My guess is 85% African and 15% European. They are pretty.

How easily would they pass as Afro-Brazilians?

In Rio de Janeiro and northeast they would pass well but they would not pass so easy in other regions because the SSA in Brazil is mostly bantuid and black brazilians have a strong Euro and amerindian in average

3/4 Sudanid and 1/4 Anglo-Saxon or about that.

By South, do you include SP and RJ or not?

Do you agree with Jolsonaro that, in Brazil, they'd only pass easily in Rio and the Northeast?

That's very arbitrary. No one can be a judge of where they could pass or not in Brazil. Any city or town in Brazil where there is no clear racial majority (most cases) and has a sizable pred. African minority, they could pass. So I'd say these women pass in Rio, Northeast, São Paulo, Minas Gerais and many other states, regions or cities.

On the other hand, wouldn't someone like the late Notorious BIG be too 'extreme' for much of Brazil apart from the Northeast?

There is a lot of people who look like Notorious BIG in other places in Brazil. I've seem Brazilian-born Blacks like him in São Paulo where I used to live. In Rio, they're even more prevalent. But of course, they're not a majority anywhere in Brazil, perhaps except for a couple of Quilombolas.

They pass all over Brazil.

Ordinary citizens wouldn't detect their Afram vibe/vibrations.

Her name is Sadako. Although wiki makes no reference to foreign ancestry, it sounds vaguely Japanese or something. Anyway, how well would they pass in DR?

The middle one could pass without problem, but the other two would get asked what they are for sure.
