That's extremely overstated, the difference is actually small.

According to those results Walloons are closer to Swiss Germans than to French Swiss, and far closer to Swiss Germans than French Germans and Swiss Germans are to each others.
French Swiss seem to...
Wallonia is also "Belgien"
But why not call it "flemish" or "flemishoid"? Especially since there are 2 flemish and no walloons in your examples.
My point is that all of this is selective bias,...
It's complicated because Walloons started to be a thing after Carolingian romanization in the 9th century. Walloon culture is basically the breakaway Romanized branch of the Carolingian empire...
Coon based his observations on two belgian anthropologists: Emile Houzé and Leon Vanderkindere. Both were ridiculous nationalists typical of the 19th century, respectively Walloon and Flemish. They...
Because Walloons are germanic? (I mean celto-germanic, quite pan western euro actually) how is that bizarre?
Frisians are not the benchmark of being Germanic, the difference between southern...
Walloons are not French because they have nothing to do with the French nation, it's not a matter of germanic genetic or whatever.
Yes, but why did you post them?
The first is American, 2nd...
Who are these people?
Mostly yes, but that's true for a lot of the northern and eastern French as well.
why? walloons are not french, never been, only the language is french
There was a massive immigration from northern France to Flanders in the 16th/17th century, and their names became "dutchified"; and flemings went north and became hollanders.
It was common back then...
There is nothing wrong with that, but there is something wrong with attributing it to a very phenotypically diverse people who have not that much to do with that particular phenotype, except through...
Who cares
Hard to take that composite seriously anyway when the first three names that pop up are 2 turks and one italian
It is well known that Belgians are pan-(west) european, neither nordic nor...
There is nothing such as a "walloon" as a racial or phenotypical category, it doesn't mean anything. Walloons are not a people like the Basque or whatever are.
I know that Coon or something tried to...
What do you mean? Belgians are clearly more western shifted than Austrians...
What about BelgianC and B?
i based that on the Kazakh national team who had at the time of my comment well marked types but turns out the more western looking players were imports from Ukraine.
Yes she has quite belgian features... her complexion is not typically belgian at all, too dark, but being half or a quarter italian is quite common so...
the flemish don't look scandinavians lol, nor the walloons look "swarthy alpinid" like some people with an agenda try hard to push for some reason; that makes absolutely zero sense. The difference is...
what's her name?
it's hard to say whether Belgians look more Spanish or Swedish, because Belgians don't look that much like either (save for some individuals, but not as a rule). Swedes are far too baltic and...
From a genetic point of view, Flemish and Walloons are the same people speaking a different language
I find funny that a woman with a Walloon name (rare outside the Liège area, and absolutely NOT a french name) is an example of "typically flemish".
Henrard is a very typical Walloon name.
While it's true that he would fit in anywhere in Belgium, both Flanders and Wallonia (as well as France and southern Germany), there is no "Walloon look".
