Do white Puerto Ricans look more Iberian, or do they fit better in other Mediterranean regions?

[Sikeliot]

From my experience, having seen pictures of fully white Puerto Ricans, they can really go either way. I'd say a good number do look Spanish or Portuguese, but I have seen, and heard from other users that a significant number would fit better in the Canary Islands, coastal North Africa, and as East Med due to a combination of Spanish, Sephardi, or Canarian ancestry.

I have met one Puerto Rican girl in person who looked very Portuguese, but she is the only fully white-looking one I have met.

What would you guys say?

Well idk about fully white, but my sister and father who have been said can pass in Europe could only pass in East Med, Canary Islands, Sicily etc. Camilo could pass in a lot of places. Ddbrainer could too.

this thread will be interesting

I think for us the caucasoid PRs can range from Iberian, Western Euro, pan Med, and Canarian. Most PRs in general look Canarian IMO.

[Camilo]

Oh and Sephardi looking as well.

Camilo looks Western European to me, could even be British. dbbrainer more Sephardi, Greek, Italian etc. To me neither your father nor sister look European but could both be North African.

But I am looking for a general trend. Since you guys have said most Puerto Ricans are phenotypically white, do they look actually Iberian or is there enough other ancestry in there to make that not be the case?

So essentially that's Iberian with some sort of a North African influence? It can be hard to tell northern Moroccans from Canarians.

I think most white Puerto Ricans are more Canarian looking than anything else.

[Camilo]

Yeah I think that's definitely the most common look that can be found on the island. That mix of Iberian and Berber/North African=Canarian.

Well Puerto Rico's Euro components are from Iberia and the Canaries so I guess a mix of those would look like they have a bit of MENA. A lot of Puerto Ricans have pretty significant MENA.
