Do you agree with this: "What people call 'European looks' are really Northern European looks"?

[Tooting Carmen]

...which also happen to be shared by many Southern Europeans. By contrast, typical Southern European phenotypes are either unique to Southern Europe itself or overlap better with some North Africans and West Asians. The point is that Nordic-looking Iberians, Italians and Greeks are much more common than Mediterranean-looking Scandinavians, Germans and Dutch (I had a poll about that ages ago).

Everyone seems to have their own definition of 'European'. When I think European, I think of a White person.

[Smeagol]

No, and Nordic does not have the same meaning as North European.

But what is your image of a 'White person'? Now we are back to square one.

People seem to think there's one distinctly European race running From Norway to Sicily and that as soon as you cross the Mediterranean it's completely different.

[Tooting Carmen]

To explain: my theory is that the phenotypes that are TO VARYING DEGREES present throughout Europe are generally those with the heaviest concentration in the North of the continent (Saamis notwithstanding). By contrast Atlanto-Meds (as opposed to Atlantids), Gracile Meds, Berids, South Meds, East Meds, Armenoids, Pontids etc. are regionally very specific within Europe.

Exactly my point.

This view is shared by deluded southerners.

Light skin and eyes. Any color hair. I begin questioning one's Whiteness when he/she has curly hair, dark eyes, epicanthic fold, short stature, etc.
