Does Miss Iceland Look Icelandic

[Lenny]

Based on the below photo, does this woman appear Icelandic to you? If you didn't know which nation she represented and you had to guess, would one of your top guesses be Iceland?

She is the one sitting down with the "Miss World" sash

Miss Iceland does not look like a stereotypical Icelander, but types like her are found in Iceland. The Icelanders are darker haired than other Scandinavians, and like the Northern Swedes and Norwegians have a Lappish strain.

Not what I would think of as typically Icelandic, but cute nonetheless

[Jimbo Gomez]

That's not a mud.

Whats wrong here, is there not black haired girls in Iceland? A typical Irish girl could have any colour hair really.

[Martin Kuklinski]

She's not Nordic for one. She's not part of the MASTER RACE.She looks exactly like a finno-ugric, the blue cold eyes and dark hair are the typical feature of a Lappish person.

[Martin Kuklinski]

Whats wrong here, is there not black haired girls in Iceland?Actually no. Icelandics are Norwegians. A typical Irish girl could have any colour hair really.You have no typical Irish Celtic girl in Ireland. I've been to Northern-Ireland ones, and i'll have to say; 2 of the 4 Irish prod's i have seen were Anglo-Saxon looking.

The swarthy Irish are products of inter-mixing with the Spanish.

[Ambrosio Spinola]

Intermixing with the Spanish? LOL...Yeah, the famed stranded sailors of the armada. LOL, what a bunk! If anything the first settlers in post glacial Britain came indeed from the Iberian Glacial refuge and formed the core upon which the sucesive invader waves build upon, from Celts to Romans to Saxons and so on.

:rofl: News to me!

[Martin Kuklinski]

:rofl: News to me!It's the bloody truth, lad.

Besides, even Ebuti-anus concurred: Intermixing with the Spanish? LOL...Yeah, the famed stranded sailors of the armada. LOL, what a bunk!

[Ambrosio Spinola]

In that sense Martin, most of western Europe did have that basic post glacial "swarthy" base at the time. Continental Europe did just receive way more eastern indoeuropeans who became the main population, but still the Sean Connerys type of people all over the area and it has nothing to do with recent migrations as it goes way back.

I'm swarthy.

[Ambrosio Spinola]

I'm swarthy.

In that case you should be put down like a rabid micegenated dog :D

[Felix the Cat]

Do we know when the blonde hair/blue eyes mutation occurred?

It obviously happened somewhere along the Baltic coast

[Jimbo Gomez]

Don't scare our posters you levantine mud. :D

My father is Turkish and my mother is Italian and Dutch.

:nono:

[Martin Kuklinski]

Ebusitanus: but still the Sean Connerys type of people all over the area and it has nothing to do with recent migrations as it goes way back.Are you telling me that Sean Connery is just a swarthy looking full blooded Scotsman? And that he's not effected by swarthy invasions or intermixing that occured on the British Isles?

[Ambrosio Spinola]

Martin, the Sean Connery type is what first set foot on the islands when the ice receded north. The same can be said about most of western europe. It is just that the impact of indoeuropean migrations was bigger on the continent than on the islands, specially Ireland. Spain was also one of the last to receive indoeuropean waves and this is why there is the Atlanto-Med. Not to be confused with middle easterners for they are not so closely related.

[Jimbo Gomez]

The word swarthy is quite amusing to use, but I wouldn't go build entire anthropological classifications on it Martin...

[Ambrosio Spinola]

My father is Turkish and my mother is Italian and Dutch.

:nono:

Ugh!..well....how do you feel about the whole European Union thing? Do you feel the people on your father´s side should be allowed in?

[Martin Kuklinski]

Martin, the Sean Connery type is what first set foot on the islands when the ice receded north.Ebu, i did not know that. My knowledge on the category:Sub-Race(s) is very limited. The same can be said about most of western europe.You mean the South of Germany, French speaking part of Belgium and France itself? It is just that the impact of indoeuropean migrations was bigger on the continent than on the islands, specially Ireland.Yes, i noticed when i was in Ireland. Not to be confused with middle easterners for they are not so closely related.I would never. Altough Cordoba is pretty infested with Arabic looking hybrids.

The word swarthy is quite amusing to use, but I wouldn't go build entire anthropological classifications on it Martin...I wont, being part non-Nord myself.

I wouldn't guess shes Icelandic because quite honestly I haven't seen many people from Iceland so I am unable to vote fairly. :D Besides in every country there is a range of looks... not everyone looks the same. Unlike what many antis seem to believe, every ethnic group has a wide range of DIVERSITY in looks. This is why I can't stand antis who go like, "we need to increase non-white immigration... our current population is so bland without a spice of diversity!" Actual governments do say this shit, I kid you not. :D Europeans are probably the most diverse in the world.

I agree Anima, I'd hit it. :) *sigh* Nordicism is such a big problem isn't it? This girl isn't even "swarthy" and she gets accusations of being a mud for having dark brown hair?! :D I have green eyes, not blue and I have light brown hair, I must be a mud too. :p

Where do swarthy Dutchmen come from, Martin?

[Ambrosio Spinola]

Where do swarthy Dutchmen come from, Martin?

Following the same "Armada" logic of swarthy Irish...mhhh..my best guess from the hunderds of years that land was subject to wild religious wars that brought tens of thousands of Spaniards to the Low countries to expell the devil and his heretic minions from Habsburg land :D

[Banat]

If I had to guess her ethnicity by her face, I'd say she was either French or Ukrainian. Don't ask me why the two.

[Jimbo Gomez]

She has something French in her yes. I assume she'd prefer something Flemish instead though. :hump:

The wits?
