[alfieb]

Neither. She's very Portuguese looking.

[Gaita]

Oh, hands down, Sicily.

[Gaita]

Neither. She's very Portuguese looking.

Yeah no doubt about it, but, if there was only the choice between British and Sicilian, I'm going Sicilian.

[RussiaPrussia]

well it must be Sicily if shes south european

[Pontios]

Sicily. :lol:

[liamliam]

Definetly Sicily:

though above all she looks very Spanish/Portuguese to me. I would guess her to be western Mediterranean.

[alfieb]

Does not look Sicilian whatsoever.

[liamliam]

Does not look Sicilian whatsoever.

She looks probably more Sicilian than British though.

[Bobby Six Killer]

The first time i saw her i thought she was from India. Still she is beautiful

[liamliam]

I also thought that too! She looks like she could be part Indian or something.

[alfieb]

Right, because it's a dumb thread.

"DOES THE POPE LOOK MORE GREEK OR ZIMBABWEAN?"

"Well, he's very German-looking. Uh, he doesn't look either, but I guess being that he's white, Greek."

There's virtually no overlap between her phenotype with either Sicily or the UK.

I saw her in this vid, i don't know they name of the song tho.

It's the second time you spam the forum with very weird light pictures of her, such as several screenshots of the "I'm like a bird" video. I don't know what you are trying to prove.

[Sikeliot]

She doesn't look Sicilian to me.. she's straight up Atlantid. I also don't see how people think she is Indian..

[Lucinho]

Paint my face in your magazines
Make it look whiter than it seems
Paint me over with your dreams
Shove away my ethnicity
Burn every notion that I may have a flame inside to fight
And say just what is on my mind
Without offending your might


This is Powerless, a song written by Nelly Furtado. It seems she does not identify herself as White. When she started singing in Spanish, she came out claiming she was Latina and even Hispanic...

[Mark]

Nelly is straight-up Atlanto-Med (yes, even with the light eyes) + some residual CM.
Her best fit is Portugal.

[Arcadefire]

lol wtf is this shit? Ive seen her in person. People in Toronto, Vancouver would not confuse her for anything else other than Portuguese. Btw, would be surprised how much those pictures are photoshopped compared to how she really looks.

[Arcadefire]

I feel like certain people want to make it seen like there is a pan southern Euro phenotype. Having actually grown up around Portuguese and Italian kids, I personally can tell the difference. The 2 do not like being compared to one another either.

[Mark]

Maybe so, but she still looks good in person.

[Arcadefire]

Maybe so, but she still looks good in person.

wasnt Denying that btw. Check out her first video (before she became a world renowned artist) and compare it the her most recent photoshoots. You can tell the difference.

Yeah, I know but I am more 'forgiving' when it comes to Iberian women. ;)

[mikeyup]

neither, imo

[alnortedelsur]

Neither. She's very Portuguese looking.


She is a very exotic and atypical ethnic Iberian, and also, she is darker than average, and belongs to the darkest segment of the Iberian phenotypic spectrum.

Her look, is NOT the average Portuguese/Iberian look.

[armenianbodyhair]

She is portuguese and fits in Portugal. The FUCKING end.

[alnortedelsur]

Definetly Sicily:

though above all she looks very Spanish/Portuguese to me. I would guess her to be western Mediterranean.

Again, she is too dark and too exotic for Iberian standards. Not saying that she is not an ethnic Iberian, but she is NOT a typical ethnic Iberian. Most ethnic Iberians have a lighter complexion and a less exotic look, for European standards.

[alnortedelsur]

I also thought that too! She looks like she could be part Indian or something.

Yes, she doesn't even look fully ethnic Iberian. Most ethnic Portuguese people do NOT look like that. She looks more gypsy than ethnic Iberian, so I am not sure if she is actually gypsy or partially gypsy, because her look is too exotic and atypical for passing as a genuine ethnic Iberian/Portuguese.

[SardiniaAtlantis]

Because she tans loads. Thats the only reason.. her features are indeed portuguese.

[alnortedelsur]

Could be. Maybe I am wrong with her. I have seen her many times by the media, and she didn't look that dark and exotic, as in the pics posted on this thread.

