Post examples of non-Colombians who look Colombian

[Ch'aska]

Colombia is a pretty multiracial country, but I think the most common range is Harnizo-to-Balanced Mestizo, isn't it?

Mestizos/harnizos are pretty common in Andean region, but average Colombian would be some kind of leaning tri racial mestizoid. Colombia overlaps very weel with Venezuela and Costa Rica.

Is there any Brazilian who couldn't pass individually in Colombia?

Non-Iberian White Brazilians and most Mulatto/Quadroon Brazilians.

most Mulatto/Quadroon Brazilians.

Why not?

[Etelfrido]

Yeah, but weren't most of the Italians who went to Brazil from the North, and much of the time more Central than Southern European in appearance?

Yes, that's specially the case for the ones who came to the South but even then there's a good overlap with Iberians I think.

Very true. Typical White Colombians:

Thanks for the examples.

"To look Colombian" it's something ambigous.

I think Escobar was near to average paisa, but not to the average Colombian.

Really? Escobar passes completely in Europe, the average Paisa in my experience is a bit more Mestizo looking even though a good chunk of them are white.

Colombians are beautiful, specially the women.

That's why I said "near to average", most Paisas are harnizos, Escobar is an example a White Paisa (~30% of Paisa population).

Why not?

Colombia has few true mulattoes, most people with a high SSA input are triracials, zambos, griffes or pure blacks.

Nearly all Venezuelans could pass as Colombians of some kind or another.
