I don't know...
I always had the theory that it was probably the snow, maybe there's a minority.
Also high cheekbones.
Maybe my uncle married a Yeti, or she was partly Lapo...I don't know. Children came out black haired when my uncle was dirty blonde. Quite curious. Very gentle woman, but too much alcohol in Spain..
A neighbour "knocked out" a Swedish teenager back in the 50's and her family came, so there was a shotgun wedding....but then...she also had slanted eyes and high cheekbones but she was blonde.
So I have a rather reduced sample since I have never been to Sweden, but I have seen many girls like that.
Well, do Polish, Austrian, Swiss, Slovenes, Czech, Slovaks and so on have narrow eyes because of the snow, because they have seen a lot of it. Do you have a theory that snow makes it so bright that your eyes just "become" narrow? I don't think snow for 2 or 3 months a year would be sufficient. And when there is snow on the ground, it's the darkest and cloudiest time of the year. Shouldn't Spaniards have narrow eyes as there's so much sun?
The Yeti is a snowman who lives in the Himalayas, he's fictional. Maybe she was Sami, but those are a tiny minority. Sweden has 9.5 million people and 30,000 Samis which most have lived in isolation until the last 100 years.
There you have a Sami girl from Sweden:
And there's a Finnish one:
The Samis who live here don't look like this, if you thought so:
However. if my posts above seeked racist.. that wasn't my intent.
in my life i search to balance my culture with opening to immigrants.. discussing with them. At my university i made friends with an african group studying here. Excanching opinions and chatting.
i try to balance.
but mostly it s easier for me to stick only witb italians.. because cultural similarities are inevitables.. and because ut s the society different from usa or australia. I don't know wich is better. The world to me funchion on possibilities, options ecc.. .
it s easier if you already were born in new york.
Regarding my obsession with fisical traits is just one of my hobby observing it.
i could describe also the varieties of other ethnicities, like nigerians vs senegaleses.. the first being tendencially more robust and round headed.. i don't know why.
Since I did a thread about how much Latin Americans love Blonde people with blue eyes, I want to know about how Europeans view people with black hair and brown eyes, do they find them exotic or what?
I am latin american (Colombian) andI don't love blonde people, where did u get that idea from?
by the way, plenty of europeans have brown hair and brow eyes..... no one in europe cares about other people eye color
Pakis are not Middle Easteners, entirely different. They don't look like Latin mestizos at all.
Thing is about chavs in England, you know, poor people that live in public housing, they think everyone with dark hair, a tan, and a beard are "Pakis". I look nothing like a mestizo.

Isn't your heritage all European? I would have thought the British would have assumed you were European. You should responded to the racist comment in Spanish. American accent might also work.
My heritage is, it's not 100%, but somewhere around 97%. Thing is, I tan pretty easily, and when I get a tan and don't shave, I look like I'm from Turkey. In Spanish, we call it looking Moorish. Or as Miserere would know it, un moro. It's after I lost my tan (and my beard) in that perpetually cloudy climate did people start thinking I was Italian.
there are many southern european, i greece, italy and spain that could pass easily as iranians and there dore as pakistanis.
i have a friend here.. one of my best friend at uni a girl from pakistan (yes.. so i m not close at all to immigrants ) that cpuld pass as a dark italian.. there are italians like her.
