Where can Iker Casillas fit other than Spain?

[Sikeliot]

Someone said on here he looks only Spanish. But could he fit anywhere else?

I'm putting "No" as an option too.

[EagleAtHeart]

I can see some dinaric... so maybe he can fit in some Balkan countries?

[Slycooper]

Looks hardcore Spanish to me. I voted no where else. But if I had to quess somewhere else. France Italy or Portugal.

[Damião de Góis]

You managed to show 3 pictures that make him look completely different from what he looks like on TV. You seem to have a talent for selecting weird pictures. He looks more like this:

Definition of a Spaniard

[Atlantic Islander]

Goodness he's hot, every feature is perfect.

[Sikeliot]

Goodness he's hot, every feature is perfect.

I agree!

[Dacul]

He does not look very spaniard,anyway,he is not med/atlantid as phenotype.
I also see strong balkanic dinarid in him,maybe after Roman Empire conquest Balkans they also brought people from here to Spain.
He could pass without problems in Balkans.

What am I not allowed to have an opinion?
I am pretty sure he is not dolicocephalic,but brahicephalic.

I see dinaric and alpine there.

I'm Buzzed as fuck right now. But he is clearly an Iberian.

[Atlantic Islander]

Fixed.

[Hayalet]

Explain how he's not pred. Dinaric then.
He isn't Dinaric at all, but a mixture of West Mediterranean and Alpine.

[Illancha]

Hmmm...

[Slycooper]

Casillas imo looks like the definiton of a spaniard. I would have a hard time finding someone who fits the Spanish bill more than that.

[Dacul]

Basque people are not spaniards!
Ok?
What we are telling to the black white just because this is the wrong official politics of Spain?
I saw on this forum this aspect is put under silence,with basques being a different nation from spaniards.
Here about basque language:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basque_language
Their language is not even indo-european and they look clearly different from spaniards.
So baskid is not a spanish phenotype,usual spanish phenotype is either atlantid,either med.

[Atlantic Islander]

I say he's gorgeous and perfect, and suddenly he's not allowed to be Spanish. Spanish men can be perfect.

Baskid influence.

I have baskid influence, that doesn't make me basque. :picard1:

I think you people want him to look like a traditional Spaniard, but to me, I stand by my vote: I would have guessed him as a Serb before a Spaniard.

Basques are just as much of a spaniard then someone from Castilla. Spain is like Italy where it is a unification of many different people. Basques are spaniards. No if buts about it.

[Dengizik]

Sure he can fit other countries. But fits best what he from is.

[Lábaru]

1º Basques from Spain are Spanish and Iberians.

What makes any Spanish from other regions a Spaniard? Nothing. It's a unifcation of Kingdoms. Look at Galicia. They speak a language that is basically Portuguese. Portugal was in fact once part of the Kingdom of Galica known as the County of Portugal. Galicians are however Spaniards now. Even though they share ancestry with the Portuguese as do ALL Native Iberians. Iberians are all brothers.

[Sikeliot]

"Spanish" is a nationality.. and is composed of many ethnicities, like Basques, Asturians, Andalusians etc.

[Dacul]

1º Basques from Spain are Spanish and Iberians.

2º Romania=Roma(gypsy)land.
For point 1:
they are not spaniards,they are basques.


For point 2:
You are wrong,Romania was taken from old name of Byzantine Empire.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byzantine_Empire
"The Byzantine Empire (or Byzantium) was the Roman Empire during Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, centered on the capital of Constantinople. It is also referred to as the Eastern Roman Empire, primarily in the context of Late Antiquity, while the Western Roman Empire was still maintained. Both "Byzantine Empire" and "Eastern Roman Empire" are historiographical terms applied in later centuries. Throughout its existence it was known simply as the Roman Empire (Greek: Βασιλεία Ῥωμαίων, Basileia Rhōmaiōn;[1] Latin: Imperium Romanum) or Romania (Ῥωμανία) as it was the direct continuation of the Roman state and maintained its traditions."
Teh evul balkanics took the Byzantine Empire from romans,becos Constantine the Great which moved the capital of Roman Empire from Rome to Constantinopole was native from current day Balkans.

Last time I checked Basque county was a region of Spain. Therefore they are Spaniards. As I said prior. Spain is NOT a nation state. It is a unification of Kingdoms much like Italy. Is. Someone from the canary islands is Spanish just as much as someone from the mainland of Spain is.

[Atlantic Islander]

The point is that he does look Spanish, and of course he can fit in other countries, but he still looks very Spanish. It's extremely stupid to say he doesn't look Spanish, because of some stereotype you have in your head.

