Should we add more classifications to our glossary? Are there now relatively stabilised "new" American and Australian phenotypes?

White Americans often have a distinctive look. Something similar to Tom Brady;

Perhaps representing a blend of a British and German (and a small amount of Native American) so prominent in the heritage of most White Americans?

I've noticed a few distinct Australian archetypal phenotypes, two of which I would describe as the "Heath Ledger" and "Bradley Wiggins'" (who has an British cyclist with and Australian father but looks stereotypical "Aussie").

Wiggins to me looks thoroughly British.
This look I would say is hard to find outside Oz.

I notice a lot of Australians have a distinctive English look whereas few if any Americans do. Obviously this is due to the fact that English made up a much higher precent of the immigrants to Australia where as America is much more mixed they had larger amounts of people from other parts of Britain and also many from Germanic countries.

I'm not sure if there are stabilized American, and Australian types, but the Classic American type is a Keltic Nordid in the old 13 Colonies, and in the modern Northeast, and Southeast. In the Midwest more of a Gemanic Dalofaelid, or Skandonordid type. In my state the majority of people are descended from either Germans, or British, and often a mix of both. Native American blood is not so common, and when it's present, it's usually not enough to be racially influencial.
