I think we need to narrow down the nationality.

Was he from the Indian Subcontinent?
The only person you're truly competing against, Wesley, is yourself.

No
Clarification: This is not a new question but since I was criticised for my response to the "artist" question previously - can you just confirm, does "not an artist" also mean "not an actor or theatrical performer"?
Confirmed
Would this rule out poets too?

Artists do art. Poetry is a prototypical example of art. Therefore, poets are artists. Any other definition that would be capable of excluding poets from the circle of art I would consider a creature from the domain of gender studies.

Only four questions left. It could be a Korean, Mongolian, Filipino, Persian, Levantine, Turkic, Mesopotamian, Ainu, Siberian, Southeast Asian or Central Asian man, or a man from the Indonesian archipelago or Arabian peninsula, or maybe an Armenian or Cyproit man depending on how you define Europe.

... or Russian, since they don't consider themselves European.

He included significant parts of Russia when he said "Siberian" and "Central Asian".
