I do believe roger it sound racist vs asian and natives american people .But am here for help you to learn
,Facts : Messi nationality it is Argentinian and spaniard .
Messi phenotype it is white , I would even not consider him south European , to me he look more central European. Messi composition dna or “race: probably it is full per cent European from italy (tuscan) , and if in his family were some italian -argentianian person whit some “mongolian ” indian ancestry , it will be to low percent for called him mestizo .Other ways there are many white americans , that should be called mestizo , when they have some little bit 10- 5- or 2 % of native on them .
Do you know that Angelina Joly , Cheer , Jhonny Deep , Elvis Presley check the huge list here ( http://www.nativecelebs.com/actors8.htm_)
So even if he have some “mongolian drops ” of native from south american I will consider him withe person from argentina of italian background ,and may be some native .
(many 100% european from Scandinavia , Norway or Finland have also mongolian on the from the sami people , and many south european have from the Huns and from the gens passed from the Turkish , on est europe , austria , italy , greeck even in germany .
on dna test dues that many time are found asian gens 100% european , so we can also think that european are “mestizo ” ,beside mongolian and asian gens should be consider a positive trait since asian population second study have higher iq that Caucasian or others .(how you explain the huge civilation of mayas ,incaas,in americas ?)
see the link full european tha test native american on them since they have mongolian gens that come from est Europe :
http://www.ancestrybydna.com/abd-average-results.php
u r completely right. if he is not white, half of white americans should be called mestizo. Roger is just pathetic racist
Check out Renato Rascel on google!
He seems Messi’s father!
He was roman actor.
no, he was from North Italy
you’re right, it was from a Roman family (despite being born in Turin), I’m sorry
He looks white period
Messi’s skull and cheekbones are the result of acromegaly from long-term growth hormone treatment. He is fully European, therefore 100% white
i do know about the ‘ the classifications of race’
but there are also whites that have high cheekbones.. and
some Mongoloid traits

the Sami ( or the Lapps) They inhabit the most northern part of Scandinavia, Lappland, which is mostly in the Arctic Circle. Some of them do have a mongoloid appearance.

you are tottally right andno only in north “pure arian withe ” europe also on central and south , check this link

Messi IS WHITE. her grandmom is half lebanese half italian
his father side is full white

Hillary Clinton
Anne Hathaway
Miley Cyrus
Jessica Simpson
Ashlee Simpson

Messi father side family tree!

Christ, you are pathetic…whoever you are. Do you have evidence that his grandmother is “Lebanese”? No. His grandmother, mother and him have a MONGOLOID skull (do some research on the definition of race). Lebanese people have Caucasian skulls. I hate having to repeat myself: Lionel Messi is a pale-Mestizo. Please educate yourself.
In the case of those celebrities, chances are they do have Native American ancestry, but really could not. They just say that to sound ‘exotic’. And if they do have it, then it’s probably minor, like 1%, but still have a Caucasian skull.
so your saying
Hillary Clinton, Anne Hathaway, Miley Cyrus, Jessica Simpson, Ashlee Simpson are mestizo too? wow
http://xdesktopwallpapers.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Ian-Somerhalder-Face-Closeup.jpg
↑ ian somerhalder is 7/8 white just like messi
do you think he look mestizo? do you think people consider him mestizo? huh?
STOP HATING MESSI.
Christ you are really freakng pathetic. LEARN HOW TO READ. I went over that already. Those people may or may not Native American ancestry, but have ir it minor, not dominant. Messi is dominantly Mongoloid. LMAO at that picutre trying wishfully comepare him to a dominantly Caucasoid guy. Messi has the craino-sructure like this (except for the obvious facial features):
http://majorityrights.com/images/uploads/skulls.jpg
Messi is a MESTIZO. Why does it bother you?
I didn’t say Lebanese weren’t “Caucasian”. Please learn to read. A good portionof Lebanese people actually hold the “R1B” Haplogroup. Jews are a different story. Again, please don’t try to question when you yourself don’t have the slightest idea or seem to be dyslexic coming up with ghost comments.

