I want to say Turkish, but she could pass for any ethnic group living throughout the meditteranean, me thinks.

I think she looks pan-Mediterranean. Imaginarypallies said "Mexican". If he's referring to Mexico's upper-class of white people, then yes: she could be Mexican, too. What she doesn't look like, however, is an Amerindian.  I think she would go unchallenged if she tried to pass as anything from Iberian to Sicilian to Anatolian. A babe in whatever language. |

She has similar eyes and eyebrows to you.

She has similar eyes and eyebrows to you. I was thinking the same thing. I figured she's a cousin of atessalev. |

I would want to say Turkish, too, but I agree with Anodyne. She could be plucked anywhere from the Med littoral.
lol @ Mexican... yeah right... I wish the typical Mexicans that walked into my store looked like that.

A few more guesses and i will reveal it!
How about Indian though? Does anyone think she can pass for one?

No, she doesn't look one iota Indian to me. Although I've seen many Iranid upper-caste Indians, none that I've ever encountered looked so wholly Euro-Med as this girl. Upper-caste Indians stereotypically have narrower mouths, larger, more aquiline noses. And even when they're "fair," by the standards of the sub-continent, they're typically not as light-skinned as this girl.  (I wouldn't be surprised, however, if the girl was from one of the remaining Caucasoid tribes of Afghanistan or Iran--who are far more fair and Euripoid than Indians.) Like this female Afghan filmmaker:  Or the famous green-eyed Afghhan girl from the cover of the National Geographic magazine:  . . . who looks a lot like Irish-American Nancy McKeon from TV's "Facts of Life" [pictured below].  |

Of course, I could be Chilean. In fact, I have family there. By the tone of your comment, though, one assumes that by "Chilean," you mean aboriginal Chilean Indians.  I guess I could pass for one of them--if only for the fact that I don't have deep-reddish brown skin, a pinched hooked nose, or a stocky, neckless build. My ample chest and body hair also kind of spoil it. Other than that, I guess me and the guy in the picture above could be twins, lol  If Hollywood has taught us anything, it's this: Anyone can be an Indian--as long as he's Mediterranean, olive-skinned and black-haired. Like Robert Blake in "Tell Them Willie Boy Is Here":  Or Sal Mineo in "Tonka," as White Bull:  We three should start a new tribe of hairy, fat-nosed Indians. This ancient citizen of Pompeii can join, too. Look at how dark he is. Proof positive "Indians" swam all the way over to Rome!  Everyone knows that all Europeans are lily-white and blue-eyed. If you don't look like that you MUST clearly be an Indian, lol. It's a F-A-C-T. |

Droop, you haven't changed a bit, bro.  How about Indian though? Does anyone think she can pass for one? Nah, she doesn't look Indian. Not even North Indid. She lacks the teardrop nose, for instance. The German Mediterranean in my avatar would pass for Indian before this chick. |

That chick is my sister.  So she's Turkish with God knows how much Circassian ancestry. She does often get mistaken for an Indian though. |

Gets mistaken for Indian? By who?
I think if you said she was West Asian and then asked most people to guess where she's from, the majority would correctly guess Turkey, or the Levant at the southernmost. She doesn't look Arabian, Indian, nor stereotypically Iranian.
