Guys, why does Sami Zayn (WWE wrestler) look like a white guy? He has red hair and pale skin like Irish person but he's actually Syrian from the middle east.

idk I don't really get white people

[Schamyl006]

There are pale blond & red haired blue & green eyed people among non-whites. My Dad's grandfather was blonde blue eyed but he was Kurmanji

ive never watched american wrestling but ive always wanted to. the stories and characters seem so fun and entertaining. unfortunately i think the "golden age" so to speak, of wwe/wwf has long passed. so i think i kind of missed out

The Middle-East isn't ethnically homogenous. Plenty of non-Arabs live in Syria, like Kurds, Turkic peoples, and Caucasians (meaning the region).

Even among Arabs, you'll find a lot of variance in skin color and general appearance.

Never heard of him. But I'm more a fan of the old school wrestlers where they wasn't scripted and actually fought.

Some Syrians, yeah. Most likely, your guy is of Circassian, Ossetian or otherwise Caucasian descent. Or he's just a very pale Arab, which is rare but certainly not unheard of.

He bought his red hair and light skin in Ireland.

American media portrays Syrians as black people though
