White girl finds out she is 12.5% indian

A girl whose maternal grandfather supposedly descended from an English man in British raj India and a Portuguese-Welsh lady found out that her great grandmother lied about being Portuguese and was actually indian. She probably did it to avoid the racism back then and passed as an extremely atypical Portuguese lady. Everyone in the comments is telling her that she looks indian, but she doesn't look indian to me. She could pass as Southern Italian to me and isn't dark skinned at all.

I know that feeling and it sucks. The same happened to me too, I found out I was half aboriginal- half mayan, that's the reason behind my long hiatus from TA.

How can she think she is 100% white and have permanent tan? lol

It's only 12.5% so it shouldn't make much of a difference, but I think it's noticeable for sure (could be due to bias), but without a doubt, she can (as atypical) pass for Southern Italian too.

Idk if she's "permanently" tanned, she could be naturally pale with an live base. Her facial features look mostly euro to me.

But anyways she even said she would have been even more shocked if she found out she was 100% euro and not something else.

I could have told her that

She definitely looks partly non-white. I would've assumed minor South Asian.

I think she does have some influences maybe, most notably it made her more prone to being olive skinned, but I think she can pass in South europe. Plus 12.5% of Indian ancestry should still keep her within the European range (in genetic clusters) seeing as Indians are predominately caucasoid, and the rest of her ancestry is euro.

She looks a bit Indid indeed.

With that face she would be classified as gypsy in Italy in any case could pass in bigger South Italy cities ofc, like any other big cities (Paris included).
