    Default Which of these mixed Filipinos passes most easily as white? Least?

    I guess you could rank them from most to least white-passing
    1. Filipino of Spanish-descent. Both parents are Filipinos, but obviously a lot of Spanish ancestry


    2. Half Filipino, half white (General American white)


    3.Half Filipino, half white (Northern European mix)

    bump. In another thread, many people said #3 was white-passing, which I don't really agree with. So I'm wondering if #1 and 2 are more or less white-passing than 3

    2 and 1 look equally white, 3 looks like a mestizo from LatAm

    Number 2 has a Filipino nose. That wouldn't give him away as non-white?

    Didn't notice at first. I change my stance: 1 > 2 > 3 (from most to least white)

    I agree with this. Although in the US, a lot of people wouldn't see the 1 as white. They would more likely see 2 as white because people don't pass close attention to noses here. Nobody would know that's a Filipino nose.
