    Yes, that's true but that's why I mentioned the swarthier ones. I don't think the average Saudi, Yemeni, or Egyptian is likely to be mistaken as something else.

    I guess, the generic Latino would be Atlanto Mediterranid with minor Indianid. Right?

    Specific phenotype doesn't matter. West Asians just don't have any features that make them stand out as blatantly foreign, unlike us with our giant bulging eyes and normally dark skin.

    I dont know, I was never there. Some say that some certain groups are perceived as foreign. I think officially at least everyone is american who is a natural born citizen, inofficially some certain groups might be perceived as foreign.

    basically everyone who isnt white, or near white, or at least strongly white influenced. but reading what tipirneni said, it might be that they are not perceived as "white" but still as "american". white and american are not the same, eventhough some equate it. maybe you dont need to pass as white or near white to be american?

    middle easterners might pass as white in america but they are culturally different because most of them are muslims and they speak arabic, turkish etc. unless they are christians and speak only english. i think middle easterners certainly arent viewed exclusively as americans always only by everyone, and never as foreign, and not only because of their appearance.
