Many people hate WASPs, Italians, and Germans. So they claim “british people are dark and short, if they
are taller, as 160, they are “scandinavian”, etc.
One can always put together a “collection” of pics, which “proves” his “theory”, which has nothing common with real
life out-of-door
I’m sorry but if your responsible for slavery,segregation and ethnic discrimination against every group that isn’t Anglo identified then its no wonder wasps are the most hated.They’re responsible for america being the ——– it is today.
Sorry, he’s ugly, only his eyes are not ugly
“They have the same new york accent” – the stupidest
argument.
italians look like greek, turks, bulgarians.
@ nnnnn
your comments are often pointless since u wrote this stuff (just some of your posts, there are even worst ones)
“Matt Damon looks Asian”: NO WAY
“Scandinavians look more slavic (?), als germanic. If sweden
football team plays against Ukraine (they have the same yellow-blue tricot) or Danmark against Czech, it’s difficult to recognize, who is who”.
That is ridiculous, Eastern Europeans are way different from Western ones
Also you said Italians look like Greek (passable for Southern Italians), Turks (?), Bulgarians (??)
Do you think these guys of Bulgaria team look Italian? are u crazy??

Andrew: the greatest irony – the members of Greek football team looks like “greek stereotyp”, far from that antic greek, you presented as “typical greek nose”
You’ve vorgotten the israel football team. Or you
saw, that they have nothing common with italians
and didn’t post them?
Yes, I mean, Damon looks a bit asian, and scandinavs a bit slavic.
Likewise, you mean “typical italians and greeks
have blue eyes”, and Follers means, Schweger
is “blond”.
one more: you all are “serious scientists”, but
use” arguments” are like facebook: pointless,
jelous etc.
Correct: Damon looks HALF-asian.
Ha-ha, N 9 in greek team can be an ethiopean jew
Why such “emotional”? Are you affected?
You think, everybody, besides of you, post “stuff”,
and my opinion, YOU post stuff. I can discuss with
you, if you explain, what’s you point and bring a
bit logic.
BTW,Israel team (I suppose, most of them are arabs),Greek, Itaian, Bulgarian teams – all of them have the same colouring. I didn’t see Eisenbergs among them
Oh, at least MY name isn’t some Abraham Israel,
(D)
No, he can’t. Visit Europe, and you’ll see. Instead
to have too much PC contact with persons like
Andrew with their theory about “typical blond”
italians and greeks
Jesse Eisenberg can easily pass everywhere in Europe, Italy too.
@ follers
Franco Nero is half Southern Italian
@nnnnn
you have no clue about stuff you are talking about. If you still think Matt Damon looks Asian, and Scandinavian look Slavic (?) wtf…
And I have never posted pics of Greek team, do you want Israel team? here is
