I think it’s ridiculous people saying he looks mixed. Yeah he’s a little darker, but seriously his features look very Caucasian to me. I’m not even saying he’s 100% white for sure, maybe he has some aboriginal. But even if that would probably be a very small amount, probably so small that it wouldn’t influence his DNA in any way. Another stupid thing I’ve seen on this website is people thinking that if you have a 2% DNA different than the rest of your background you’re mixed. That’s bullshit. The smallest amount to actually have an impact on your DNA is 11%. So when someone says they’re 2% white or 5% black that means absolutely nothing
Percentages are those levels are mentioned because they’re detectable. Whether or not they mean anything is a matter of opinion. There’s people like Elizabeth Warren that is between 1/128th and 1/256 Native American, and she still feels her claim of indigenous heritage is legitimate, and that isn’t even a single whole percent. If you go back far enough we’re just little mice like warm blooded creatures, and further back to single celled organisms, further back we’re just space dust, further back we’re amorphous energy globs. Measurable, quantifiable distinction, and recognizing the tapestry of our past and lineage can help us understand our place in the world and all it took for us as individuals, to come into being.
Oh yeah?? What about Laura Pausini? Do people in Italy think she looks Hispanic or not Italian?
You’re full of bs. Nobody in Italy looks at her and thinks “oh she doesn’t look Italian”. She looks very much your typical paesan. Andrew is Italian, isn’t he?? What does he think about her looks? I would be very curious to hear his opinion
@CoolBeANs
This is a surreal debat. Pausini is a random woman who could be from anywhere in Italy but speaks with a strong accent of her region (Romagna) thus It would be easy to guess where she is from. Mind there is not actually a dramatic difference between people from various parts of Italy.
These are Pausini parents: https://media-assets.vanityfair.it/photos/614dad83546a1df9e3b14618/3:4/w_642,h_856,c_limit/image74.jpg
Both have surnames from N.Italy, her mother even shares it with a Serie A soccer coach from the same area.
Fai ridere i polli come al solito. A parte che i romagnoli sono quelli della Romagna e basta, poi i suoi hanno cognomi locali (sai chi è Ballardini l’allenatore?) e viene da un paesino dove non ci sono immigrati. Vatti a fare la ceretta che è meglio va..
Si sì sai tutto te che sei spagnola del nord….diglielo a uno di Modena o Reggio Emilia che è romagnolo. La Romagna è solo la costa.
I giuliani sono quelli di Trieste e Gorizia in ogni caso, mentre i friulani sarebbero quelli di Udine (infatti lo stadio si chiama “Friuli”).
There you go, exactly what I thought. Also you proved me that her family is from the North like I thought. And I agree with you that there’s not a difference between the south and the north. Like I said I visited Italy, more than once and I spent time in several areas, and yes I can definitely remember not noticing any difference in people’s looks from the South to the north. To me they all looked Italian
There may be a slight difference between locals from various parts of Italy, but not a “dramatic” difference as you read here and there. The more outliers are the native Sardinians being separated from mainland. In Milan and Turin and other big towns, a large part of population is of Southern origin though, but at same time there have been movements of people from north to south. If you come from a big country like U.S or Australia, Italy (and Europe in general) look like a tiny place concentrated within a few hours by plane.
Povera ragazzina ignorante. La Romagna: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romagna
Sì ci sono stati movimenti da nord a sud nel corso della storia. Ma te hai fatto le Magistrali che ne sai??? Confondi l’antropologia con la biologia, non usare concetti che non conosci. Te l’ho detto, fatti la tessera in biblioteca, capra!
L’utente CoolBeANs è dello Iowa, cmq.
Mi dispiace per la tua ———, scusa.
La povera —– ———- ———– cresciuta nel Veneto leghista…poverina! Vattene in Spagna va.
Man for real how can we take that idiot down from this website? I’m sick and tired of the lies and the hate she spreads around. There has to be a way to have her banned from this website
I never said Italians cannot be or look white. Yes there’s plenty of Italians with light skin, blond or red hair and yatta, yatta, yatta. I know that. I’m from the States. Plenty of Italians here and I’ve been in Italy. What I meant is that I didn’t find such a huge difference between the different regions I visited. From North to South I found in each place the super-white blonds and the very swarthy Italians. And stop saying I think Sofia Vergara is not Hispanic. I said she looks mostly white, but I can see some native in her. I do think she looks much whiter than other Latinos though. If I think of a stereotypical Latino/Hispanic person I think more of someone like Camila Cabello. Now can you see the difference between Vergara and her?
You are such a pathological liar it’s disgusting. I visited Naples, especially the Amalfi coast many times in my life and I saw many Italians from the south with blond hair or blue eyes. I’m not Hispanic. You are. People from Spanish origins are Hispanic
If it wasn’t for his straight hair then I’d definitely think he was mixed
I’m mixed and I have straight hair lol.
As usual the comment section is field with a bunch of ——– Americans. I say this as an American. Are people really saying he looks Mexican? you must not see many Mexicans or you are confusing white mexicans with mestizos because this guy looks fully white. Maybe because of Hollywood Americans have an ignorant view of people. But all English people looking like blonde anglo saxons is far from reality. Racially England is a melting pot of European groups.
Europeans/Caucasians have the most expansive skin, hair and eye variation in the world. Stop applying rules for less diverse people such as East Asians or Blacks to white people. The same rules just dont apply. White people are the most diverse people on the planet. Blonde, pink, blue eyed =/= the only white people. Furthermore do you even realize what people of South America looked like before Spanish. Italian and Portuguese influence? They looked asiatic. Stop associating a European-centric phenotype with some imaginary latino race. This guy would not look out of place in Southern Europe.
filled* Damn I should look at the screen when i’m typing lol
“White people are the most diverse people on the planet. Blonde, pink, blue eyed =/= the only white people” – Yet, EVERYBODY ELSE is “coloured”…
Actually, it’s black people/Negroids that are the most varied genetically. Also, Caucasian can be applied to: North Africans, South Asians, and Western Asians.
@caligurl2
I agree with Kimmel , black people are more diverse genetically and skin tone wise(and I’m talking about Africans). Blue ,green, hazel etc eyes are more common to whites, but not exclusive to them. Africans also have these colors, it’s just rare(also there are Africans with those eye colors, and are healthy. I’ve seem natural blond and red hair on Africans also. again just rare. Also Caucasian these days can be anybody (black or white). I’ve know plenty of black people with Caucasian phenotypes
He recently became a father.
South African going by the name. And not really surprising considering it’s a boat ride away from Australia.
