I think the second one passes better, the first one passes in the upper social classes.

Apart from some rare outliers, who on Earth in Latin America looks like either Reese Witherspoon or Gabourey Sidibe?

I meant the statement that both Sally and Karyn can equally pass.

Oh OK. But the point about Karyn is that she has a light-skinned triracial look that can pass in more places than were she to look more 'stereotypically' Afram.

More places? She can't pass in Bolivia, Paraguay, Mexico or Argentina for example.

I meant she'd pass in more places compared to a more 'average' or 'stereotypical' Afram. In any case, at least in Bolivia and Mexico, there are some Black-admixed people who wouldn't look too dissimilar.

Yeah I'm sure there are a couple of blacks in Vietnam too but that's not what you asked: you asked who'd pass better and Sally Field would pass better in Bolivia and Mexico than Karyn. You can close the thread now.

Although both would be fairly uncommon bar some pockets in the latter, and it would be Laredo levels of OWD to argue otherwise.
