As I explained in the OP of my thread about the different levels of pigmentation existing in Europe from North to South, when we say that some particular ethnic group is lighter than other, this does NOT imply that by defect everybody in the lighter group is supposed to be lighter than everybody in the darker human group. Because when we compare human groups, things like average pigmentation comparisons, work more as a general rule, but NOT on an individual basis. There are not any ethnic human group in which everybody has exactly the same skin tone, hair color, and eye color. Indeed, all ethnic groups have a range of pigmentation values, and consequently, in all ethnic groups there are darker than average individuals, average pigmented individuals, and lighter than average individuals.
That said, when we say that a human group A is lighter than human group B, human group A is lighter ON AVERAGE than group B, but NOT on every individual case. That means that it is perfectly possible for some individuals of human group B to be as light as many individuals of human group A, and even it is also perfectly possible that some individuals of human group B could be lighter than some individuals of human group A.
Of course, the two human groups that we compare has to be close enough for this to happen, because if we compare, for example, ethnic French with Nigerians, obviously, even the darkest ethnic French will be much lighter than the lightest Nigerians.
This thread is dedicated to those cases that break the rule when comparing some human groups, pigmentation wise, with others. And I invite you all to post examples of individuals of a darker ethnicity that are lighter than individuals from a lighter ethnicity.
Very important: Is NOT valid to post examples of individuals of mixed ancestry when comparing individuals from one nationality or ethnic group with another, the two individuals have to be fully ethnic, or at least with an overwhelmingly majority of ancestry from their respective human group.
People can also post, if they want, some examples of individuals of a darker ethnicity with same or similar pigmentation as individuals of a lighter ethnicity. That would make the thread more interesting, because would give more variety in the kind of comparisons that we do, increasing the participation. But the main topic is about lighter individuals from any ethnic group, who are lighter than other individuals from a lighter ethnic group.
In my first example I will show an ethnic Spaniard, who is lighter than an ethnic British:
Lighter Ethnic Spaniard:
Her name is Pepa Flores, artistically known as "Marisol". This pretty blond and blue eyed girl is an actress and singer that worked in many Spanish movies in the decade of 1960s and in the early 1970s. She is a fully ethnic Spaniard from Andalusia.
Some pictures of her when she was young:
Darker Ethnic British:
Katherine Zeta Jones
