Purely answering the question: Roma were from indian descent, which are partially your roots... so yes, could be. But then, what do I know. I have a friend from Armenia who does somehow look like you (despite he is having a better haircut  ).

You have stated no arguments to support your perception of the Czech Republic as an intolerant country, other than that you lived somewhere in "Eastern" Europe for several years, and that you've "heard" of the Eastern European nationalisms getting worse. Totally convincing indeed.
Basically, you're saying "regardless of how flawed my opinion is, it's still a mere opinion so don't attack me." Fair enough, but is this opinion any credible then?
Imagine someone saying "I lived in Texas for some time and I've heard that all people in California either look like Ken and Barbie or they're gang members. Am I talking nonsense? Oh, back off and stop insulting me, I'm free to spread my opinions."

I never said your precious country was intolerant - you did. I also have a suggestion to what you can change your name to - it begins with an a and ends with an e. I'll let you guess the rest - I'm sure you can figure it out since you're not the one who's dum[sic].
You childish rantings just dig you deeper and deeper into your hole. If you would just go back to my post where I suggested that he can leave, you'll see I also suggested another alternative. You, however, have spun a personal insult out of what I stated to the OP when I don't even know who you are and I wasn't even talking to you. You've managed to find ways to attack me personally, which is against the TOS by the way, because of your perceived slight against your country. If you're an adult, it's about time you started behaving like one.

How come?

I don't know how to really answer this question aside from maybe the Caucasian and African populations are larger in the certain areas that you see more mixed marriages.
I myself am in a mixed marriage and both my parents as well as my husband's parents are in mixed marriages as well. I am French/ Native American on my mom's side and Colombian on my dad's side. My husband is German on his mom's side and Thai on his dad's side. But I think mixed marriages are just more the norm based on how and where I was raised.

Maybe your little problem can be solved if you get your hair cut to short hair size. Wear 'nice' clothes and a tie. Nobody will notice you then. You will be happy!

There are gypsies here in Spain and in the south of France. They tend to have olive complexion, dark hair and dark eyes and both man and women tend to keep their hair long. So yes, you could look like a Spanish Gypsy.
I add link to picture of a famous Gypsy flamenco dancer.
farruquito pictures - Google Image Search
Having said so there are some common feature to many mediterranean countries. I am from Italy and you could easily look like an Italian man from the South.
In any case there is nothing wrong with your look and I would not worry about it.

Hey there hutch 5, in fact when I was in the States, people asked me if I was from south america or latin america...I guess the fact that I'm fluent in spanish augments this problem...haha
To DutchWriter: What do you mean by "nice clothes"? You mean dress pants and dress shirt everyday??? I couldn't never do that...I'm just a student and hardly have the time for that...
