  1. Poll: Did Brazil receive many Spanish immigrants. While...

    Did Brazil receive many Spanish immigrants. While not in Hispanic America, its sheer size might make it the home of a larger number of Spanish descendants than many other Latin American nations
  2. Imran Khan, who is of course Pakistani, could...

    Imran Khan, who is of course Pakistani, could pass for European. That is about as close at it gets.

    Nikki Haley is also a very "white" Indian American, and could possibly pass for European if you...
  3. With some Americans, a funny thing happens once a...

    With some Americans, a funny thing happens once a person reveals a Spanish (or Spanish-sounding) name.
    If they are white, some "Amerindian" or "African" features magically appear. The nostrils seem...
  4. Poll: I am all for revision, going against the grain,...

    I am all for revision, going against the grain, and defying groupthink, but to say the Civil War was not about slavery ignores, well, pretty much every expressed view by Confederate leaders of...
  5. There is an evolutionary drive to seek neotenous...

    There is an evolutionary drive to seek neotenous or pedomorphic traits such as smaller noses and more gracile features. I think that is an element of it. Some Western men perceive many Asian women...
  6. It seems that most tall groups have two things in...

    It seems that most tall groups have two things in common:

    A mountain/upland or "Atlantic climate" habitat (i.e. cool weather prevailing)
    A meat-rich diet as pastoralists or hunters.
  7. I think both countries are broadly similar. Many...

    I think both countries are broadly similar. Many old-stock Canadians are direct descendants of American loyalists.

    One element that might set Canada apart is a very large Ukrainian population in...
  8. Her looks are somewhat common in Northern Mexico,...

    Her looks are somewhat common in Northern Mexico, though definitely lighter than average.

    Though the genetic test is remarkable, as I would guess closer to 75% European.
  9. I know the original poster disqualified...

    I know the original poster disqualified Kaliningrad, but I have to wonder, if it is made up of "transplants" from across Russia, and now surrounded by foreigners, wouldn't that heighten its sense of...

    At 45, all I will say is it seems like I was 25 not that long ago. Time flies too fast.
  11. Poll: Depends on how one defines "Central Europe." If...

    Depends on how one defines "Central Europe." If based on Germany, then no. If Germany is "west," and Central Europe is Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, and Croatia, - and maybe Lithuania...

    Former Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi has that "pseudo-European" vibe, though his facial features are Mongoloid, his wavy hair, skin color, overall bearing give him a...

    I'd say the Bavarians are probably as "Celtic" than a lot of the people who are linguistically Celtic today.
  14. I like the Spanish anthem, "March Real." A simple...

    I like the Spanish anthem, "March Real." A simple but elegant one.

    South America has several good anthems.

    English-speaking countries, overall, have disappointing anthems, though there are good...
  15. Some people in the Latin American "Left" can be...

    Some people in the Latin American "Left" can be very race conscious and - despite some of their rhetoric, be very wary of African/Indigenous people.

    Likewise, some people on the Latin American...
  16. Poll: If you mean overall genetic ancestry. If the...

    If you mean overall genetic ancestry.

    If the non-European is Sub-Saharan African or Australoid, probably well over 90% is needed to pass, but there are borderline cases that are probably below...

    Argentine, Chile, Uruguay

    Las sierras norteñas de México: (atípico, pero puede pasar)

    I think of the Dying Gaul statue...and see guys with very similar facial features in Scots-Irish Americans.

    Most smaller Latin American nations have large racial differences between the capital/main city and the hinterlands.

    Are most of the soccer/crowd photos from Asunción?

    How stable is the British population by place? Do most people live in the county or region where their grandparents were born? I would imagine any differentiation would be limited to the most rural...

    I always thought Catholic countries had extremely detailed records. Genealogy is often easier to do in colonial Mexican than in colonial North America because the Catholic Church had a file on...
  22. Poll: The best "Chicano" accent is what you hear among...

    The best "Chicano" accent is what you hear among old timers and more rural people around Corpus Christi and Kingsville to Houston, its a blend of "border" Tejano and U.S. southern. When you hear it,...
  23. New Mexico has always been at least 40% or so...

    New Mexico has always been at least 40% or so Hispanic, and had Hispanic governors and congressmen almost continuously across its history.

    Florida's colonial Spanish population was very small, and...

    For every Mexican American the Republicans gain in South Texas, there are two new liberal voters in the main cities.

    If you look at the trends, every 2 years since 2012, the writing is on the...
