She looks noticeably darker than Germans in this pic. This is normal, since she has average Turkish skin. Can this be enough for passing as white American without any doubt?

she is not dark skinned at all- looks rather pale in fact... she is dark haired

a lot of people can pass as white American, but imo i would have guessed as Russian Jew mix from 1st pic

Yes she can. Turkish Americans are white Americans. She resembles a Croatian woman I know

According to definition, yes. According to genetic studies, no, they are not.

Yes, but white American in broad sense, not strictly colonial.

well, exactly thats the confusing part- since most AShkenazi/Shephardic are between European and Mena, they can look like that, and most are more Euro leaning, but genetically can be different. On the other hand you could have gentically pred. Euro ones, but if the Euro part is very Southern they could end up Mena looking ...

Yes, can pass. But not WASP, looks more continental or something.
