[Smaug]

Maybe Sharma.

[Tooting Carmen]

Anyone else?

[Aodhan]

Babita Sharma 70%

[SupaThug]

I think that the first one would pass as atypical,second one passes,and third one is the most brazilian looking one!

What do you mean 70%?

South Asian looks are the most foreigner possible for Brazilians.

I know what you mean, but as curupira/Ubirajara himself has discussed in ABF and maybe in this forum as well, some Mestizo and Triracial Brazilians can look pseudo-South Asian.

Yet I've seen some people that are so mixed that they came out having similar looks to south asians!I once tought a guy was indian when I looked at him for the first time,but he was just an average pardo.

True, some mixed people here end up looking Indian, like Samantha Schmutz and Juliana Paes.

Schmutz looks textbook mulatta imo. But I can definitely agree about Juliana Paes.:thumb001:

They even casted Paes as an Indian girl in a soap opera we had here:

The two women would probably pass (but only at first sight) as triracial Venezuelans; but still, after checking them with a closer look, there is something too foreign (south Asian) in them. The guy... I don't think so.

[Han Cholo]

The girls can pass.

[Aodhan]

if I saw her on the street, I would know that she is Brazilian, but a little 'different' she has a hint of something that few Brazilians have

[Gauthier]

Mishal could pass as a local in Mexico.

[TIGERZZZ]

Sure they can pass for Mestizos as they seem partially mongoloid.
