I have looked up pictures of Beckham and he is white.
Because you do this on other threads as well, stating supposed facts like such as earlier when you doubted that type III skin was common in the UK with no proof other than your prejudices. I'm not the first person to notice you doing this either

The fact that David Beckham is naturally white does't prove anything, the fact that he is capable of getting a good tan is the more pertinent observation.

Where is your proof? You keep mentioning 1 little map that I haven't seen yet. Look, stereotypes are based off facts that are blown out of proportion. Fact is most ethnic Anglo saxons are not type iii, otherwise the stereotype would not be that brits are white but brits are hot blooded southern italians.

lol did a kid draw that map? That's just showing skin colour based from latitude and nothing more.. which is funny because eastern Russians and Chinese definitely do not have pale skin as that map would suggest.

Italians have type III and IV skin, southern England is II and III as the most common. Scotland, Ireland I and II is the most common.

I live here and you don't, you're just making assumptions and basing from stereotypes - so I'll make the assumption that you're a fat American who eats a Big Mac every day and goes shooting plastic cans off the back of a pick up truck every weekend because you're from NC.

Last bit sounds fun, though I would prefer decoys. Where is your fact other than anecdotal? I looked at other threads and some guy named saxonwold doesn't agree with you... according to him and a study he found 54 percent of brits are type i. Type Iv is pretty dark and from the Italians I have seen they only get there from extreme tanning.

When you seek sicilian men in Google amongst the first results you can see this photo:
That photo has clearly been digitally altered to make them appear darker. Sicilians are not as dark as that, Maltese have a similar genetic mix & they are not as dark as that either lol.

Skin tone isn't the only determining factor. People are naturally going to be paler in northern Europe due to the climate. I find it funny how you haven't noticed how dark Australia is on your map. White Australians are largely of British and Irish ancestry, yet they aren't stereotyped as being pale, because they are exposed to more sunlight.

A lot of southern Europeans, including those "hot-blooded" Italians, appear white when exposed to less sun. As with the Ronaldo photo I showed you, which you responded to with some BS about "olive undertones", the guy was as white as a ghost.

Although I'm not even claiming that the UK is mostly Type III. I just think you're arguing this in the wrong way.

He did have olive undertones, white yes definetely, but with olive undertones. When I think of Australians I think of sunburned people.

How is that map useful? I've seen dark skinned native Bostonians that were of Italian ancestry that were far darker than some Scots Irish native of Atlanta GA. And trust me I've seen them with their clothes off .
