Again, I didn't see your question earlier.

Actually, while you say the south, that includes many kind of "cultures". People in the desert get dressed in a different way than Berbers in most villages.
In my native village, I remember that women used to dress in white, and cover their faces like the Berber woman in tha picture. They only show ONE EYE!! Nowadays, even granny don't do that anymore.

Talking about curretn generations, you wouldn't tell who's Moroccan in an European crowd if you observe the way they are dressed.

What I like in my country, is that attachement that we still have to our beautiful traditionnal cloths. When there is a wedding party, or any other happy occasion, you can see all women wearing their colorful long dresses called " taksheeta" or "Qaftan".
Also, in our daily life, many of us still wear their djellabas.

I hope that I can find some nice pictures soon to illustrate what I just said :-)

The women do that in Biskra, Algeria was well. They are Moabites.

Do they still do that? Is it also about showing one eye?
In my village, they used to wear white "mel7fa" (or mel7af, how do you call it?). I thought that only older women do that, and was shocked when I saw my cousin doing it But she shows both eyes!! Actually, mel7af is still used by many women even in big towns.

In fact the Ugur people is only a small minority of Chinese nation, and in China we Han people living in central, north and south China dress very differently, and our ordinary dress and looking is very neutral(neural?) and very international, as these in French, US or English, and in facial features, we Asian are always alike, but as yellow skin, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese and Chinese looks most alike. They are the same breed. They are of same gene identity.

I have never been to Brazil, but it's said that the Brazilian are very hot-hearted, they are straightforward and emotive, sometimes they are angry but always they are romantic. And I heard that Brizilian women wear bikini alot and enjoy the sunbath more often than elsewhere of the world, and there are always many beauties outdoors so as a visitor in Brazil, He must be in love soon with a local girl!
And in appearance, The Hispanic in southamerica is quite like Chinese, because the mixed brown and local race are very similar to our yellow skin, and our height is the same, same low speed of speech, clear voice and separate utterring of words, so if a Chinese and a Brizilian stand together, the only difference is that they are of different breed, and the latter is blue eyes.

Am I Right?

Yes, you described us right Mr. Genius... except the part about Hispanics....well part of it. Hispanics do have pulled eyes like Asians but Brazilians don`t.
Most of Hispanics in South America decend from indians that is why their eyes are like the Asian people. I had a dear friend in El Salvador who descended from indians and he just looked like a Japanese guy.
What I do not get is how people recognize a Brazilian It is ok as you said we are medium height, medium shape body, but our faces are a big mixture. Most of us are brunet, others, dark and there are those who are alike the Europeans. If you come to Brazilian regions, you can understand that well. While in the Nort you can find a mix of indians, in the Northeast a mix of black people, in the South a mix of all + portuguese and italians, and in the South they are "very europeans " specially German`s appearence - blue eyes and blond hair.
I remember when I went to the USA a man in a park looked at my group and shouted lol : HELLOOOOOOOOO BRAZILIANNNNNSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
lol lol lol we shouted back and some of us danced samba till we get near him...lol lol
