for sure not a 50/50 mestizo.. but yea castizos can overlap with italians sometimes but especially me i can easily tell them apart

Eva Longoria (approx. 25% Amerindian) could pass for Italian. George Lopez certainly could not.

Biologically I doubt there are many "50/50" Mexicans at all as most so-called Native people have Spanish ancestry.

But a woman who looks like, say, Eva Longoria? Surely she isn't pure white, and I don't think it matters.

Damn you. You read my mind.

I should've said the stereotypical Mexican in the US Southwest could not pass for Italian. That covers what I mean.

these are some friends of mine that are castizo mexicans.. i think they can pass for being siclians

I change my mind, they all could except the girl on the left.

[oxinsnepe]

The two on the right, maybe. Neither of the two on the left look like a paisanu.

Umm it's kinda weird but, being a Latin American myself, I don't get along quite well with Latinos from other countries (such as Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Mexico, etc).

It's because I think they're different than us (Chileans) in the treat to other people. For example, they've talked to you for about 3 days and they already think they're your friends or something. It's just so annoying. And then they love to touch people, even if they don't know you they give you a hug... It kinda shocks me. Same with Americans and the other Southern Coners (Argentina, Uruguay) but at a lower level.

So I get along better with people from UK, Spain, Sweden, Finland, Poland, France, Norway, Denmark or Switzerland, maybe Italy and Portugal. Germans are TOO boring for me, they're the extreme opposite of Latin Americans.

I don't get along with Arabs, because of their religion which disgousts me; and I think I'd get along well with Black people, unless they're as close in their treat as Latin Americans.

Latin Americans are too touchy and lovey and as for Germans too boring, but which ones of the two would you perfer to hang about with though.

Only the guy second from the left and the girl on the right. The other two, no.

2/4.

i think the girl on the left can also pass.. she kinda looks like sarah silverman(and acts like her too lol)

[arrasleds]

She looks more Eurasian to me than European. The guys in that picture would pass for Italian better than the girls.

and mind you thier father looks very mestizo but thier mothers look pretty white

[Rounteetepe]

The girl on the left couldn't pass as European at all, but she could pass for Turkish. The other three look much more European.

[kentbrookug]

I think the two guys and the women on the right could just make by passing for Sicilians.

Sarah Silverman does not look Sicilian either, though. She is a textbook Ashkenazi Jew.

i mean considering there are siclians like ray romano or john and nick turturro.. i woudnt say its a stretch for them to pass

[Nurfzerne]

The others in the pic could but the girl on the left looks clearly part mongoloid.

[Dilangos]

Agreed.

i personally think she has mostly southern european features

[singleGirl]

i personally think she has mostly southern european features

Eyes, cheekbones, and face shape look mongoloid influenced. The only thing she could really pass for in the Europe area is Turkish.

[Tamawaipsemek]

Other Mexicans may disagree with me, but I've never felt much kinship with Central and South Americans despite the cultural ties. Our geographic location has isolated us culturally from them to some extent. Same goes for Caribbeans, although there is some degree of Caribbean influence along the eastern Mexican coast and Yucatan peninsula.

these are some friends of mine that are castizo mexicans.. i think they can pass for being siclians

I don't think they would pass anywhere in Southern Europe... they all have very specifically Amerind traits.

[hansen384cbh]

what about these two cuban guys.. do you think they can look sicilian?

[catermos]
