Who look more different: African Americans, Puerto Ricans, or Cape Verdeans?

We all know how African Americans and Puerto Ricans look.

But do Cape Verdeans look more African American or Puerto Rican?

Ricans hands down

Ricans hands down

Cape Verdeans to me look closer to Puerto Ricans, but they are on average more African than them (I think Cape Verde is as close as it gets to a society almost exactly 50% African, 50% European). But you do find Puerto Ricans with more African heritage who look closer to Cape Verdean than most African Americans do, and the whiter Cape Verdeans look similar to many Puerto Ricans.

Yet, most people wouldn't notice the differences so I thought I would ask.

Closer to PRs for sure.

Closer to PRs but lacking Amerindian admixture, so they don't pass as a group (not even as Dominicans)
