View Full Version : Do these light-pigmented Latin Americans look fully European?

Usually I hate asking such OWD-esque questions like this, but I am curious. I do believe that very few Latin Americans (except in Argentina, Uruguay, Southern Brazil and maybe a few other pockets) look fully European - even when light-pigmented, they often have ambiguous/non-European facial traits. So, some time ago I made threads about light-haired Mexican politicians and light-haired Colombian politicians. I'd like to know: do they look fully European - in features as well as pigmentation - to you?

I'd say around half look Castizo and the other half Criollo (full Euro).

To ask that question based on a group wouldn't get you the best of the answers, and even less talking about latin americans.

While some can go as fully europeans, you just need one of them who looks ambigous to get people baised about all of them.

Some of them look fully European, but many others just look castizos or even as light skinned balanced mestizos.

Most Mexican examples do, most Colombians don't.

Could you give examples of each?

The question is, what kind of European they look.
As the matter of fact, there are many Europeans that don't look quite European.

Well, can they fit in any European country, be it Malta or Sweden? Also, do they display any admixture in their features?
