Could these middle-class Filipino students pass in Latin America?

[GaneshD'Souza]

I noticed those who could easily pass as Latin American are those white mixed with Filipinos and half indigenous Maori I had a friend on Facebook who I though was Mexican but he was half white English and Maori Indigenous from New Zealand.

I think half Filipinos look extremely varied. I dont think all of them can pass as Latino. They have a lot of different looks. Some examples. These are all half white

^ They all pass as Mexicans In Mexico. In the north east of Mx.where I'm from there's all types of Mexicans some are brown skin with green eyes and etc.

So how all of a sudden will this Filipino nose pass in Mexico? Mexicans are quick to point out that a Filipino nose will make Filipinos quickly stand out in Mexico, but you're saying these two will pass in Mexico?
They have a flatter nose (especially the guy) than most of the Filipinos in the original post

Only that nose doesn't pass? Almost everyone in the original post has a flat nose. There are flatter, wider noses in the original post. Wonder why you specifically picked her

Yes

flat and a little wide nose you will find here:

BTW, how well would I pass in Thailand just based on my profile pic? (I have my doubts I'd pass in Thailand in real life because I look more mixed in person. But my pics do flatten my features and make me look less mixed.)

BTW, my mom (who is the pure Filipino between my parents) got mistaken as Thai by a Thai tourist in Korea. I think I was in the tour guide's van when that happened, because I wasn't there with her. Missed opportunity for an anthropological experiment TBH.

NONE of the flips you posted would pass as Hispanic/Mexican whether it be in the US or Mexico, stop trying to associate your fourth world relatives with us. Mexicans are much more diverse, better looking, afluent, taller, and much more Euro input spread throughout, w many being very light skinned/caucasoid looking in many different ways. So many Spaniards came here during the Colonial era and their descendents are all over, something that didnt happen in PH.

Most of the other Latinos on here don't agree with that. And besides, it has nothing to do with Spanish blood because probably none of these people have significant European ancestry. This is from a working-class/middle-class neighborhood. It's really just a coincidence that some of them look Latino

The lady at 1:00 has a phenotype you strictly see in the poor areas of the Philippines. You won't see this phenotype anywhere where people have money and you won't see it in Filipinos outside the Philippines (because this type of Filipino cant afford to migrate)


She probably has no, or very little Spanish blood, but she could pass as a tri-racial Latina just by coincidence. The poor areas of the Philippines is where you'll see more Latino-passing people, not the rich areas.
