Does she look a little mongoloid?

her father, Rogelio Durán (10 November 1953 – 4 November 2006), was a Spanish flamenco singer of Roma origin from Badajoz.

just goes to show how much your cheek shape and depth can influence your appearance.

Yeah, that fact is well known here in TA for a long time, that would explain her "dark" features and short stature but in this case her "alleged" mongoloid traits should have more explanation on their Swedish side. Don't you think?

She looks like a more CM than average North African, i initially thought that was her background. Mongoloid, i don't see it.

It's an interesting case, she looks like a 'White' Latin American or like many "Italian Americans" (they tend to be mixed with non-'white ethnic' Americans with visible Mongoloid features from Amerindian admixture) I see. So Lappid/East Baltic/Ladogan or whatever type her mother was combined with Med can basically simulate a Latina with a predominance of European features.

No, not really.

I think it could be equally likely, but it bears mentioning all the same.

I think it could be equally likely, but it bears mentioning all the same.

Anyone anywhere can have some traits or others regardless of what is suposed to be usual to an specific ancestry, that is largely a lottery, but I think it is much more likely that a hypothetical Mongoloid trait in a person with this girl's ancestry, comes from her Swedish side than from his Spanish side.

But it is true that high cheekbones can be a trait shared by " Mongoloids " (Swedish side) and South Asians (gypsy side).:thumb001:
