He also thinks he can spot a 'proper Briton' and basically insults 95% of all British people, its complete nonsense and I am trying to get something from him to prove what he claims (obviously he cant because its nonsense) so he just posts random pictures and rambles on about nothing in particular instead. You're right of course he is obviously beyond reasonable discussion perhaps I ought to leave it and just be thankful he's not British (unlike me!) :-D
Instead of lying, use your intellect to understand , stop imagining things I did not say at all. All, I said is the most common pigmentation among ethnic Brits is a fair skin, brown hair and usually blue or green eyes, sharp facial profile. if you don't have those characteristics and you are British that doesn't make you any less British. It is just that you don't have those most common characteristics, that's all! Nothing to cry about. British people don't only live in Britain, they have settled in many parts of the world. A history class may come handy to you. I post pictures to emphasize my points, if you don't look like the people I post, it's O.K. move on!!!
I never said that I was British. I am an American with my paternal ancestry principally from the British Isles (precisely England) and my maternal ancestry from the Netherlands (precisely Gelderland province). I say that I have Saxon ancestry on both sides, my English side ( Anglo-Saxons) and my Dutch side (Continental Saxons).

The fact that this thread still exists is proof that God exists and he hates us.

Genetical studies shows that the Northern Dutch to be consistently bluer and lighter-eyed than Southern Dutch, though the difference in hair color between those regions is not that great. Northern Netherlands is about as blue/light-eyed as the U.K., but the Southern Netherlands is less blue-eyed than U.K.
Nevertheless, in both countries, the commonest eye color is blue.

Like this ethnic Dutch athlete

Infantile blondism is high in northern parts of the Netherlands which makes dark blonde and light brown hair common among ethnic Dutch adults.

Dutch children.

How many times has saxonwold posted the same crap? Unless you're a professional anthropologist, you have a serious case of OCD when it comes to northern European anthropomorphic studies.

Yes, I studied biological anthropology. I don't have an OCD problem, rather I know what I am talking about.

The point is despite what (some) people on here think there is NO difference in the European look depending on which country Europeans reside from (more dark hair in Southern Europe yes, more blond in Scandinavia yes but NO WHERE near exclusive in either area), ask yourself this - who 'looks' more Scottish when it comes to stereotypes Golfer Miguel Angel Jimenez from Andalucia or actor Sean Connery from Edinburgh?
Yes, there is a difference unfortunately! The more you go north, the greater the chance of meeting people of light pigmentation.

This woman below is of North-West European ancestry. Her pigmentation and her features show it well. Her country is the Netherlands, where my maternal ancestors came from!



This man is from North West Europe mainly the British Isles. The pigmentation and facial features show it right away. He's From Ireland.



A German woman.

Better proof is how people like that "uncle ruckus" guy (you know who I refer to) are even allowed to breathe despite his waste of existence and sheer halfwittery.
