Rowan Atkinson looks British in my opinion.

Rowan Atkinson looks British in my opinion.

I can see the British in him, but only a small minority of Brits have his colouring.

[YeshAtid]

Soto isn't atypical :picard1:

[Tooting Carmen]

Soto isn't atypical for the fantasy world of the media.

Fixed.

[YeshAtid]

Fixed.
He's fully Spanish.

[Tooting Carmen]

He's fully Spanish.

(1) Whites in Mexico are a minority. (2) Precisely because said Whites are mainly of Spanish descent, they'd still overwhelmingly have dark hair and dark eyes.

[Vojnik]

I know a half Anglo Aussie half Maltese guy who looks like Rowan Atkinson.

Hrithik Roshan

Yes, but it is a rather light brown, NOT the very dark brown that the majority of Spaniards and White Mexicans have.

[Amud]

Rowan Atkinson looks like he's influenced by the Dinaric type brought in by the Bell Beaker culture. Not typical, but not too rare either.

Roshan looks like a typical Indian in terms of his features, he is just much lighter than average, which is probably not common.

Soto would be atypical even for Spain, let alone Mexico. He looks mostly Nordic.

[YeshAtid]

Are you seriously insinuating that he's discernible from other Spaniards ?

So between Atkinson and Roshan, who would you vote for?

[Amud]

What the hell is your agenda? Why would someone of your ancestry post politically-motivated things about the Spanish, pretending they are more Nordic than they are?

I voted for Atkinson, but I was kind of torn, just because I haven't seen enough people from either of these ethicities to really know what a typical look is.

[Tooting Carmen]

To repeat: I am saying he is decidedly atypical for his nationality, which in fact is MEXICAN. Furthermore, while there are some Spaniards (along with their Latin American descendants) who have his colouring, they are a minority by far.

[Smeagol]

the very dark brown that the majority of Spaniards and White Mexicans have.

Almost black? Source?

[Tooting Carmen]

Almost black? Source?

Not black per se, but dark brown. Pretty much every anthropologist - notably Coon, has said that the overwhelming majority of Spaniards have such a hair colour. I am also talking of real life experience, having met so many Spaniards over the years, I'd say that the percentage of adult Spanish men who have hair that is NOT dark brown or black is around 15-20%. But the point about Gabriel Soto is that not only are Whites a minority in Mexico anyway, but most of them would still have darker features than him.

[YeshAtid]

He's Coon's successor, duh!

[Dynamo]

Gabriel Soto.

His not that dark. He seems quite pale in the pictures you posted.

He does look darker and weirder in other photos though.

[Persian Otomi]

I've seen many mexicans in Mexico City who look like Gabriel Soto, in many neighborhoods there he would be typical while in others atypical. There is a difference between being white in Mexico and looking white, people who look white are not such a small minority but mexicans who are 100 percent white are, there is a difference.

[Roy]

They look similar to some other people of their respective ethnicticies. I voted for Rowan Atkinson as for the least atypical here, but I know that none of them represents anything close to some average.

[Sikeliot]

I misvoted. I thought it said most atypical.

[Persian Otomi]

Like I said, most White Mexicans, being of Spanish descent, would still have darker features than him.

You don't know anything, white mexicans from Mexico City look no different from him. Dude, my family in Mexico City are from the middle upper class, I have been around white mexicans when I travel to Mexico.

As an Administrator, are you able to alter your own vote, out of curiosity?

Considering that most Spaniards have dark brown hair and brown eyes - and he is of full Spanish descent, moreover - it is extremely unlikely that most White Mexicans have blue eyes and blonde or light brown hair.

Most Spaniards have brown hair but in the Northern region it is even lighter. Gabriel Soto is not fully Spaniard, where did you get that from? White mexicans from Mexico City look no different from him, dude.

Btw, even in Northern Spain most people have dark brown hair, just not such a high proportion as further South. THIS is a typical Spaniard - of course he looks fully European, but his features are rather darker than those of Soto.

Who knows who else misvoted :P

Nowhere in there does it say he is fully Spaniard dude, I doubt his European heritage is only Spanish, he must have French down the line.

My grandparents have been to Spain and from the pictures I saw that they took, Gabriel Soto would fit there perfectly

So have I been to Spain (and lived there for a year too). I'm not saying that there aren't Spaniards who look like Gabriel Soto, but they are FAR outnumbered by people who look like Iker Casillas or even darker people still, and it is ridiculous to claim otherwise. Spain is not Sweden or even England. Besides, the point is that Soto is of Mexican nationality, not Spanish nationality.

Yes Gabriel Soto is mexican and mexican is a nationality, a new world country filled with mix race people, so why compare it to them? to me it makea no sense at all

You said it yourself, Mexico is a mixed-race country (aka mostly Mestizos). In addition, Soto is lighter-than-average even for his European ancestry, let alone for Mexico itself.

So you are also going to tell me native americans are atypical for Mexico because they are more amerindian and darker than the average? :picard1:

There are still more people in Mexico who look fully or almost-fully Amerindian than who look like Gabriel Soto, so no.

[Persian Otomi]

That shouldn't matter, there are more people who look Caucasoid than pure Amerindian, so now we will claim mexicans who look pure Amerindian as atypical

'Caucasoid' is a broad term though. It can encompass Middle Easterners, North Africans, light South Asians and swarthy Mediterranean Europeans, all of whom would be darker than Gabriel Soto. Anyway, I'd much appreciate it if you could stop trolling my thread thanks.

By claiming that a reasonable percentage of Mexicans would look like Soto, when in reality people who have hair and eyes as light as him are a minority even among White Mexicans, who are themselves a minority of the overall Mexican population. Is that so hard to understand?