How dare a Spaniard be hot and ideal. LoL.

[EagleAtHeart]

Because you're ignorant.

Au contraire

Look above, Serbia has twice as many votes as Spain

[Dacul]

And the question was where can he fit other than Spain?, it excludes Spain because he's Spanish and looks it. Like I said he can fit in other places, and he still looks Spanish. You just don't like what that implies.

I don't think anyone is saying that Spaniards can't be good looking.

No, you said he doesn't look Spanish -which you probably only said, because I said that he was perfect.

Of course he can fit in other places -you are the one that seems to have a problem with him looking Spanish, but being able to pass in other countries.

[Atlantic Islander]

"Nowhere. Only Spain (or Portugal)"

Wow...just... wow

I can troll too.

He decided to say the guy doesn't look Spanish only after I wrote that the guy was hot and perfect, now I have no problem with him being able to pass in other places, of course he can, that's obvious - the problem is that he said that he doesn't look Spanish. He obviously has some ridiculous stereotype in his head, or has a problem with a Spanish looking Spaniard being perfect. :D

I said in the first post I thought he was Dinaric and voted Serbian because i thought he looked more of a Balkanite than Spaniard... long before you entered this thread.

Did you take your meds today?

[Sikeliot]

If he could fit anywhere other than Spain it's Britain and France IMO.. he looks like Orlando Bloom a little bit. I don't see him as Serbian looking.

[EagleAtHeart]

LOL I guess we all have to stop posting in this case because plastictuga will see any of our posts retroactively as slandering her

I can't see England. But he looks like a Serbian guy I know. He also kind of resembles a young Nikola Tesla in some pictures (eyes, nose, etc.). I also see some Dinaric... NOT baskid

Even hotter in motion, thanks for the video.

[Rouxinol]

He is pred. Alpinid (Alpinids also have a somewhat less rounded occipital bone, yet less than Dinarids). There's also some Cro-Magnid elements that are not so alpinized, visible in the "squarish" skull and deep-set eyes/strong brow-ridges. So, Alpino-Cro-Magnoid would fit the bill.

[Dacul]

I do not feel like arguing with fanatics,as Plastiuga is on this matter.

[Lábaru]

Iker Casillas is clearly a Western European with strong Iberian features, He can fit it in France as a southern type, even secondarily in Italy, rare but possible in Britain but the Balkans? are at the end of this list.

[Slycooper]

I cannot see Casillas in the Balkans. Seriousley? The Balkans?

[Atlantic Islander]

I do not feel like arguing with fanatics,as Plastiuga is on this matter.

:wink

[Sikeliot]

I'd only be able to see him as;

Iberian
French
British
Irish
Northern Italian

That's it. Especially the first three.

[Slycooper]

For me. Iberia, France and Italy.

[Sikeliot]

Not all of Italy and not all of France. He wouldn't fit well in southern Italy or the parts of France that are directly adjacent to Germany.

[Atlantic Islander]

He could probably fit most places in which (dark) Alpine-CM types are common, as I agree with Labradors classification.

[Slycooper]

Southern France. More Northern Italy to be specific. With those countries I usually don't distinguish.

[Sikeliot]

Southern France. More Northern Italy to be specific. With those countries I usually don't distinguish.

I don't, due to the phenotypical diversity in both. If someone can't fit in a whole country, I will specify.

[Slycooper]

If I met Casillas and I didn't know who he was I would ask Spanish. Then if not that proceed with French Portuguese and Italian.

[Sikeliot]

Online I'd say Spanish.

In person I'd think French, since we have no Spaniards here. If not French, then I'd guess a dark Brit. I wouldn't think Italian, since there are no northerners here and he doesn't look like a southerner.

[Slycooper]

Seriousley though to me he looks like a hardcore spaniard.

[Lábaru]

The pseudo racial classifications with often do not take into consideration the typical appearance of a people/etnia.

An AtlantoMed from Russia is very possible that his face look less Spanish than and alpine-dinarid from Iberia.

[Sikeliot]

I think he looks kind of like Orlando Bloom.

[Slycooper]

I think he looks kind of like Orlando Bloom.

Is Orlando bloom French?

Actually he does remind me of someone, but I can't remember who.

[Sikeliot]

You think everyone looks like Orlando Bloom.

And they always do.

[Sikeliot]

I think if you don't see it, you're biased by knowing he is Spanish. If you didn't know that, I doubt you'd give the answer you gave.

I think it's best to classify people by pretending you don't know their ethnicity. I try to do that, most of the time. I think no matter who it is, if they are Iberian, you naturally say they look French and Italian even if the particular individual doesn't. So next time I'll post someone without telling you what they are and see if you still say that.

