No, that's the Finns. The Finns are Mongols, and the Russians, to a surprising extent, are Volga Finns. Does that make them "Mongols", too? IDK, you tell me.
I think Ariete is the Mongol - oops, Finn expert. Let's ask him - since Finns are everywhere on your map?
May be Italians are Finns too?
Italy is very diverse and it's not just diverse by regions..My mother was born in Italy and came from a big family..half her siblings could pass for Hispanic/Arab half have blond hair and blue eyes
I also do not understand, why it is important, most European countries are well mixed, over the centuries.
THIS exactly, and yet some people for some reason find this so very hard to fathom. We all have our stereotypical 'ideas' about what an Italian looks like and there is probably a tendency for the percentages of Italians with blond hair to change North to South but at the end of the day you can be ginger and southern European (like that Spanish golfer fella) and you can be 'darker' featured and Northern European like Michael Ballack or Sean Connery, ultimately Europeans are 'well mixed' and anybody (Saxonwold) that thinks they can tell a Europeans nationality simply by looking at them are very much mistaken.

Yes, some are well mixed, but the majority, I'd argue, are typical to their ethnicity and specific country. If you'd see a blue eyed and blond haired dude and you'd be as likely to place him in southern Italy as you would somewhere in Finland then that is a clear sign of cognitive dissonance, the globalist had a field day with you. Of course, there are always deviations and people who would check the box in many countries, like distinguishing between Czechs and Slovakians is not so easy, as they are quite similar but differentiating between Czechs and Spanish or Finns and Greek is not so difficult for the most part.
I have a czech friend and a friend from Tuscany and they look almost exactly the same, almost like brothers. I agree with easthome on this one.
Which says exactly nothing about the core argument of my statement, congratz. You can also take a ginger from Siberia and from Scotland and not be any smarter. That's called a deviation.

Thank you. I don't know in which way they "deviate". It's not like people are surprised when they open their mouths to find out they're from the country they actually are from.
Actually they both have medium brown hair and fair skin and are rather tall, so they look like pretty random european white people.
As I say, people in Italy tend to have very varied looks, so the typical stereotype people may have disappears as soon as people spend valuable time here.

Specific to their ethnicity perhaps but you simply cannot tell the difference when it comes to countries, certainly not in the 21st Century, there a millions of blond Italians and millions of brunette Germans, the percentages may differ but being a blond Italian doesn't make you 'Germanic' being a Norwegian with brown eyes doesn't make you Greek, I challenge anybody to sort a room full of Germans, Italians and Britons (just one example) into their respective nationalities based on colouration, looks or nose shapes and I can Guarantee they will fail (despite what Saxonwold liked to think). Europeans have 'inter-bred' for thousands of years and now you can add peoples from further afield than Europe into the mix too (particularly Western European nations) and you have ended up with Britons, French or Portugese people (again just as European examples) being completely mixed. You should have seen the classes my girls were in when at school, it looked like a UN meeting and yet they are all local girls and boys. As for the original question I think the term 'Germanic' refers to a nationality rather than a 'race' anyway.
