Could KJ Apa pass as fully British?

[MobyD]

He has a Samoan grandfather but looks more like his British Isles side IMO

Yes.

[Ülev]

Welsh

[Voskos]

I would've guessed him as a full white.

[Grace O'Malley]

No. Maori or Pacific Island ancestry is obvious looking at him.

How though? If you’re talking about his nose, then I have to disagree. This nose type is not uncommon in NW Europe.

[Gondor]

No. I immediately guessed the pacific ancestry

It's obvious and if you can't see it then I can't understand how you can't. There are lots of Maoris and Pacific Islanders here and he has obvious ancestry from them. He definitely doesn't look fully British.

This is Daniel Carter, former All Blacks captain. He is British Isles/Maori ancestry.

This guy looks more exotic than KJ Apa.

[Grace O'Malley]

KJ only has a grandfather that is Pacific Islander but it is still obvious in his looks. You can see the similarity.

Exactly. Some of these responses are obviously biased.

[Petalpusher]

I didn't know, when i saw it in Riverdale or something, i thought he had something uncommon, and it could have been just some exagerated cm. I guess he passes unless you know.

I don’t think the average person is going to look at him and go, “Oh yea he’s obviously part Samoan!”

[Pietro97]

Maori is visible

But not 100%

He passes as a white American

[Creoda]

No. Australoid brow ridges + thick nose, black hair, brown eyes, bushy eyebrows and unusual skin.

His name gives it away, don't need to be an anthrotard to recognise that.

If he wasn't famous and didn't use that name, he would easily pass.

[Mr.G]

Classic case of, 'Oh yeah I can see that', after learning he is 1/4 Samoan.

If I didn't know, I would have put him in the category of unusual looking Brits like Mr. Bean or Russell Brand (not that he looks like them, just that he is unique looking, like them).

Not to me (or Grace).

[Uranous]

the majority of its phenotype is European.

[Davystayn]

He looks obviously mixed, doesn't even look paleo atlantid.

One of the worst things about this forum is people stating that people can fit somewhere that they don't live in.

Clear islander heritage which is common in NZ particularly. He doesn't pass as unmixed sorry
