Classify two prominent Asian-American actresses

[Tooting Carmen]

I mentioned them in another thread, so I thought I'd make a classification thread about them.

Lucy Liu, Chinese-American

I like this song, especially her version of it:

Tia Carrere is not a pure Filipina, she also has Chinese and Hawaiian ancestry.

I think most of her ancestry is Filipino though. Anyway, how'd you classify her?

Honestly, no idea. I'm even bad at classifying Europeans, I don't know what to say about her. Looks Asian and tanned.

You can tell that Insular Southeast Asians have a more tropical-adapted phenotype than (North-)East Asians. I would guess that mainland Southeast Asians (Thai, Vietnamese etc) would be somewhat halfway between the average Non-Negrito Filipino and Han Chinese look?

[Sikeliot]

Lucy Liu looks more Mongolian-like, the second woman looks more SE Asian, similar to Indonesians and Thai people.

Lucy: Mittle-Sinid + Tungid.
Tia: Paleo-Mongoloid + Sud-Sinid.

[Jia Mei]

Lucy: Mittle-Sinid + Tungid.
Fully agree about her. Unsurprising, considering her father is from Shanghai and mother from Beijing.
