See, this is how American Mestizos look like, they are mostly tan-skinned, dark-haired, & brown-eyed just like Mexican Mestizos, I really see no difference between American & Mexican Mestizos.
But, sure people would see a difference because they think that American Mestizos need to be light-haired, pale-skinned, & light-eyed, just because they have Anglo ancestry, & because having Anglo & North American Amerindian ancesstry, the Mestizos in this country needs to look whiter, but Mexican Mestizos need to be darker because they have Iberian ancestry, well guess what Anglos & Iberians aren't really that different either, most Europeans don't really look that different from each other.
But when people see a SSA + Anglo mix, they look more black to them, same with a East Asian + Anglo mix, they look more Asian to them, but when it comes to a Anglo + Amerindian mix, they see them more as white.
but the reality is that most of these so-called "Native/White mixes", aren't even that native at all, when they get DNA tested, they come out with little to no Amerindian.
Take Benjamin Bratt & Q. Orianka Kilcher (yes I know their Amerindian is Peruvian, but still) they are half-Anglo American, & they both look brown as hell, but people will never believe they are mixed with European, which is kinda sad, because they are forced to hide half of their ancestry.
Also keep in mind, that North American Amerindian types like Silvid are going to have pseudo-Caucasoid features, which is why many Mestizos can mistaken for full U.S. Amerindians.
I'm mostly Spanish & Purepecha, thus making me a Mexican Mestizo, people here think I'm either Middle Eastern, Mexican, or U.S. Native American, even If I'm more European than Amerindian genetically, people don't really believe I'm mixed European either, it's kinda sad, but I don't like to hide any of my ethnic ancestry, because I feel it's disrespectful to my family, but just to be easy with people, I just say I'm Mexican or Mexican-American, or Latino.

They look exactly the same to our mestizos, very interesting.

I think it's interesting to see American Mestizos. When I think about Amerindian features in the American population, I only picture Native Americans (minority of a minority) and mestizos of Mexican/Latin American ancestry, not American Mestizos: a mix of NW Euro with Amerindians from the USA.

I wonder if the European admix is more Scandinavian, Baltic or Uralic and the Amerindian ancestry is Athabaskan or Patagonid, would they look "whiter" or look more like Central Asian? Zhaoyun, a former TA user (he is not active anymore) think that Patagonians/Fuegids look like Tungid version of Amerindians.
