Classify young leaders from US and France. Can they pass in the other country?

**JAHL** · 01-04-2022, 07:05 PM

These are two groups of young leaders selected by the French-American Foundation in 2020. I did not post the obvious non-white persons for the purpose of this thread. Please classify and give your opinion if the individuals or the entire group from one country can pass in the other country.

Americans:

Anaïs Rameau

Brian Ferguson

Sara Aviel

Rickey Bevington

Christian Loubeau

Thomas Quirk

Andrew Spinelli

Maura Sullivan

French:

Sophie Adenot

Perrine Montel

Pierre Dubuc

Florian Delmas

Marina Chiche

Geoffrey Bouquot

Jean-Noël Barrot

Elodie Vandenhende

Many of the American ones look too British imo (like the second one but could still probably pass as French), and many of the French ones look Jewish or mixed race/Nafri like the first one and Florian Delmas (?). The French ones are Dinarid/Armenoid with Alpine/Borreby/Atlantid influences, but the Americans also look a bit Jewish or Eastern European (Maura Sullivan the latter, she could also pass here, gives me a slight Dolph Lundgren vibe also).

The last lady looks the most American, though with a Flemish name it is not that surprising, French have a lower cephalic index than Americans so look a little different but still pass.

There are virtually no modern Americans who are 100% Anglo, they are all a mix of British, Irish and German for the most part so they tend to look like a mix of those backgrounds instead of looking distinctively just British. Aside from the Delmas type, who is in the minority in terms of phenotype, I see both sides passing for each other fairly well.
