It's the nose. Arab would not be the first thing I think of when I see you, but for otherwise untravelled people, they might say that.__________________________________________________ _________
Anyhow, how is being Latina have anything do due with the color of your skin anyway, or what characteristics you have? You are what you say you are, people can have all sorts of looks, and Hispanics/Latinas would be the very first in the world to know this. Most of the time, people looking at anybody besides themselves just can't get it right anyway, LOL!
I have met a natural bleach blonde, paper white skin lady my age from Mexico City, and she had lived there and Matazlan all her life, as did her mother. She is Dutch by ethnicity, but she is most definitely Latina. She speaks Spanish, her culture is Mexican, she is Hispanic.

I also agree about Brazil. That place is the real melting pot. America never really came close to it, IMO.
