Half Korean does she looks white?

[Laredo]

Classify her please, another confirmed theory Northern European genes are very strong.

She looks latina (mestiza)

[SilverKnight]

She looks castiza. Could pass in Costa Rica, and other castizo/ mestizo nations in LATAM.

[HectorOfTroy]

She looks like what she is, mestiza.

Hapa and mestiza are not the same things. Koreans are much lighter-skinned than Mexicans or Peruvians. She doesn't have any Negro admixture either unlike typical Latin Americans.

?
Most latinos are only 5% SSA excluding Puerto Ricans and Dominicans. Her pigmentation is lighter but her features still stand out as non Caucasoid as the typical mestizo, maybe even slightly less. Apart from pigmentation she looks like what she is, 50/50 mix.

EDIT: I meant to say she could pass as mestiza imo, not that she's literally a mestiza in the LATAM sense.

[PaganPoet]

You people forget or are unaware that Amerindian people may have melanesian and australoid admixture.

[MobyD]

Latina look

[Feiichy]

I doubt the pic is real because somebody needs to explain to me how half Korean (who don't posess any light eyes traits) can have blue eyes.

She looks Eurasian otherwise.

No such thing as "strong genes".

I guess that's possible if her Euro parent had all snps for blue/light eyes. It's reddit you never know, lots of trolls and owd who want to "prove" something there.

Ive seen many exact 50/50 European and Asian that tend to look racially ambiguous or like they would've scored 65/35 So I don't think it's fake.

Korean and Japanese are easy to dilute more than Amerindian I would say.

She doesn't look fake, only eye color does. I believed both parents needed to have light eyes genes (either dominant or recessive) to produce light eyed kid but reading PP above maybe I got it wrong.

[Laredo]

But Amerindian has ANE and 1/4 Caucasian origin. Why It's harder to dilute compare to North East Asian?

I see, what you think of my reply to @PaganPoet, got a explanation for that as well?

Good question. But they do not look fake to me.

Amerindians have likely selected more tropicalized appearances moving out of Eurasia for thousands of years. Besides, she might look white skinwise but the Mongoloid vibe is still very strong imo. She just doesn't look brown but not really European either. Like a race we haven't seen yet (central asians look different), maybe some Siberians can approach that look.

Having read the comments now on the reddit page, she mentions having green eyes, so that's even more possible. Paper ancestry is German, French, Scottish for the euro side. Seems legit for the breakdown she gets.

It is mostly blue but contains visible patches of dark brown (she claims her father has fully blue eyes and his Korean mother dark brown). It is not the most common end result of such mixture, but not very unusual.

Amerindian is not harder to "dilute" in any biologically meaningful way. It may give such impression because Amerindian-White crosses tend to be light brown skinned, and skin color is the principal criterium of racial categorization in the West.

[Feiichy]

She is very cute. Lovely smile.

It is called the contact lenses effect. She could be wearing colored contact lenses.

Not really, mestizo Filipinos look very Pinoy.

Well my fiancee isn't of mexican or peruvian amerindian descent but of south american cone descent. She honestly look about the same pigmentation as this girl, or even lighter and she has: 50% native american, 45% european (iberian + italian), 1% jewish, 3% ssa. So when it comes to mixes it's not quite that simple. Also in pure amerindian societies there are lighter skinned people and darker skinned all while being the same genealogically, similar to many other ethnicities.

What part of Argentina she's from? Is her euro only Iberian? From what I know of the history of Argentina 50% of the country population has recent Italian European decent and the other half fully colonial.

Buenos Aires with recent ancestry from the interior. 23andMe says she has predominantly iberian euro probably from Galicia mixed with basque, with small italian, greek, tiny scandinavian (.2% lol), and jewish. Ancestry says she has significant basque, spanish + north italy + english and welsh on her euro side. With some levantine + jewish.

Southern cone Amerindians have a lot ANE because they were the first wave of natives the left Siberia and moved south, mean while Meso America ( Mexico and Central America have less)

But I believe Northern American natives have less or the same as the Meso American.

It's clear the 50/50 split in my eyes, maybe even a little more asian, maybe you're accustomed to seeing mongoloid-admixed "whites" and that's why you think she looks more euro.

I'm not sure if that's a testament to strength of Northern Euro genes, but I have speculated this.

She seems to have light skin, but clearly foreign facial form I know children of Burmese parents who look way more white than her cause they have more Euro-like face structure.
