Which of these two Kiwis passes better in Venezuela: Dan Carter or Julian Savea?

[Tooting Carmen]

Dan Carter


Julian Savea

bump

One looks white and the other Polynesian or SE Asian (but might pass as some kind of Amerindian). Equidistant IMO.

Imo Savea looks pseudo-triracial, as quite a lot of Polynesians and Maoris do in fact.

[alnortedelsur]

I would say both in equal measure.

Dan Carter as an harnizo or castizo Venezuelan (he doesn't look full white), but his British (instead of southern European) features would make him look a bit off.


and Imo Savea, as a Venezuelan triracial (though in his third pic he looks more Maori, and a bit off for triracial Venezuelan standards)

both

but iv seen more of the first one in person than the other, but i have seen both types

Dan Carter has very distant Maori ancestry, so the fact he is British with a touch of Maori produces largely the same effect that a Venezuelan who is Spanish with a touch of Amerindian would have. And how about these other Kiwi rugby players of Maori and Pacific Islander descent - do they pass?

Jonah Lomu RIP


Jerry Collins RIP


Ardie Savea (Julian's brother)


Victor Vito


Jerome Kaino


Sonny Bill Williams

All of them could pass as Venezuelans, IMO

Victor Vito imo would be the most borderline, whereas the others would be more in keeping with triracial types in Venezuela (and Colombia).

I would say Jonah Lomu and Jerry Collins are more borderline, but they still would pass.
