Guess these people's ethnicities

I have to write a research paper for English. My thesis is that Americans are more easily able to identify a stranger's ethnic culture just by looking at the person. I need to prove it or disprove it though, so here are five pictures of people. I did this same thing with some americans and I am going to compare the data. PLEASE DON' T JUST BULL**** ME!!! thanks.

the third pic is two people of the same ethnicity.
the second one is tricky. She is 50% one ethnicity and 50% another. The people i will post in the pic below are sisters and are also 50/50.

It helps us to catch spam and to vet what gets posted here. The Media and Research Opportunities forum could otherwise be quite easily misused. :smile:

1) Indian / Sri-Lankan
2) Swedish / Norway / Denmark
3) Not sure :s-smilie:

American?
4) Spanish and ?

As you can see I'm not very good :tongue:

Out of interest why do you think Americans are able to spot diff races better? Because they're less xenophobic? More central geographically so have a more diverse culture? Sounds interesting :smile:
