Races you can "pass" for?

Especially for actors, are there any ethnicities that you don't belong to but can pass as anyway?

I can pass as Hispanic and, if my hair is long, Native American.

Well..
My dad is from Iraq and my mother from France..and I'm literally a blend of the two. Nobody ever knows where to put my ethnicity. I have his jet black hair, but her blue blue eyes. My skin is not completely white, but it's not tan. My features are often described as European. People guess anywhere from Armenian, Argentinian, Spanish, Lebanese, French, Cuban...and others. I don't even know how to describe it myself.

Human, and occasionally Martian.

If you can pass for a Martian, I bet you can pass for an orangutan.

Not me, but I have a friend who gets cast in "ethnic" shows all the time because she can easily pass for so many different ethnicities.

Are you casting something? Why do you ask?
