Didn't they cast two girls from the Philippines? They're still Asian.

Estelle Chen, Kelly Gale, Sui He, Kelsey Merritt

4 girls out of 50+ is pretty sad. 

I could have missed girls if some of them are mixed/white passing, but compared to last years cast it's a definite decrease. 

I got curious, so here's an approximate 'categories on forms' breakdown of the girls cast (plus a few nagging rumours, thanks to Pretty for her list) and hopefully this isn't too badly worded / categorised.

Hopefully there are no glaring errors but please correct me if there are! Some of the girls have minimal information out there.

Yasmin is half surinamese ( south america), half dutch i thought 

I’m shocked at how few Brazilians there are tbh. 

Damn, Gigi and Bella repping the Middle East… That definitely skews the results even if it’s technically true.

Gigi is white not mixed
