Latinos & Arabs are a prime example if you mix two races, together. Isn't the US eventually going to become the same too?

apparently all light brown people with dark straight/wavy hair look alike. i get called "mexican" and arab more than anything else and I'm actually neither of those things. Literally depends on what side of town I'm on too lol. And "Arab" and "Latino" are such broad terms... I bet everyone answering has a different sense of what they even mean. Kind of a pointless question unless you can narrow it down

what a great response.

Well, you said there was no cultural influence, yet the Spanish language was heavily influenced by Arabs, the cooking, city names, architecture, etc...

Did you know Guadalajara is an Arab word?

I´m Mexican and also Spaniard and right now live in Mexico, a lot of Mexicans look like Arabs, a lot of Mexicans look Indian, a lot of Mexicans look white

That's true, some of them look a little asian too. Not sure why, never liked it IMO, but yeah, I agree with your comment.

That was easy because of the fashion of the clothes, but without clothes it would be much more difficult, I say we do this with naked men

I think that the most of the western world countries will eventually be all mixed due to the rapid growth of globalization and migration. We're in a period of transition at this point in time, very much so in the country that I'm from (Australia).

a few

latinos don't have one look

i see a lot of blackish arab guys who pass as puerto rican or dominican

and then there are some people here in latin america who have the arab/turkish/dark italian/southern european/mediterranean look

Well, aren't a lot of southern Europeans and northern Africans sort of intermixed? And southern Europeans did colonize most of Central and South America. Technically, in that aspect one could argue that they have a lot of west Asian and east Asian ancestry, with east Asian coming from native Americans.


Also, Spain has a pretty nasty history with northern Africans. They even ruled parts of Spain for a spell. This is one thing that probably factored into racism in Spain, which in turn birthed present day racism in Latin America. And why the Spanish were so adamant about forcing Catholicism on everyone (hence it being the main religion in Latin America).

I'm just guessing.

exactly

but you forgot the black people

i know egyptian people who get mistaken as puerto rican or dominican because they have the same type of mixing (a little black)

Not really. Its kinda obvious in the facial features.

My answer too. Are we right?

Didn't know distinguishing Arabs from Latinos is kinda special. I just look at their facial features. There's something distinctive about them that I cannot pinpoint.

He looks Arab to me too, but many people think he's Hispanic. A lot of people on ATRL were surprised when someone pointed out he's Arab in some old thread. I'm not sure why, but they probably aren't even sure what an "Arab" is since a lot of ATRLers think Zayn is one.

This is slight OT. But I was SHOCKED when I found out Matt Barnes wasn't Latino. He's half white/half black. I'd sooner believe he was Arab.

Get the last one naked and he could pass as Latino, there is nothing sexier than getting an Arab or Latino naked

[bleuwaffle]

I'm full blooded Latino (Mexican) and I agree with the OP. Don't act like a white knight if you're... white.

I'm not going to lie, I didn't know that. But thanks for saying it.

There's influence, of course, I'm not saying there isn't, but there's not a huge influence as to be able to say that all latinos, including mexicans look alike to arabs.

It's correct. Guess Arabs and Latinos don't look alike to some people. I've personally never gotten mistaken
for an Arab (I got mistaken for a Jew once ), but my Latino friends occasionally get mistaken for Arabs.

I've always thought that they do look alike. It is what it is.

[superben]

Not really, but I guess I can try to see your point and think that the "similarity" comes with diversity from the gene pools. They have traits of Asian, Blacks and Whites.