You should get your answer there. Khazars have some Mongol ancestry when they were invaded by the Asianoid armies (Turkics, Huns). Notice I said “distant”. I apologize if you said you can’t read, because it’s very evident.
“Ashkenazi” Jews show mainly Europeans because there was more European admixing in them So of course they’ll show mainly European heritage.
Using that logic, then Mestizos with 70% European heritage are by nature European?
Do you know that Mongoloid were in Europe and that many white Europeans do have Mongoloid ancestry. Buy yourself an Encyclopedia and stop reading Wikipedia. You know you can edit Wikipedia from your computer. During those invasions women were force to have sex and many children were born.Abortion and after morning pill did not exist.They were force to have sex several times.
According to some studies 80% of Americans will fail a test in world history and geography.
messi is 100% white italian!
messi revealed that he himself is italian. his maternal grandparents are from Recanati, italy

And Eva Longoria’s ancestors came from Asturias, a region in Spain. Your point?
His maternal grandmother is not from Italy, she’s from Argentina. Italians maybe olive-skinned, but very tan like his grandmother. For those who haven’t looked, this is as grandmother (at 5:46):

I meant to say *not every tanned like his grandmother.
ava longoria? lol maybe one of her ancestors from spain.but A MESTIZO WITH MOSTLY NATIVE AMERICAN ancestry. messi is full blooded european. that’s the point

Hahaha, OMG. Seriously…you’re trying pull this? Your evidence is just simple pictures? Yeah, because his grandmother is VERY “White”. Especially with his Mongoloid skull, he’s very “White”.
Just stop and accept that he is a pale-Mestizo who despises the sun because it will make him look “non-white”.
Mesii is by no means a full blooded European. A full blooded European. Please study the classifications of race. Messi has a Mongoloid skull, meaning he’s most likely of Native American descent. He has high and wide cheekbones and almond-shaped eyes. Compare him to one of his team mates who have the same skin tone or even darker like Gerard Pique and you will see they look NOTHING alike. He looks nothing alike to any European.
i do know about the ‘ the classifications of race’
but there are also whites that have high cheekbones.. and some Mongoloid traits

Just because there are *some* whites with admixturex that stol doesn’t make Messi white….at all. What a dumb pretext. Messi is not Whites he is a pale-Mestizo.
Seriously, there are some resentful Mestizos out there who wish they were “White”. A good portion of Hispanics from Latin America on this site who are quick to point out their “European heritage” when they’re most likely to be ninety percent mixed. Why do Hispanics hate their Indigenous side?
Those people don’t have a full-mongolid skull like Messi. The other link was dead, but Messi has the craino-structure like this:

Roger,
Just an advice: Just because you copy all you can from the internet does not make you look smart but a little bit crazy.Also most studies coming out from you US are showing that most of white population in US HAVE AMERIDIAN,JEWS, OR/AND BLACK BLOOD IN THEM.This are studies made for cancer research or for mental deseases. 90% of the information of the internet are fake.As a scientist I do not use information from internet and less Wikipedia(anyone can edit that).
Her mother is from Argentina but maybe from Europeans descents. Do you see that we all desagree with you. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt look mestizos to me. Brad Pitt nose was very thick at the end and his lips were different.Look at his photos before he was famus. Obviously he had some work done in the tip of his nose. He admitted he has native american heritage. Angelina Jolie and her eyes and lips are not of a white woman. The only reliable science is DNA testing. That is why what you are trying to explain does not make sense because is just your perception not science. That is the reason we use DNA testing.
Roger,
According to Eva Longoria DNA she is 70% European. White latinos do look white. That mean that they cannot have 90% of native blood in them. You should read the DNA tests that was post in the Adriana Lima. Those tests show that most white in the US do have native american or african ancestry. Or both. They have been published by the US government.Travel to Argentina. They look white. I have been there.
