regardless of his hair color, I seriously doubt Alexander the great looked like a typical NW European............LOL!

Alexander was blonde.

It is reported also that Demetrius Poliorcetes contended in Beauty.

I agree that Southern populations should be portrayed by ethnic Southerners. This is usually due to the lack of available good actors though. I mean....would some of these Ancient Greek shows have been as great if they just chose any actor for the roles just based on their look?

I see no issue with Brits portraying Scandinavians though.

not sure about the way they look but if you have ever seen "True Blood" on HBO, just know that is not how people from Southern Louisiana (the Cajun part) hardly sound at all.

They have an accent that is almost like a Southern, colonial version of a New Jersey accent or something at times and dont speak like many people from the rest of the Southern U.S.
Many people from southern Louisiana criticize how the accent on the show sounds.

btw, True Blood is one of my favorite shows ever! OMG Sookie, fucking marry me!

OT, but if you like True Blood, you might really enjoy HBO's Six Feet Under....a series created by the same guy, Alan Ball. It is probably my favorite series of all time :)

You'd have to get it on DVD I think....series ran from 2000-2005.

In answer to the OP.....
Most of the old Cowboy/Indian films cast white dudes or women as the Indians. Not cool lol

Weedman

01-05-2014, 06:30 AM

they are not allied and these are usually for economic reasons as they use these connections for drugs, money laundering, gun running etc.... Alliances do not last long and they change like temperature. Latin king members were known to work with white supremacist gangs in different areas of the country. The Aryan brotherhood deals mostly with the Italian mob and other mob groups as hit men. Gangs only survive because they run drug trafficking in prisons and outside of prisons and need to establish economic ties with other groups. They change over time. They are all for themselves in the end.

just because there are mexican-american gangs fighting against black-american gangs in Los Angeles doesnt mean its that way all over california let alone all over America LOL

Mexican Mafia only has power in prison, Surenos do not have much power, there are more street gangs than just surenos hahaha

How come Australians and early WASP Americans did? Canadians are more laid back. But I can remember that in early America Catholics especially southern europeans were seen as bottom of the barrel europeans. What is very odd is the french were the only catholic people to never be hated in the US.....I think alot of it has to do with traditional Americans liking the French for the war of independence when they helped us out. The French have been documented in new england [settling] since the 1600s..... so it is rather odd they were the only catholics to be spared any hatred or attacks from nativist groups or the klan.

Anyway I thought I would share that. Also the Italians and Irish here hate each other....alot....and I say again more so than the Wog hate you see in general here.
I have heard stories of Irish and German catholics beating up Italians and Jews and yet you see plenty of Irish-Italian mixes in the USA.

everyone bet up the jews even the italians....no one liked them until recently with political correctness. But Germans here largely lived in rural communities where as italians, poles [who were usually always neutral] and irish flocked to the cities to find work in factories. They were generally encouraged to as they were at one time the lower classes here. Germans were considered higher than all three of these groups.

I don't think there's any reason to believe that to be so...at least not to any statistical significance. Unless natural selection just started favoring dark types or something. But i've seen enough ancient Greek art that shows their complete dark haired predominance.

Bloodnigger

Greeks were fairer overall back then.

It's the opposite due to slavic migration into northern greece. Aristotle put them between the white persians and the ethiopians so at least classical greeks (ie below thessaly) should've been darker overall.

As for Achilles, he should have bright red hair, since that is how he is described, not blond.

Jews were largely hellenized and many came to greece in alexander's time. And again in roman times and even more so in ottoman times. In byzantine times you could purchase venetian citizenship which through a treaty they had made meant that anyone who did so was exempt from most taxes. That being the case jews flocked to the area like crazy.

So when you see hilarious statements like greeks got LIGHTER in recent times and actually know something of history the ridiculousness is just overwhelming.

The problem is that Anglos are closer to Romans than Italians well atleast the rulling Patrician class. I can't imagine Romans being portrayed by Italians.

"Anglos" are mutt spawns of Germans (Angles, Saxons), Celts, Italics (Romans), Normans, Danish vikings and thats not even including the more recent aquired ancestries. Highly doubt they're representitive. Besides people in the mediterranea would have never been as pale as your typical Brit.

As for American films I think a lot of us just stereotype the ancestries of the actors based on how they look which can betray us at times. Spartacus had a lot of actual Italian decent actors in it. In most cases the actors are usually mutts not all Anglo there's even some Slavics thrown in the mix. Usually when there is an Anglo/Celto lead they airbrush them so much that they can be mistaken for southern european more than Northern as Gerard could in 300.

Romans did not leave a single genetic trace in the British Islands. Do not believe me look it up. Not one genetic study found as much as one percent of roman DNA in the British Islands.

He is an idiot. The only reason longbowman is British is because his ancestry is British...mostly. Even his Anglo-American dad had colonial English ancestry. So Valhallan is smoking that purple haze or something. Not just anyone born in England is automatically english...the UK is not America in the sense anyone born there is automatically apart of that ethnic group. Well American the ethnicity is entirely artificial and no one here really views themselves as americans...like blacks for example...there is zero comradery between me a black person, a latino or a native american. Why would all of these ethnic groups protest left and right if they considered themselves the same people as us [as in white people in general]?

