    @neiltennant The people in India who have Portuguese blood are Portuguese as well . My girlfriend is from Jamaica and her great-great-great grandfather was Portuguese. And she has Dark chocolate skin and Afro-textured hair and she is Ethnic Portuguese just like your friends who are full and half.

      That’s possible. The Moors were in Spain/Portugal as well many ages ago, but he’s still considered Portuguese. Most people who have ancestry from the Mediterranean do have a little North African or Middle Eastern ancestry.

    CR7 and Messi’s pics are very very old. If you can, you might change them with more recent ones.
