Latin American or Filipino.

Thanks. I think he can only pass as a Fipino with White admix.

Mexico or Central America

se asian for sure or native shifted latino. I know what he is but im just saying he'd be guessed as such in the west

Look Asian = chino?

[Cerberus1234]

In Brazil he would be an "índio" (amerindian native from Brazil).

Fair point. Do people know how se asians look like in the west? Because to me from a SE Asian country, his look (facially) would be atypical here.

[Maguzanci]

I see. Not even pardo? But I thought he look more Caucasoid than pure Indios?

he'd be guessed as filipino. most people just by default place slightly atypical looking asians as filipinos.

[IrisSelene]

he looks rlly similar to a Ecuatorian classmate I had

[Duffmannn]

He would be consideared south asian mostly. He doesn't reaembles amerindian.

[dperucca]

Looks very indian..peru or ecuador would be a good fit.

[jmls]

Mixed race person.

[Catarinense1998]

Mestizo. In Brazil he would be a pardo.

[Maguzanci]

Mestizo. In Brazil he would be a pardo.

Looks more pardo in Brazil than Caboclo?

[Maguzanci]

Mixed race person.

Thanks. What does he look mixed with? Caucasian blood?

[Maguzanci]

Really? Can you post his pics?

[GreentheViper]

Native

[Maguzanci]

Native Canadian indigenous? Is that what he would be perceived/seen as in Canada?

Both in Canada and Mexico. Half of my family is from Mexico and I've seen my fair share of natives lol. He doesn't look exactly like the Natives in Canada tho.

[IrisSelene]

im trying to find him but i dont even remember his name so its hard lol

[Maguzanci]

Does OP look more like Native Mexicans? Does OP look more Caucasoid/Euro admixed?

[Maguzanci]

he'd be guessed as filipino. most people just by default place slightly atypical looking asians as filipinos.

I see your point. I find it very peculiar and funny that people like to assume atypical racially ambiguous looking Asians as Flips. When in fact, most Pinos have very litle Caucasoid/Iberian Euro blood even compared to other SE Asians. Even Burmese, Malays, Thai, Cambodians have more West Eurasian admix than the average Flipina. IMO, OP looks more Caucasoid admixed to me than most Pinos.

Just my thoughts on this.

[Rgvgjhvv]

"Latino"

[Maguzanci]

"Latino"

Why is there parentheses?

[Rgvgjhvv]

Why is there parentheses?

It's a very broad term.

[GreentheViper]

Honestly, I’m not an authority on the topic but he looks more Native Mexican to me, with some Causasoid influence, but minor.

[happycow]

Mexican. Passes on the south side and west side.

[jmls]

Thanks. What does he look mixed with? Caucasian blood?

He looks like Paleomongoloid + Caucasoid. But he could also be Mestizo.

[Cerberus1234]

I see. Not even pardo? But I thought he look more Caucasoid than pure Indios?

He doesn't look caucasoid influenced to me (I'm not an expert).

And I think that most people who identify as Pardo in Brazil are usually light mestizos/tri-racials/octoroons/quadroons.

[Engliñol]

In the US I'd guess Filipino or Central American/Mexican mestizo, in Brazil he would likely be labelled as Bolivian, Equatorian, Venezuelan or Brazilian from some regions of the North.

Thanks. What features in particular would make you guess Filipino and not also other SE Asian? Altho actually his look would be atypical for a Pino.

[Maguzanci]

It's a very broad term.

Interesting. What type of Latino he look like the most?

His origins are actually very far from Latin America

[Maguzanci]

Thanks.

His origins is actually very far from Latin America. In fact he is an ethnic Khasi from Northeast India.

[Maguzanci]

im trying to find him but i dont even remember his name so its hard lol

If you can finally recall his name later can you post his pics?

Btw OP's background is very far from Latin America. If you want to keep guessing the country

Just my thoughts on this.

filipinos look more ambiguous as a whole compares to any southeast asian group for whatever reason ,despite genetically being east eurasian mostly. but they have pacific islander type mix so that could be a reason for their ambiguity. and they have direct spanish mix as well.

you might find this shocking bu 13% of filips have R1b lol. they have strong spanish paternal lineage, though its very diluted now given. however their mix is still seen to an extent. thats a lot actually, 13% have west eurasian halopgroup

[Zroota]

He doesn't look 'half southeast Asian'. They have a distinct look.

He looks like a native shifted Latino or Mestizo to me. Can as well pass in Central Asia to some degree.

[Carlito's Way]

He doesn't look like a native Mexican, would have never guess him to be one if I saw him
He actually looks more South American native

[Maguzanci]

Agreed on all of this.

What type of South American Native? Andid, Brazilid, Lagid?

Does he also look Euro/Caucasoid admixed to you?

[Carlito's Way]

I would think he is full native with no Caucasoid admixture
and I am not sure about the Native part, but he gives me a big South American native vibe

[Vojnik]

Nepali. North east Indian.

[Maguzanci]

Nepali. North east Indian.

Yes you are right. He is ethnic Khasi Northeast Indian from Meghalaya. Are you familiar with Nepalis and Northeast Indian looks?

I worked at a Nepali cultural event once. And saw them everywhere. I ate some of their dumplings. Fucken amazing.

Oh it's just a broad "guess" based on his appearance and which major ethnic group in the US is most likely to boast similar features, more ambiguous harder to place SE Asians are often generalised as Filipinos, other SE Asians have another type of "stock look" that Americans would assign them with. It's often very inaccurate lol. I'm actually British and I'm just visiting the US btw.

As for Brazil, the population(s) that would fit his phenotype better would some Northern regions of Brazil, and the Northern/Western most neighbouring countries. The indigenous admixture in many of those areas is stronger than the African component found in most other parts of the country.

In Brazil probably Bolivian or Venezuelan.

Sorry for the very late reply. Hope you would still respond back. Yeah, it is a weird phenomenon because they are actually one of the most genetically mongoloid SE Asians. From looking at gedmatch results, the average Pinoy/Filo have lesser Caucasoid admixture than most Malays, Burmese and Thais (not the ethnic Chinese or heavily Chinese admixed ones). The only SE Asians who beat Filipinos in having even lower Caucasoid are the Laotians, Vietnamese and some isolated tribes in Malaysia, Indonesia like Dayaks, both who virtually have zero West Eurasian admixture. Most Pinoy results have very negligible Caucasoid admix like around 1-3% only.
This is one of the reason I found Philipino results to be so uninteresting and not that worth seeing; they just have too low West Eurasian ancestry for me to be interested in them. I found Burmese, Thai, Malay, Indonesian results to be much more interesting.

Yeah Pacific Islander (Micronesian, Poly and Melanesian/Papuan) type admix could be one of the main cause for racially ambiguous features on some Flips. Their direct Spanish admix is very diluted and minor in their DNA tho. At least from the gedmatch results of most Flips that I have seen.

Interesting stuff about the R1b. But autosomally, they have very little Spanish/Iberian dna from the results that I saw. And having very minor Caucasoid even compared to other SE Asians, should not make them look racially ambiguous, so yeah Pacific Islander admix might be the main reason for the weird looks among some Pinoys.