[Atlantic Islander]

He certainly looks Spanish first and foremost.

I post people like that all the time, but many are biased and don't want to classify without knowing where the person is from. I posted a Portuguese girl that was classified as Gorid, now that's not a typical type where she's from, but it doesn't mean that the type can't exist. If I had said she was Portuguese beforehand, I'm sure the classifications would have been different (biased).

[Slycooper]

I agree.

[Sikeliot]

He can pass as a white Mexican, but the percent of white Mexicans is in the single digits isn't it?

[PeacefulCaribbeanDutch]

to me he looks classic spaniard facially

I think at least 10% of mexico is white actually

of course they have mediteranean features, but their are italian mexicans and you wouldn't really notice them from a light skin mexican

[PeacefulCaribbeanDutch]

Back on Topic, Ike Casillas looks classic spanish to me, and maybe southern french

[Lábaru]

Look, even being different racial classifications, and removing the one of the right side ( is half Asian), I think that can be considered Iberian familiar faces, especially the first three on the left(Alonso and Hernandez are a bit extreme.)
http://rojamania.com/img/espa%C3%B1anuevacamiseta2012.jpg

[aherne]

Casillas looks typical Iberian (which automatically means typical Basque, since Basques preserve Iberian phenotype the best IMHO). This means he is typical on both sides of Atlantic, as long as Iberian isn't mixed with Amerindian/Negroid.

[Dengizik]

Look, even being different racial classifications, and removing the two of the right side (one is half Asian), I think that can be considered Iberian familiar faces, especially the first three on the left.

Yes, well, 1/4 or 1/2 Asian.



I've learned that thing now. Thanks for the info. Actually his looking was always wondering me.

[wvwvw]

In my opinion Iker Casillas and Fernando Torres look very typical Spaniards. Regarding Fernando Torres I disagree that he looks British, he looks very Spanish in my eyes. I wouldn't confuse him for anything else.

[Midori]

I think you people want him to look like a traditional Spaniard, but to me, I stand by my vote: I would have guessed him as a Serb before a Spaniard.

That's because you're clueless. He doesn't look Serbian or any kind of South Slavic at all.


Maybe as a white mexican. But he is not what comes to mind when I think of a Mexican.

Nah.. check some galleries on anthroforums, you'd be surprised.

[memobekes]

The Basques are quite an isolated group. If you look at their appearance, you can sometimes see Dinarid influence, they seem to be a bridge between the Castillians and French.

I would guess Spain, Portugal, Italy, and likely even Serbia before french.

I wasn't attempting to lecture you, of course you are better acquainted with them than me. They were merely my own observations of the Basques and i believe they are pretty much in full agreement with most members' opinions on this board. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

[Toretto]

Casillas hardcore spanish...

[EagleAtHeart]

LOL @ this thread.

Every Spaniard is in here furiously insulting/bashing anyone that says he resembles anything other than Spanish

In fact, if you look at the results... he has a very pan-European look

He's one of the few Spaniards posted here that does not look like this:
http://arlombardi.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/xavi_2476280.jpg

So, you're all trying to put him forth as the prototypical Spaniard hahah

[EagleAtHeart]

BTW

Serbia - 7 votes

Nowhere. Only Spain (or Portugal) - 4

Even people that live in the Balkans said in this thread he wouldn't be a-typical

hahaha

[Damião de Góis]

I'm not spanish, but there is a big difference between us: we are posting from two different sides of the atlantic. And one of us has a better knowledge of spaniards i would say.

[Sikeliot]

EagleAtHeart .. he looks more Spanish than the guy you just posted, in my opinion.

[gold_fenix]

too balkan people in the forum said that alex delarge or myself we looked from Balkans, when myself i am average Spaniard

I'm not too familiar with the looks of the Balkans so I can't comment on that, I am sure he can pass there though.

Don't worry, apparently Iker Casillas looks Bulgarian, you look Austrian and I look Iranian. The only person in Spain that looks Spanish is Xavi Hernandez. (or Antonio Banderas in Robert Rodriguez's Films but NOT on his Spanish films of course)

You are wrong Aherne, a classic Basque looks on a different way, always speaking of Iberian phenotype, I can show real examples if you are interested.
Basques ARE Iberians (some even speak the old language). I am aware that due to inbreeding in last 2000 years they have acquired certain features that make them unique. Most Basques, however, have sterotypical Iberian features and in absence of a Basque surname can NEVER be distinguished from their brethren who became latinate. Spaniards, Basques and natives of Gascony are racially speaking one group, clearly remnants of one ethnic group who happened to become linguistically divided later on...

