+1 yThe Navajo tribe has predominantly Asiatic features.
The first of these girls is full-blooded Navajo. The second, whose features are kinda vaguely reminiscent of mine, is some majority fraction Navajo:

Because I'm 1/4 Navajo, I get mistaken for having "the international look" -- in other words, for being "hapa", or half-Asian -- ALL THE TIME. (The rest of me is mostly Latina, some white, maybe a little bit of black, we aren't quite sure about that last eighth.)
In fact, ironically, I first got scouted for modeling work by someone who thought I was an "international school kid". Literally, picked off the street in Santa Monica, by some dude recruiting talent for agencies in Tokyo and HK. I'm like, nope, I'm from a few miles down PCH. LOL
... but, 19 days later -- and, knowing exactly as much Japanese as I could learn in 19 days -- my ass was on a plane to Tokyo. Fun times.
Unsurprisingly, other (part-) Navajo people are correctly able to identify this piece of my ethnicity.
Most people are also really shitty at guessing the Mexican part of me, because most people are not aware that there are tall, light-skinned Mexicans. (My paternal grandfather was about 6'5"-6'6" and looked kinda like former Mexican president Vicente Fox.)04 Reply- +1 y

But I can't blame them because my ethnicity kinda has a resemblance on both of them00 Reply
People know I'm white but they tend to ask my ethic heritage to figure out why I'm so big... I'm 6'3", broad shoulder/muscular... When I list them off there like ah it's because you're a Native American Warrior, or ah it's because you're a Swedish Viking, or Germanic Barbarian. *smh*