The case is that she looks too dark and atypical for Iberian standards, at least in the pics posted in this thread, where she looks more gypsy or indian than to a typical ethnic Iberian.

But as I said, that's how she looks in those pics, but probably her actual look is not that exotic.

However, I still maintain that even in other appearances, where she doesn't look that exotic, as in this thread, she is still darker than average, for Iberian standards.

I agree with you.She does look a bit Asian sometimes.But I don't agree she looks very Portuguese.
Not being racist.But the shape of her eyes are not common here.Green Is.
And all the crap they use in this videos don't "Help".
Most of the times,this People look completely different "au naturel".

Always loved that picture of her. :thumb001:

[Smaug]

She looks more like a dark Brit than like a Sicilian. She is not swarthy and woggish enough to be Siciian.

[Antimage]

well it must be Sicily if shes south european

that doesn't make sense at all. There are many many people from iberia(especially the northern part) who pass in britain a lot easier than in sicily

in this photo she looks like a black irishhttp://www.aceshowbiz.com/images/wennpic/nelly-furtado-canada-walk-of-fame-02.jpg



if not the tan she has on some photos she wouldn't be exotic at all in western europe. Seems like some people think having a tan changes your race or something

[Smaug]

She is on the same range as Jennifer Connelly and Courtney Cox.

[Peyrol]

Iberians aren't like british, stop with this mantra.

[Vasconcelos]

Iberians aren't like british, stop with this mantra.

No one in his right mind says that, but it's pretty clear that there is a more "western" or "atlantic" look in Iberians than in other South Euros that makes them look more similar to (surprise) other Atlantic populations.

''southern european look'' is a senseless concept...what's a supposed ''southern euro look''? A greek look greek, a venetian look northwestern italian/north balkanic, a spaniard look spaniard.

I never understood this obsesson of lumping together people into non existent cathegories.

Define ''south euro'' as geographical region.

Well ok, portugueses are scotts and sicilians are somali.

Sounds good.

I'm so disappointed with both of you.

Absolutely agree.

It is also common Sicilians to be taken as the epitome of Southern Europeans while in fact it is just an island on the extreme of Europe. Southern Europe stretches from Lisbon to Istanbul and from Milano to Valetta and is the most diverse European region.

[Ianus]

Neither, she looks very Iberian

[aimar]

neither, but of those two option I would say sicily

[Tooting Carmen]

Neither. She's very Portuguese looking.

True, but I'd take her as Sicilian before British.

[Tooting Carmen]

Southern Europe stretches from Lisbon to Istanbul and from Milano to Valetta and is the most diverse European region.

LOL. So you think that Brits and Germans look more alike than do Spaniards and Italians? Whatever.

[Trun]

LOL. So you think that Brits and Germans look more alike than do Spaniards and Italians? Whatever.

Norwegians and Finns look more alike than Portuguese and Bulgarians for sure. So do Brits and French, Germans and Slovaks and Estonians and Ukrainians.

[Sikeliot]

LOL. So you think that Brits and Germans look more alike than do Spaniards and Italians? Whatever.

Yes. I do think this.

[Tooting Carmen]

Norwegians and Finns look more alike than Portuguese and Bulgarians for sure. So do Brits and French, Germans and Slovaks and Estonians and Ukrainians.

Only the first sentence I fully agree with. Brits and Northern French are very alike, but the overlap notably declines further South in France, while the facial features of most Germans and most Slovaks are quite different, plus Ukrainians are considerably darker than Estonians.

[aimar]

LOL. So you think that Brits and Germans look more alike than do Spaniards and Italians? Whatever.

I think so too. what's so strange about that?

[Tooting Carmen]

I think so too. what's so strange about that?

In facial traits, Spaniards and Italians differ just as much as do Brits and Germans, but pigmentation-wise Spaniards and Italians are roughly the same, whereas Germans are appreciably blonder than Brits.

[aimar]

Norwegians and Finns look more alike than Portuguese and Bulgarians for sure. So do Brits and French, Germans and Slovaks and Estonians and Ukrainians.

I think even English look closer to Swdes or Poles, than portuguese do to Bulgarians.

[Sikeliot]

Iberians aren't like british, stop with this mantra.

