What Races/Ethnicities would the Mane 6 (+ Sunset and Starlight) possess?

Ok. I'll start.

​

So far my head canons for Twilight, Pinkie, and Applejack are the following:

​

✨Twilight - South Asian. Ik the show leans her towards more Japanese tropes (her hair design and her eqg design gives off subtle Japanese uniform vibes) due to her work ethic and striving to be the best as a student and later on as a leader. Personally, I can see her as south asian too.

​

🎈Pinkie Pie - African-American and/or Latina. She literally thrives on celebration which both cultures are centered around so her being AfroLatina mix makes sense to me. Not to mention her hair gives it away too with her tight curls and textured hair tho we see other ponies (like twilight) also can have textured hair so that's up for debate.

​

🍎Applejack - Biracial. The typical farm girl archetype with the love for bluegrass/country music and southern hospitality. To me she gives off southern belle with a strong, beautiful heart. In later seasons, we learn that her and her siblings are half pear so I take it this means the apple siblings are biracial in a sense. This also applies how biracial siblings can look differently from each other. Applejack takes more after her mom, applebloom is a spitting image of their dad, and Big Mac has a mix of colors from both. I think it's a really nice touch.

​

🦋 Fluttershy - Indigenous. Fluttershys nature itself doesn't give me much to work with and we don't really know much about her parents until much later in the show. So based off of fluttershys personality I say she's indigenous because she has a very strong connection to the environment like animals, plants, the sky, etc. she keeps to herself and doesn't want to bother anyone she would rather stay indoors surrounded by peace and nature.

​

🌈 Rainbow Dash - Puerto Rican or Brazilian. The reason why I say these is because of her energetic background. Her energy and athleticism remind me of these two cultures. I can definitely see rainbow coming from a background such as these which would explain her character as an adult. Once she sets her mind to things she's unstoppable which is one of the best qualities about her.

​

💎 Rarity - French or French-Asian. Rarity would be another mix to me. The only appearance in the show her parents make they give off typical Midwestern family but that doesn't mean she can't be mixed :). She is obsessed with the haute couture aesthetic which is where I got the French from and she has a love for fashion and design which is where I got the Vietnamese from. She also relies on herself for her goals and success and built her empire from the bottom up showing off her hard working trait.

​

I'm not entirely sure about sunset and starlight as I can't put my finger on it but I'm curious to see what you all have to say :).

​

These are jus my personal headcanons and are not meant to offend anyone it's just for fun 😊
