Do "white" Puerto Ricans look genuinely European, or do they pass better as North African?

[Sikeliot]

As someone who is sick to death of the Puerto Ricans on ABF trying to say they think they look similar to Sicilians, I have to pose this honest question.

Do most Puerto Ricans who are not visibly admixed, look more European, or do they fit better in North Africa? To me, given that many of them still have residual influences from non-European groups as well as their main ancestry being Canarian Spaniard, who have A LOT of North African influence, they fit better in North Africa than anywhere in Europe.

Other.

Quite a few PR's I've known actually look more Levantine than NA.

I haven't seen any Levantine looking PRs.. if they did, I might agree that they looked more like us. Although I know a few PRs who look Sephardi.

I remember an ex Miss Puerto Rico, Mariana Vicente, who passes perfectly as European, but she's probably fully Spanish... In general, I wouldn't think so, any photos?

Sicilian looking Puerto Rican? Just to irritate sikeliot. ;p

[Sikeliot]

^ Not really. I'd think North Africa more than I'd think Europe, and I am going by something in the upper part of the face.

more levantine

More North African. They could pass as Berbers.

In my opinion, they don't look Levantine. Most photos of the Puerto Ricans Sikeliot posted can most likely pass as Southern Europeans. There are some exotic and darker ones that can pass as Berber, but those are a minority.