Those who deny the difference between south euros do it out of insecurity since they fall on the woggy side of the spectrum. Iberians don't look south Italian sorry.

[Peikko]

Britain of course, she looks like a Viking from Orkney.

[Sikeliot]

In facial traits, Spaniards and Italians differ just as much as do Brits and Germans, but pigmentation-wise Spaniards and Italians are roughly the same, whereas Germans are appreciably blonder than Brits.

The difference is larger than that. Coloring the same but facially Spanish lack many types common to Italy.

[Trun]

Only the first sentence I fully agree with. Brits and Northern French are very alike, but the overlap notably declines further South in France, while the facial features of most Germans and most Slovaks are quite different, plus Ukrainians are considerably darker than Estonians.

Facially Germans and Slovaks are much more similar than Portuguese and Bulgarians. It's true Ukrainians are visibly darker than Estonians (in fact they look closer to Bulgarians than to Estonians). Still I think even they are more similar.

Also Germans aren't blonder than Brits. Look how far south Germany stretches.

[Sikeliot]

I think so too. what's so strange about that?

IMO no part of Italy looks Iberian. The north looks Like South France and the south east med.

[Trun]

I think even English look closer to Swdes or Poles, than portuguese do to Bulgarians.

Swedes maybe, Poles no. Poles are spotted in Britain easily.

[aimar]

IMO no part of Italy looks Iberian. The north looks Like South France and the south east med.

Yes, they either look too eastern or to nordid to look Portugues, but some people in both countries have a common look.

[cally]

Sicily. She doesn't look British.

[Antimage]

Sicily. She doesn't look British.
she doesn't look sicilian either. The only reason why so many if you say she looks sicilian rather than brit is her pigmentation. If you take her brownish skin away she looks very british imo. Her facial features,shape of the head look british and nothing sicilian

[cally]

the first one is courteney cox american actress of "English (mostly), with Welsh, Scottish, Irish, German, Swedish" ancestry according to ethnicelebs. To me there's no big phenotypical difference between these two women. To me Nelly Furtado really looks like a darker than the avarage brit. Don't forget that the swedish and german admixture might make the first woman lighter

[Roy]

Neither, looks very Iberian.

It's one of those faces that is neither common nor uncommon.

[Sikeliot]

Yes, they either look too eastern or to nordid to look Portugues, but some people in both countries have a common look.

I agree. I've seen Portuguese who can even fit in Cyprus. I just meant more generally like as a rule. Some Sicilians fit in Central Europe too and are light which is different too than the typical look of a lighter Portuguese.

Oddly enough the most homogenously east med part of Italy is Calabria since it's much less diverse than Sicily.

[Sikeliot]

she doesn't look sicilian either. The only reason why so many if you say she looks sicilian rather than brit is her pigmentation. If you take her brownish skin away she looks very british imo. Her facial features,shape of the head look british and nothing sicilian

I think so too. She looks like Courteney Cox to me who is Anglo-Irish.

[alnortedelsur]

She doesn't look Sicilian nor British. She looks too exotic for both places, and she doesn't look like typically Iberian either.

[Peyrol]

Those who deny the difference between south euros do it out of insecurity since they fall on the woggy side of the spectrum. Iberians don't look south Italian sorry.

They aren't neither ''british'' as many of them try to claim here, except some notable and good exception as Aimar who say that iberians are just part of the south/soutwestern euro spectrum.

Just ask to the british members which live in cities filled with iberians (Caismeadech for example) if they're like the indigenous...c'mon...

[Lusos]

Shit.You must have met thousands of Portuguese.(Yet you hardly been to Portugal.If Ever.And they all look like something.)

You,It seems met more then me,and i was born and raised In Portugal.

And Portuguese are always the smallest minority abroad (Native ones)I find It hard that you know so many Portuguese.

To prove your point you always state "I met a Portuguese who looked..."

[mikeyup]

i don't understand what's the fuzz about her

she looks iberian, not british nor sicilian... maybe she would fit as a dark brit or an atlantid looking sicilian but that's it

[Incal]

The first time i saw her i thought she was from India. Still she is beautiful

I thought she was some sort of Brit/Indian mix.

[SardiniaAtlantis]

This has become the most useless thread.
