Where Do These Black Haired Irish People Pass Other than Ireland?

[Grace O'Malley]

As a whole I feel like darker Irish folks don't fit that well as south European. I can't get too specific about the country because I'm really not sure but I would put this group in western Europe for sure. I can see the men in the second and also last photo passing in SW Europe. I will say I think of boxer Katie Tylor as an Irish person that passes in East Europe, but not south. I find her look fascinating.

Here is Katie Taylor in case people don't know her. She is a Gold Medal Olympic winning boxer for Ireland.

Some of them would pass as Georgians or Dagestanis

Which ones look like Georgians? As a Georgian, I'm interested.

No, she doesn't look Southern European at all! She looks more Icelandic or West Norwegian than anything. Anthropologically, she would fit within the Strandid phenotype of Northern Europe.

You have forgotten her. She's from Western Ireland, her very pale skin, black hair and her deep piercing blue eyes will make her stand out anywhere. She looks like the "Irish stereotype". Although the vast majority of Irish people are not even black - haired.

How can you forget someone who you don't know exists?

Anyway that's what the song by Steve Earle is about. His homage to the Galway Girl.

And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do
'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue

Darker Irish folks do not fit in Southern Europe. I don't even know why people spend time linking them to Southern Euros. Once in a while, one might but it's far from being common. They are on average too pale and too light - eyed, to be even Central Euros, let alone Southern Euros.

These people are distinctively NW euro. They do not fit as avg in southern Europe, but could individually as a rarer type.

Most of them would be at home in France. The contrast between pale skin, dark hair and light eyes of some is amazing.

I think it is a very attractive and striking combo. It's not common either.

[Samnium]

Do they fit anywhere else other than Ireland and parts of Britain?

France, NW Europe (the first two ladies are very NW-looking) mainly

Also it's funny because I look a lot like the first guy (third picture), I think he looks quite French.