Valhallan does not see it that way. Thats the way it is on the east cost...not to mention we have our own regional heritage which is more important to us than 'America' as a whole. America is a wog name either way so I dislike associating it with myself.

Whitout a doubt the British/Irish have their own unique look due to isalation (and other reasosn) it's not like Anglo-Saxons and Normans were of completly different race than the British. I see many Wogs on Anthrofroums try to make British darker then they really are.

Christopher lee has Italian ancestry. British have not changed much sinc ethe neolithic only slightly. Same cannot be said about the population of Greece wich has completly changed multiple times.

The British did change significantly in the early middle ages with the Germanic incursions..which has significantly dwindled since then. The original "English" wouldn't have looked anything like Ozzi Ssbourne or John Lennon.

Your personal and bigoted feelings on the matter does not change what the British government thinks no matter how hard you wish it to. Longbowman will tell you the same thing just like he told me.

British is a nationality. This isn't the 1500s its time you understand were in 2014.

lol

You demonstrate your "upper class" superiority daily. Eh didn't you mention your relative marrying a latino. Wog? I gurantee I look more germanic than your multiethnic self. Every single person on this forum has guessed English/Swedish. Why is it always the mutts who are the most hardcore nordic wannabe?

Hollywood's sole purpose is to keep on pumping out film after film and pulling in profit. Half of the junk it puts out is not to be taken seriously furthermore "Hollywood" is not responsible for something a deluded writer dreamnt up.

Sure you do you get so personal in virtually all your arguements. Stacey being the most recent.

Angry angst types hahahah I am only angry retards like you are allowed to tell the world what is American and what is not....

Except many of those who thumbed up were people who openly insulted gays and blacks. Go preach to our government what "you" think being an American is we'll see how far you get.

Now stop giving me bullshit answers, Plastic Injun.[/QUOTE][/QUOTE]

I dont care if the modern European system claims anyone born anywhere in Europe is a European.....that isnt true and only an idiot would accept what these sell out Judo-American governments tell them. Traditionally [yes I love the word and meaning] someone born in England is not English unless they were descended from English parents. The same with Germany and many other countries. Today an African can get on a boat and arrive pregnant in Italy and give birth and bam that baby is a pure blood Italian, or Pole or where ever they go and the child is born.

Genetically the British are closer to the Dutch/Belgians than any other group..other than the Irish. The Irish were more isolated than the Brits and less influenced other than the Vikings.

Not a big expert on british genetics, but that would make sense for england. I've been reading a book about the SAS though and at the pictures more than 90% of them don't look germanic at all, more like something along the lines of Christopher Lee or Sean Connery. Certainly very atypical faces in northern europe, would fit in southern germany/austria and even southern europe though.

Thats because the majority of people in the SAS are actually Scottish which does not say much for England..... I read this statistic somewhere...and judging from the surnames I would believe it.

But you don't actually know this yourself do you? You're merely parroting what you've heard from other members. On the contrary i've heard different conflicting tales by British members themselves. Ah the days when Pretan & Albion were arguing over celtic portions vs nordic god portions. Why did Albion have to go :(

Not one of the members of the beattles looks nordic to me....they look like a mongrel bunch because most of the members are. I hate that band anyway.....but there are pure english types and believe me they look closer to other western germanics than to lets say irish people or welsh.

Jim Crow is actually correct here, for the most part.

First off start with an English guy who isn't Irish! There's tons of people who look strikingly Saxon in England. Most have mixed with the more nordic Anglic types to make 'anglo saxon'.

Black casts for slavery movies, 12 years a slave, Roots, they’re so light & mixed compared to what would have been the historical reality. Producers can fix this by using pure black casts, but such a topic would probably be considered politically incorrect now.

Actually now I notice that most historical media don’t get the appearances of the people historically accurate, including Bollywood & Southeast Asian historical movies, the casts tend to be too light compared to what would have been historically accurate. I’m a history buff, so tend to notice these small details more here.

Naveen Andrews as Sayid Jarrah in Lost. They managed to find the most Indian looking guy to portray an Iraqi. Looks ridiculous in the scenes where he's around actual Arabs.

I loved this show! IMHO the first 3 seasons were as good as TV series can get. I pity those who missed it. It was a phenomenon. I don't remember another show aired in Poland that would spark so many spontaneous discussions between people in daily life.

As far as Sayid's character goes I was not bothered by the casting as a kid watching the show originally, lol. And still Iraqi's can overlap with some more Caucasoid looking Indians better than Saudi Arabs for sure.

It depends on if Aguirre was a light/blondish Spaniard. I don't know if he was, and would have to check into it, and if he wasn't, then it wasn't a good role play representation, but not because Spaniards like that are uncommon, lol

PS: not saying they are super common or typical, but they aren't uncommon either, if that's what you imply.

I don't know if was mentioned before, but Leon S. Kennedy from Resident Evil game franchise and that new terrible movie Welcome to Raccoon City. I mean, why an Indian actor, seriously???? With a name like Leon Scott Kennedy? Hilariously bad choice.
Like what the hell???

Estonian actor, Johann Urb, who played Leon Kennedy in some movie, used to live in Finland. I once saw him in a wedding when I was kid.
