[Tooting Carmen]

They are from the town where I was born:

Any examples of children in these photos who could pass easily in Brazil?

All the brunettes of this pic pass

The blondish girl in the middle of the bottom line could pass too.

[armenianbodyhair]

As typical or atypical?

[Tooting Carmen]

As typical or atypical?

Either, but say which ones as typical and which ones as atypical. Where do you come from btw?

[Trun]

Almost none.

[Tooting Carmen]

Almost none.

Really?

[Trun]

Really?

Even the dark ones look different.

Could you show me any examples, and show me some dark Bulgarians to compare?

[Trun]

Dark Bulgarians - me, do I pass as British :D

Groups in this thread are too big and I can't point those who pass accurately, plus I might be misguided by the small size of the photos.

[StonyArabia]

in Alberta they would not stand out at all, especially in Cold Lake which most people are of British Isle descent, but in general they would not stick out in Alberta, unless it's some Ukrainian settlements.

[Neon Knight]

The natives are indistinguishable from north-west English children:

But does the boy at the bottom-right look like a Bulgarian?

[Sikeliot]

As Sicilian, I can count on one hand the number who pass. As Portuguese maybe a dozen or so pass but still not typical. As Polish, some can pass but very western looking compared to most.

And in the US? xD
Anyway, of your ancestral ethnic groups, could you show examples of who could pass in the photos?

[Highlands]

Far too Atlantid for the Balkans.

Light Albanian children still look Balkan, I think.

'Why do so many have brown eyes? I know its common in the UK, but in this pic its probably 50%

[Tooting Carmen]

'Why do so many have brown eyes? I know its common in the UK, but in this pic its probably 40%

French, Romans, Indians, Afro-Caribbeans...

[pelikarski]

French, Romans, Indians, Afro-Caribbeans...

I am counting the white kids only, not the boy on fir right and the second girl from left to right

[Porpolita]

'Why do so many have brown eyes? I know its common in the UK, but in this pic its probably 50%

Well for a start, some of them look like they are from ethnic groups which do not produce many light eyes ...

The guy on the far left of the lower tow can pass as portuguese too IMO

[Neon Knight]

[Porpolita]

Well, all of them (except the African and South Asian) can pass as Portuguese. But the 3rd boy at the top looks the most typical.

Irish children:

^ Exclude a Mongoloid and an odd person with black hair (probably from immigrants), both totally standing out, and everyone is either blond or light brown haired. IMHO, Irish people are lighter than English, who have a significant Med element. Irish people have simple origins: indigenous CMs mixed with Aryans.

[Odin]

All of them.