Casillas looks typical Iberian (which automatically means typical Basque, since Basques preserve Iberian phenotype the best IMHO). This means he is typical on both sides of Atlantic, as long as Iberian isn't mixed with Amerindian/Negroid.

Of course are Iberians but you're wrong arguing that are the purest Iberian features, in fact among the Basques there are a few features that are markedly Basque and absent in other Iberian peoples except perhaps in some Cantabrians, example:

therefore it is wrong to argue that the rest of Iberian peoples are "Basque" with foreign contributions, because in that case would be the contrary, the Basques would not have some special types like the pic.

The rest I agree, the Basques are genetically very isolated people.

It is funny to see how people who are not spanish tells us who has spanish appearance and who do not :D

[tEhSaint]

How come Sweden is missing from the poll, huh.

I may not be spanish, but I have seen my share, my dad has lots of spanish genes so when I say spanish older men they usually remind me of my dad people like the dos X guy or this guy reminds me of my dad

Louis Ferreira is portuguese, but he looks like my dads family

[Querubín]

I don't know if some members are blind or are OtTROLLmans

[PeacefulCaribbeanDutch]

so you don't think he looks spanish? he looks clearly spanish to me

Since Keltic invasions ending by early first milennia BC there has been little external admixture. Whatever variation found today either developed in situ, due to isolation, or reflects pre-Roman ethnic distribution. In light of this, Basques are neither the purest nor the most mixed Iberians, only those who clinged to the old language that got superseded by Latin everywhere else.

Great actor, from Azores.

He can pass as a white Mexican, but the percent of white Mexicans is in the single digits isn't it?

Unmixed ones probably are in the single digits, but if we count those with admixture that still look relatively pure, the percentage rises more or less to the mid teens.

I'd guess at most ~20% of Mexicans can pass as European.

Also, I've noticed their Amerindian ancestry is often higher than what they look. I can think of many members on ABF who were Mexican whose Amerindian ancestry I predicted lower than it turned out to be.

[Awebo]

^ Agreed.

[WOOHP]

I think it's best to classify people by pretending you don't know their ethnicity. I try to do that, most of the time. I think no matter who it is, if they are Iberian, you naturally say they look French and Italian even if the particular individual doesn't. So next time I'll post someone without telling you what they are and see if you still say that.

Yes this is true sadly enough, and guess what? You're part of this problem.
Spaniards have their own look and their own dominant phenotypes, same thing with French and British people. Not hard to deal with, as these three population are just like any other three in Europe.

Casillias: He looks distinctively Spanish and could only pass as Portuguese. Dark french types don't look like him, his facial features scream Iberian and therefore he's quite atypical outside. And British? Like how? Even the few really dark ones like Orlando Bloom don't look very typical for Iberia.

[Ianus]

Looks very Iberian to me.

[alnortedelsur]

Lol, I was born in Europe.

No, you said he doesn't look Spanish -which you probably only said, because I said that he was perfect.

Of course he can fit in other places -you are the one that seems to have a problem with him looking Spanish, but being able to pass in other countries.

What happens is that he is an IDIOT who thinks that Casillas is "too light" to be Spaniard, and thinks that Basques are "too light" to be Spaniards. He is unable to understand that there are MILLIONS of Spaniards as light as Casillas, who could pass in many places in Europe, neither he knows that Basques are very closely related genetically with the rest of Iberians, and they are NOT a "different race" from us.

[alnortedelsur]

LOL @ this thread.

Every Spaniard is in here furiously insulting/bashing anyone that says he resembles anything other than Spanish

In fact, if you look at the results... he has a very pan-European look

He's one of the few Spaniards posted here that does not look like this:
http://arlombardi.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/xavi_2476280.jpg

So, you're all trying to put him forth as the prototypical Spaniard hahah

Here we go!!

As I told to Atlantic Islander, I knew that all your problem, is that you cannot admit that many Spaniards can be as light as Casillas, and be able to pass in many places in Europe. Your problem is that Casillas doesn't fit with the "stereotypical Spaniard" that you have in mind.

IGNORANT!!

You are replying to a banned user. He posted from Canada anyway, despite his "european" profile. So he was barking from far away.

[alnortedelsur]

BTW

Serbia - 7 votes

Nowhere. Only Spain (or Portugal) - 4

Even people that live in the Balkans said in this thread he wouldn't be a-typical

hahaha

Many times polls, instead of reflecting the true, they only reflect how IGNORANT and biased are many people, being you a typical example.
