    Question % of admixture needed to alter the phenotype of a person

    Two clear examples of what im refering to:

    Keeanu Reeves.

    His mother is fully english
    His father is of English, Irish, Portuguese, Hawaiian, and Chinese descent.

    Johnny Depp

    The Depp family in the United States began with a French Huguenot immigrant, Pierre Deppe or Dieppe, who settled in Virginia around 1700, part of a refugee colony situated above the falls on the James River. The actor has also surmised that he is part Native American, saying in 2011, "I guess I have some Native American [in me] somewhere down the line. My great-grandmother was quite a bit of Native American, she grew up Cherokee or maybe Creek Indian. Makes sense in terms of coming from Kentucky, which is rife with Cherokee and Creek."

    Their mongoloid admixture is clearly shown in their phenotype (for me at least). What % of non-european admixture do you think it's needed to make someone look off-white?

    Poll added.

    well is different how affect mongoloid features according to mongoloid subtypes, however the congoid blood is very strong and even a small % you can see it, there are people with a 50 of mongoloid blood that almost you can't perceivite it

    I think it varies from person to person, it's hard to come up with a set percentage.

    Guess that's what makes them look hot, minor mongoloid admixture.

    It depends on the race and indvidual.
    10% and above I'd say.

    Anyway on topic, there are some Turks who score 6-10% mongoloid admixture but it doesn't show in their phenotype. I think more than 10% would really show.

    I would say
    Amerindian : at 6-7% it can already be perceived by the trained eye
    Negro : at 5-6%
    Asian-mongoloid : at 10-12% you can start appreciating

    15-20%. But people with minor Amerindian and East Asian influences can still often pass as European whereas someone with that much African ancestry cannot.
