Blagojevich's parents were both ethnic Serbs from Yugoslavia. Yet I pick up something similar to Mexicans in his taxonomy. Not an Indian or Mestizo but a "White Mexican", someone who is majority European with maybe 25% or less Indian. Or similar to a Anglo-Mexican (Mestizo Mexican) mix you sometimes see in the Southwest.

Well, the man has nice hair.

Personally I have more animosity towards Serbs than any other.
They are pain in the ass, don’t know when to shut their mouths, can’t trust them and so on. But I guess they are White.

Well I wasn't questioning whether Serbs are Caucasian or not. But Blagojevich wouldn't look out-of-place among Mexico's economic & political elite, who generally have some Amerindian/Mongolid admixture. And he does have nice hair, especially for a 52-year old male.

I've been wondering about him myself. He's an odd looking bird for sure. I don't think I've seen anyone in a long time with eyes that are quite that close together.

Albanians generally do have close set eyes. The man looks more typically Albanian than Serb. With a very nice hair

I am not entirely sure what his ethinicty is. All I know is he was a horrible Govener of the state of IL.

What is so unussual in him? He is reduced CM, Baltid or Alpinid in my opinion. And about his "nice hair":D It could be dyed right?;)

I'm going to go out on a limb here - I think he's Dinarid-Alpine and possibly something else, but I'm not sure what.

An excellent example of what Coon called the Ladogan type.

Where's Hors on this one? :cool:

Instead of trying to sell Obama's senate seat, he should have traded it for a decent haircut. :rolleyes2:

And for what it's worth, he looks white to me.

Do you mean that he looks like him:

Well I don't think so...

Well, somewhat similar to this fellow but less extreme--Blagojevich strikes me as 'Ladogan' nonetheless: broad, flattish face, narrow interorbital distance, great distance between the bottom of the nose and the top of the upper lip (the most diagnositc trait of the eastern Europid types in my opinion), round & globular head.

I guess I could have been more gentle and called him East Baltid as I know that 'Ladogan' is a touchy word amongst some. ;)

A person need not be a textbook example of a type to still meet certain criteria and fall into a particular category.
