyt on the street looked a bit rough but other than that I couldn't tell.:yeshrug:

Keeping my overhead low, and my understand high
and if the thread title is too confusing , I don't mean from facial features :whoa::whoa:

I mean if you can tell if someone is Haitian , ADOS, Nigerian and any other member of the diaspora without talking to them , and just from a glance?

I know there's a meme here based on hairlines , does that actually work in real life? and do you sometimes get confused with a different nationality?
Usually
