Why are the Portuguese the darkest Europeans?

[hurtuv]

According to a study i have made, which contains more than 1000 personalities per country, the portuguese have a 10,5% blue,gray and green eyes.
I present the results for light eyes below

Portugal 10,5%
Spain 13,5%
Greece 13,5%
Italy 17%

The lightest group of south Europeans in relation to eye colour were the North Italians, whith a 20-25% depending on the region.

Btw i am Greek

Looking at many such studies and comparing them all, is what gives a good idea of reality imo. But they have to be good to qualify.

Would you claim that yours would qualify as a good one?
Would it be as reliable as the Blade's and Supercomputer's for instance? Could you post all the people that your study involves, like The Blade does? And if that is so, what would be a good explanation for the differences between yours and theirs, in terms of results?

The Blade's - https://www.theapricity.com/forum/sh...highlight=1144
Supercomputer's - https://www.theapricity.com/forum/sh...ically-backed)

In the ensuing discussion on the Blade's study thread, you can see two old studies of the Portuguese, both done by the same Tamagnini guy, and they score very different values, because of the criteria they used possibly (and/or, I read this somewhere, one might have been done on kids) - do you think this could provide a good explanation for your study numbers?

I, and others, have made good points about the darkness of the Portuguese, on this thread: I don't think I ever lost my mind as much though, in this forum, but that has taken a turn for the funny : https://www.theapricity.com/forum/sh...58#post7097558

É suposto eu participar nesta merda de tópico troll? Estou 100% ofendido, já nem durmo...

Se o gajo não é troll, ou pelo menos mau a fazer o estudo, eu sou literalmente o pai natal.

Mas digo-te uma coisa, se ele é troll, é um troll extraordinário. Extraordináriamente inteligente, para se ir lembrar da ideia de ir fazer a merda de um estudo troll. Quase me atrevia a dar-lhe o valor, mas quem usa a inteligência para enganar e humilhar para além do humor razoável é um cínico. Ser irónico para a risada? Ok. Cínico? Um dos melhores filmes de sempre, seria assim se não falhasse em deizar a mensagem implícita mais explícita - falha demasiado... Lecter é acima de tudo, cínico (desculpa-me eu usar só o apelido à boa maneira pseudo-intelectual , mas sabes que nós tugas tratamos a malta só pelos apelidos a toda a hora) . Moral da história: não sejas cínico, é uma das piores coisas que um humano pode ser. DUH

Se ele é de facto troll, é incrivel o que associações positivas a turístas do Norte - até algo bastante relacionável no meu caso, por exemplo, podem fazer a um gajo, que noutras circunstância podia fazer um bom estudo em nome da antropologia.

E desculpa, meu companheiro, neste planeta a flutuar num braço exterior da Via Láctea, se tudo isto te soa estranho, traduzido por algum algorítmo merdoso quero eu dizer , mas eu acredito que; (dado que isto possa ser mais ou menos bem sucedido) todas as pessoas com memória, tentam a cada momento, fazer o seu melhor, tendo em conta as experiências passadas; e toda a gente pode, sem sombra de dúvida, rir-se CONNOSCO

forgot to post the links lol, fixed

I mean, this is purely anecdotal, but in the times I have gone to Portugal (Lisbon and Porto) the people did not strike me as being noticeably darker than any other southern Euro population, either way Med people are beautiful so it doesn't matter. I don't understand why some users on here fixate so much on pigmentation, like people actually get triggered if someone "darkwashes" or "lightwashes" their ethnicity, who gives a fuck, they're just adaptive traits related to geography and UV radiation, and no shit, a lot of Iberia is hot as fuck.

Its a worthless, autistic dick measuring contest and every time I see one of these threads my eyes roll way back into my skull.

Simply because the Portuguese are chads along with the Spaniards. The chad dark Europeans versus the virgin snowflake Europeans.

Seriously though, White Mediterraneans have lived in Middle East for thousands of years. They did not mix with Semitic tribes, what actually occurred was that the environment shaped their characteristics in a similar way it did with Semitic peoples. That's the reason why White Mediterraneans usually can have tanned skin, almond eyes, arched eyebrows, curly hair, and dark features.
That does not mean, however, that they are mixed-race. No, European Mediterraneans are White, different from Arabs and Jews, for example. Learn the difference.

Welcome to TA, where people obsess about how white or dark a european country is instead of having a social life and fun.

Indeed, and I mean why should one even assume, for instance, a darkwashing should be bad, if many would like to be darkwashed? But you just take a bath yourself man, and don't let anybody wash you xd. If, personally, this triggered me in my early days hee, now it's just . Ah, the beauty of the Apricity xd. I think the ones who give a fuck the most are some of the trolls, probably been wash too many times xd.

But things have changed with time, to some degree at least. Some years ago, flame wars between Portuguese and Spaniards about this preposterousness were commomplace, can you believe that? Thank the quarentine for bringing new minds here. If before, people were all “the old days is what was good, the forum is not what it used to be and will be dead in a few years” sort of shit, nobody says that anymore, flew out of the zeitgeist here like a mf

there is no such thing as a "semitic" race, that's a linguistic group and southern europeans do have ME admixture especially south-east europeans.

You're wrong as usual. The PCAs show there is a Semitic race composed of Jews and Arabs. And Southeastern Europeans score little to no Middle Eastern admixture at all. You only wish they were mixed. Unfortunately to you, they are not.

[Graywolf]

I dont know about dark dude but they say portuguese women are the ugliest of Europe so they did all explorations

There is not a single semitic race on "PCAs", western jews plot near southern europeans not arabs. Moreover yes south-east europeans do have ME admixture :




that's without taking sicilians into account

[Zeno]

Why does it bother you, who cares. Like being light or dark is a win, get a life, go drink a beer.

STEFANOS CHIOS IS YOUR FUCKING PAPPA, BLOODY PUSSIES!
