Reading this forum, it is Americans who are obsessed with race and color... . What is terrible is what they think about How people look like. They live with stereotypes, it is part of their nature.
I always read in this forum that French are short.... It s not only wrong but exactly the opposite=> we are the tallest in Europe and in the world.
I am sure Americans think French are not tall for instance whereas they are the tallest in Europe with Germans, Letonians and Dutch.
Average in France: 179,7 cm
Average in the USA: 177,1 cm
I am personnaly trying to restore the truth.
Claiming F.Hollande looks like the average French is wrong. You can hardly be darker. Many Could pass for being Hollande in France but it still the darkest look in France.
Maybe many look like Hollande in Tours or Marseille, but no one Could pass for Hollande in Calvados for instance even if it is very close
But the biggest American stereotype is Frenchies are short and dark skinned.
We are the tallest Europeans and the palest in Europe (palest after the English)
It is true that the ethnic French have a relatively high frequency of skin phototype 1(pale white skin which always burn, never tans) but at the same time, they have a considerable frequency for skin phototype 4. This again shows how variable is the French population, because France is large country in Europe.
The frequency of skin phototypes among ethnic French people are:
Phototype I (always burns, never tans): 11.6%
Phototype II (burns easily, tan poorly): 25.7%
Phototype III ( tans after initial burn) : 30.9%
Phototype IV ( burns minimally, tans easily) : 31.8%
Comparing to a North European population like ethnic Finnish:
Phototype I: 8%
Phototype II: 25%
Phototype III: 57%
Phototype IV: 10%
Comparing to a South European population, ethnic Italian:
Phototype I and II: 10.3%
Phototype III: 45.8%
Phototype IV: 44.5%
Not much, but still overall lighter. Western France is definitely much lighter. Don't confuse Germanic with German. See. Scandinavian influence is also found in northern France especially in Normandy! The Ancient Franks, Burgundians, Allemani, Goths, Teutons, Saxons all these Germanic tribes invaded France and left their impact there too, especially the north.
Additionally not all Germans are blonde-haired, blue-eyed, fair. You know like:
There are dark Germans too like:
Not all germans are blonde but they are generally more blond-blue eyed and tall than anybody in Europe except Dutch and Scandinavians. And Northern germany is practically on the same "league" of blondness of Scandinavia/Netherlands, and definitelly taller than most scandinavians and almost as tall as the dutch...
By the way those german people with dark hair have "germanic" facial structure. they dont look like meds from southern europe or celts from atlantic europe.

Another name to say the same s h y t e. Whatever the Celts are from "Atlantic Europe" they are genetically closest to other Northern Europeans and not Southern Europe. You've never answered me directly about why you have this obsession? Not that I expect you to in any way be honest because you just come back with a different name to say the same things. You are odd in that you want to disparage British and Irish people but want to pull then closer to Southern Europeans like yourself and distance them from populations that they are actually close to.

Britain is atlantic world and people, and they look it, sorry . Do you actually live in the UK? Have you seen any of those long legged beauties that you see often in Germany, Czech or the Netherlands in the UK? not even once.. british body types are completely different. Whatever you want to claim, I wish Uk looked more like Germany, or NL or Czech, because then there would be a larger pool of beautiful women in the World, but sadly it is not the case.

Xenophobic, racist, claptrap, I notice you still haven't actually given anything to back up your hateful claims! WE WANT PROOF!
eyes are the best proof, or maybe you need glasses.
Nope that's not 'proof' is it! When I look around the UK I see beautiful people, plain people and ugly people, its exactly what I saw in France, Spain, Greece, Portugal, Belgium, Croatia, Turkey etc etc, its what I saw in EVERY country I have ever been to (and there have been quite a few), everywhere that is EXCEPT Germany, in Germany there are only ugly women, they all have ugly features and very fat knees (see what I did there again!). Take a look yourself! The proof of what I say is my eyes!

The proportions are way different, croatians are much better looking people as a whole than brits.. in Portugal men are much better looking than the women.

No point being sorry as you know there is no such thing genetically as "atlantic". You are just an advocate of the "Atlantic Facade" which has no genetic validity. Anyway as I've said previously I don't know why a Spanish person is so obsessed with blonds, Germans and of course the Irish and the British.
You should be the one who is sad because of your obsession.
