Gina could pass in India since her SSA contribution is low enough (20% approx) but Katharine's is more visible (around 40%).

Gina is predominatly Gracile Indid while Katharine's Indid component is more robust (probably North Indid).

Anyone else?

First one more familiar to my eyes. (Closer to white) Second is another Kamala Harris clone.

If anything Birbalsingh looks the less Caucasoid of the two, especially her hair.

She gives me a pseudo-Armenoid air, though.

How'd you classify the two women then?

The first would be Hindi quadroon to me (75% South Asian/25% SSA), while the second would be either balanced Hindi or early griffe (50-60% SSA).

Both would easily fit here, even if the first has an eye area and off nose.

How well would they pass as Domis?

With flying colors. Women with looks adjacent to theirs are dime a dozen here.

More generally, would you say that the Guyanese are among the Anglophone Caribbeans who pass better in DR, precisely because their large South Asian input 'softens out' the SSA?

Pretty much, yeah. As an aside, Gedmatch puts Siddi people among the ones I cluster with, so there is that.

Maybe your distant ancestors were from the Subcontinent after all. :thumb001:

Kamala looks more SSA than her due to her west African features.
