    Bollocks. Chile is easily one of the five whitest countries in Latin America.

    I believe the hardest non-white place to fit as white in Latam is Paraguay.

    Weird, because your phenotype is common among whites here and we don't think of these looks as foreign.

    Many Brazilians that look Iberian aren't aware that their phenotypes originates from Europe. There are two reasons for that:

    1: Brazilians are Nordicist regarding European aesthetics, here, if you look Nordid, being or not a local, people will joke and call you "Gringo", "Alemão" (German), "Europeu" (European) or "Russo" (Russian). Meanwhile a typical Southern Euro looking Brazilian will be simply seen as local white.
    LMAO.

    2: Many Southern Euro looking Brazilians are of pure colonial stock, and since average people don't care about history and the anthrostuffs we discuss here, they aren't aware that their looks originates from colonial Portuguese people, they see themselves simply as fully Brazilians.
    Brazilians aren't an ethnic group in the Asian or European sense. Where do they think their not-too-distant ancestors came from then?

    I don't look portuguese at all in my opinion.
    Indeed I don't pass anywhere in Europe.
    To be typical in RJ is necessary to look iberian IMO.
    I just look ambiguous criollo from the southern cone...
    I am clearly new worlder from the south.

    You look as ethnic spaniard for that reason, you can pass in Spain

    I have seen really criollos of new world looks (Especially here in Los Altos) and you don't look as them; the first time I see you I thought you were spaniard in fact

    Oh buddy!! So probably I am really confused and Latinus is right....
    So I could pass in Brazil as typical of iberian stock?
    Indeed some people say that I look steteotypically basque...
    Why I don't perceive that???

    It's not weird because my sotaque in portuguese sucks and they used the word as "foreigner" or as "tourist", probably.

    Brazilians know that we were colonized by Portugal. Brazilians know we're a melting pot of diference races. The thing is: most people here while knowing these facts can't conect the points. I don't understand your question, average Brazilians only know they have ancestry from Europe or other continent if it's recent.

    You always insist in not passing as European, that's weird. Of course you pass in places like Iberia and Italy.
