Why do anthro forums push the idea that these 2 groups look alike
- Thread starter Basilisk
- Start date
Whenever a Mexican claims to be asian passing, the first thing people would say it's because they look filipino, when they look nothing Like a filipino they just look extremely amerindian
Case in point, this mexican girl thinks she looks filipino
When in reality she looks nothing like a real filipina, this is what most filipinas look like

For me Amerindians could pass better as NE Asian than a SE Asian.
That's like saying, since southern Indians don't look Greek, that means they obviously pass in Northern europe. When in fact they pass for neither

yes they look different
She was nicknamed little korean in Mexico, do you think she honestly blends in well with locals in Seoul??
I blame Hollywood pushing half white filipinos as representing filipinos in the media

No, she is amerindian
That's what I'm saying nowhere in East Asia do amerindians pass, North or South.
So why do people still push the idea that any brown person passes in South East Asia. Lol actually having been to Southeast Asia, the skin tones of locals even in rural areas weren't all brown. Many were of lighter complexion to fair skin even.
