Both offwhite, but I'd never be able to identify the sources of the admixture just by looking at them. Trujillo was part Haitian though.

How does Balaguer display admixed features?

How does Balaguer display admixed features?

Skin color, eyes, and hair to some degree. Anyway genetically I doubt he is fully European.

I basically concur with Sikeliot. They look like they have "something" in them; being Dominican, you'd expect the admixture to be SSA, but, in Balaguer's case in particular, I'd say some sort of Asiatic, so most likely Amerindian. I'd believe it if I were told that Trujillo were about 1/16 black or so.

They appear "exotic" coz they're Dominican, but they're actually white
