andrew I have a question,
By Offer having a Germanic phenotype, are you referring to the fact he has the same phenotype as Avicii that is common in Northern/Central Europe? Upturned nose, prominent jaw, wider eyes rather than round. Your feedback would be appreciated.
@l!ttletimmy
Thanks for asking my opinion. Yes, you already explained it in your comment. He has typical Cro-Magnoid features that are mostly found in Germanic countries, and is also tall.
I think he looks Austrian. Would you agree andrew?
Maybe his ancestors mixed over time…
Sorry that’s been grinding my gears for a while now. It’s geneticists who believe Ashkenazi Jews are a mix of “Levantine men and Greco-Italian women” for the most part. So suddenly when Jews identify with that heritage, it pisses off certain people so much they’re itching to give their eugenicist takes. Give me a break.
Has it come to andrew’s attention that a lot of Ashkenazi Jews identified as German before Germans murdered 6 million of them? The reason a lot of Ashkenazi Jews don’t identify as German or Polish even if they resemble such people is because of christian Europeans tendency to blood libel Jews and murder them in pogroms. And for the record, Ashkenazi Jews are genetically Eastern Mediterranean, they wouldn’t cluster close to Greek islanders and South Italians if that weren’t the case.
“But they have Germanic facial features” isn’t a great argument. Scarlet Johanson is as closely related to Shel Silverstein as Jeff Goldblum is. Most European Jews are genetically cousins.
Johansson is also Scandinavian
