[herrwolf88]

Hello everyone I have observed that many people request racial classifications of themselves thought the Apricity Forum and it occurs that I'm interested myself to be classify racially speaking but I'm not sure if this particular Forum is the correct place to do so. anyway any answer will be thank and if this post is out place here then I won't bother if the administrators delete it or move it but give me the info about where could this post go. With nothing further to add for the moment wish you a good night or day.

To everyone that have replied so far:

1. indeed I was born in Latin America specifically in Argentina but my ancestors are not latinoamericans as far I know my greatgrandfather and his wife got to Mendoza from Malaga in the 1908.And about the possibility that I could have Amerindian blood I not sure that Amerindians are that common in this part of latinamerica I mean if we were in Mexico Peru or Bolivia which are countries with strong Amerindian presence I could understand that maybe I have an Amerindian ancestor ( cosidering what you're saying) but nevertheless I have no details about my genealogical three that could overrule Amerindian presence on my heritage that's the reason I'm consulting you and if it's the case it'd be very interesting to know what facial features leaded you to conclude I may be partially of Amerindian descent.

2. About the 25 post I need to post in the personal taxonomy forum I'm totally cool with that rule but since some for your answers were related to my consultationi felt that it was jus fair to give you a proper reply

To conclude thanks to everyone and their replies you can expect soon new posts from me on any forums.

Are you trying to suggest there are no mestizos in Argentina?

You actually seem as Amerindian as the average Mexican. Argentine's indigenous influence is strong as well.

Your face is constructed more or less like a chilean, short broad face and very prominent cheekbones. I think you're 40% indigenous.

I may could agree with some of the things you point out in your reply but I''m not sure about the "look like the average Mexican" the average Mexican is much more dark skinned their hair and facial features are unmistakable Amerindians their features are really prominent and you can easily spot them, that's why I don't understand why you compare Chileans to Mexicans it is true that some Chileans are actually of Amerindians Descent but something like 35% of them have European Heritage just watch former Presidents Bachelet or Pinochet or incumbent president Piñera and you'll see what I'm talking about on the other hand about 60% of Chileans are product of racial mix between indigenous population of Chile and European people and the resulting offspring looks just like Alexis Sanchez from Chilean national football squad and current Barcelona FC player and he certainly does not look like me just his skin color is rather dark compare to my own features but then again you're the specialists this is just an opinion.

Also about the Amerindian presence in Argentina I gonna show you how Argentinians with Amerindian heritage look like (when mixed with Europeans) that in Argentina are called "negro" sometimes in a loving other times in a discriminatory way.

To conclude in order to illustrate everything I said before I'll attach to this Reply pictures of all the characters I mentioned including what I as a Latin America inhabitant consider as the average Mexican and that one who is part of the 9% of Mexican population who is of European descent.

[Peasant]

Clearly not here.

[Sikeliot]

I'd have guessed Turkish.

[Tabiti]

Just tell him he is a 100% Med Euro looking and close the thread;)

P.S. My first thought was Turkish as well.

I agree, reminds me of the average Chilean in his features, jaw and cheekbones.

Your grandparents' migration from Spain in 1908 is sufficient to justify your Amerindian mix, based on your features of course.

[herrwolf88]

Are you trying to suggest there are no mestizos in Argentina?

Not at all of course there are mestizos in Argentina but is far less common that in Mexico or Peru (in the case of Ameridians mixed with Europeans) or than Venezuela or Brasil (in the case of Black people mix with Europeans) in fact more than 80% of Argentinian population is of European descent (some say 85%) and those Ameridians you mention are present mostly in the southern part of the country and are rarely seem in Buenos Aires or Mendoza for instance. and as I point out in one reply they look just like Kun aguero or "el negro" Ibarra (you should know who Aguero is since you´re Spanish and he played in Atletico de Madrid)

[research_centre]

I am not seeing that he displays an Amerindian influence at all. He is lighter and his face structure is not beyond the realm of being Spanish at all. There is something here that suggests to me he is clearly Southwestern Mediterranean Spanish.

He does not look Native Chilean at all. Chileans are darker, with a more compact skull structure and far more prominent brow ridge and cheekbone structure that is far more prominent.

Jesus Christ, where do some of you learn your classification skills? The local bar?

Never.

not at all that's not the idea if I'm part Amerindian which is possible (I wasn't born in Finland you know) I like to learn beyond any reasonable doubt what were the specific features that lead you to that conclusion I give no importance to the fact I'm white or Amerindian based on your morphological analysis is merely an anthropological interest to learn about the human races that's all. is not a social complex or a racial resentment because in Argentina I'm not consider Amerindian or "negro" so is not important. but you know there are a lot of countries beside my own and I would like to know what other people think on scientific bases about my heritage based on my appearance that's about it man nothing else there's no need to be aggressive or mock other's people perceptions .

I don't waste my time. Yes, my eyesight is fine. If this guy is Chilean then what next someone going to say that Nadel is Amerindian too? Come on.

[Sikeliot]

He looks part Native American or Central Asian or something.. many Turks and Azeris do look like him.

I don't know of many Turks or Azeri's who have his mouth or jaw. There is a slight Native American or Oriental vibe to his appearance from the eyes alone, yet I see that with some Spaniards too.

hehe sometimes amazes me how difficult is for some Easterner see Native American factions, nothing happens, do not get nervous.

[Sigur Rós]

Mestizo. (indio-europeo)

[Gamera]

You are a mestizo.

And I suggest everyone else to take into consideration Latin American and Spanish opinions on his appearance, since we have much more experience with such phenotypes.

Indeed, that square face is very common in Chileans:

The face of herrwolf is strikingly similar to the face of an average Chilean except by skincolor and more sunken/deeper eyes, otherwise features are identical.

[Black Sun Dimension]

Yep, there is amerind in you. Im guessing 15% to 25% more or less.
