yeah they can

[GrebluBro]

right most woman => Hell NO

Other two easily

right most woman => Hell NO

Why not?

[aimar]

I think the middle one looks the most mexican of them, and the 3rd one the least

[GrebluBro]

Why not?

Eye area
also nose shape, forehead also gives SA vibe..

Mouth area when she smiles => typical south-Asian trait

[Sikeliot]

The one on the left the least, but yes.

In my experience, a lot of lighter Indians and Pakistanis do have a kind of pseudo-Mestizo look - but they look more like those from Mexico than those from South America.

I agree many do, still <<25%.

South-Asians like me don't have problem in distinguishing them..

Only Mexicans come to Indians and talk in Spanish..I don't know why.

Indians thinking of Mexicans as Indian looking is also there but quite low.

Yes, average and darker South Asians seldom if ever pass as anything else. But lighter ones, depending on how light they are and what their features are, can often pass as all sorts of things. In addition, although Mestizos from Latin America often have more Mongoloid features than the women in the OP, it isn't always the case, hence why overlaps can occur.

what do you mean by lighter ones? like those in the picture? i dont think skin color should matter cause ive seen darker south asians that can also pass for a mexican, it depends on the features more than skin color

Yes, by skin colour, such as the ones in the picture. More average-looking South Asians, like these Gujaratis, cannot pass as anything else whatsoever.

They can pass

may be someone should start a thread, what percent of Punjabi/Pakistani (don't use quite dark veddoid influenced India as such) can pass in Mexico.

[Han Cholo]

First 2 can. 3 looks odd.

[Silver_Shadow]

I voted yes. They look very similar to the females found in one of my friends family.

LOL these are the only 2 that really look somewhat mexican in this photo (and the tallest one). The rest look too Indid/veddoid.

I agree, but the thread is meant to be about the three women in the OP photo.

[Mn The Loki TA Son]

Hi.

Happy New year to everybody gals and lads!.


Sure, those gals in the picture could pass as mexicans, they fit within the phenotypical variation of mexicans but not just by coincidence, many mexicans have levantine influence so in some way they overlap to the women posted above.
