Eva Longoria can pass easily for southern european. I have a friend, Anna (part sardinian, part northern-italian) that looks like her, physical complexion and all (only more attractive, and I'm not joking! ) For sure at a second look Eva has something "exotic", but a lot of people has something exotic and you don't stop each time wondering "is he triracial?" So, she can pass. Turturro looks fully caucasoid, and fully italian, to me, and I'm italian! Ciao!!

Seizure, I referred to Eva Longoria's family as "upperclass" because of the fact that--as Mexican-Americans--they're the blond ones. Her sisters have fair hair and blue eyes. Like it or not, the reality of Mexico is: That's the upper class. The family moved from Mexico to the United States, and they're not "upper class" in the US (where those features don't count for diddly-squat). But a blue-eyed Mexican---? In Mexico, if you look like that, the Aztecs carry you around on a throne like the Ewoks and C-3PO. Anyway, to clear up any confusion, I called Langoria clearly non-caucasoid, Torturro caucasoid, and Bledel , whom I've met in person (more like stood next to), German + Spanish. As much as I want to scream at you for calling Spaniards swarthy, you're actually rather correct. Even in my own family in Mexico, the only blue-eyed people were French.

Btw reality check = stop calling middle easterners/indians "europid" , the middle east is not in europe

She has clear amerindian features. That's all there is to it.
Oh snap, someone can't understand linguistics. Go away now.

And this lebanese has similar non europid features THE point is. THe same non europid features that u say in mestizos, its the same way in middle easterners. That lebanese woman is distuinguished from a dark med southern euro woman. b ecaue shes foreign, non european.

If you put that Lebanese woman in the pic smack in the middle of East Los Angeles all of the essays would think she's a Mexican mamacita.

I think Eva looks "off Europid", but I think she could play the part of a mediterranean, maybe Italian and such.

Eva Longoria could probably play a Gypsy from Romania as well.

Judging by the polls results so far it seems the majority here on Dodona don't think Eva would stick out like a sore thumb among a crowd of Southern Euros.

She looks rather squat and small faced Gracile-Med possibly with gracile- Berid. The deviations she displays from the European type is probably due some degree of admixture with Amerind. so in theory she is not a Mestizo, though she probably had mestizo elements within her family

The signature reminds me of the movie Easy Rider with Jack and Dennis.

Yeah blue eyes are a minority within a minority in Mexico since even most of Mexico's White minority don't have blue eyes since most of Mexico's White are still descendent's of swarthy dark haired and dark eyed Spaniards.Though I am sure a Mexican of French descent might have blue eyes since blue eyes are more common among the French than they are among the Spaniards. When Mexicans see a person with blues they usually think the person is a Jew.

when i first saw her i assumed she was a wop, but thats partially based on the fact her name doesnt Scream "spic" if her name was Lupe Gonzalez i would have assumed puertorican Longoria is a Spanish last name it's common in NorthEast Mexico and Texas.

Does anybody here think Eva Longoria can pass for a North African or a Middle Easterner. I doubt it.
