POLL - Portuguese look closer to Moroccans or Swedish? (read OP at least)

[hurtuv]

The objective of the OP is not to provide conclusions, but to give you some data and make some minor analysis, for you to take your own conclusions and vote.
It will look at The Blade's studies of the three countries, and use morphs.

Blade's studies:

Why are The Blade's studies reliable?

-they look at large groups of people, from many occupations
-they use the same criteria for light hair/eyes/phenotypes for every country, so are excellent for comparisons
-he filters out great quantities of dyed hair among females, that he can spot by looking at roots and perhaps other factors (among males, the percentage of dyed hair is insignificant, but he filtered/would filter them out if he spotted them)
-eye colour should be very accurate as well, as the use of coloured contact lenses is pretty insignificant
-about the Portugal study, I talked to him by pm, and he told me no group analysed was significantely lighter or darker, except footballers, that were darker (this is demonstrated further on)
-a study such as his, is better than stereotypes

--------------------

Eye Colour

Light eyes
Sweden: 84,63%
Portugal: 49,35%
Morocco: 13,68%

Blue and blue-mixed eyes:
Sweden: 62,57%
Portugal: 21,72%
Morocco: 6,38%


--------------------
Hair Colour

Blond hair:
Sweden: 30,93%
Portugal: 12,41%
Morocco: 1,09%

Red, red-brown and red-blond hair (not switched up):
Sweden: 2,79%
Portugal: 6,12%
Morocco: 0,9%

Sum of the values for each country:
Sweden: 33,72%
Portugal: 18.53
Morocco: 1,99%

Blade's passability analysis

(this is not exact math, and it's about individual passability until a certain degree of atypicality)

Moroccans in Portugal - 20%-25% of wemen, 5% of men

Portuguese in Sweden - 25%-30% of wemen, 18%-20% of men

Swedish in Portugal - vast majority of people pass on the lighter side of the Portuguese spectrum (don't have to be as Nordic looking as Portuguese people such as footballer Ruizinho Furtado or singer Sofia Ribeiro "Lince")

Portuguese in Morocco - less than Swedish in Portugal

--------------------

Morphs

The Blade has stressed that in Iberia and other places with a sizeable ectomorph Gracile Med and related minority, these types get canalized to sports with the characteristics and type of skill of football, therefore, footballers are darker and less robust than other groups analysed, the opposite happening in rugby for instance; this has been noticed time and time again by people in the anthro comunity, I even saw some more reosanable ItalicRoots people admitting it, maybe because they noticed they were cherrypicking many footballers.

Swedish Morphs (1st one may be more representative because of Cro-Magnon element, second ones are footballers - a similar phenomena may happen here, regarding robustness, according to The Blade)



Portuguese Morphs and More (footballers, rugby players, combined-most accurate_also match Blade's hair/eye/phenotype average well; morph made from 1st Swedish and 1st Moroccan, morph made from 1st Swedish and 2nd Moroccan - these last two are meant as a half-term between Morocco and Sweden, to compare to Portugal)






Moroccan Morphs (one approved by Moroccan members Adamm and Hamilcar, but Hamilcar said it was "somewhat ok" but "darker than average"; one aproved by The Blade)

Thanks to everyone that helped me.

Interesting....The Blade should make other comparisons between ethnicities

Im no expertr in Portuguese types, but I've been told that in Northern Portugal, locals tend to look different, due its Caelic-celtic heritage. Not sure if I was informed correctly or not.

[Immanenz]

I dont think Blade was relieable at all- he was denying Eastern influences in his population and was overusing Atlantid/Paleo Atlantid, Nordo-Cromagnid etc. to the point that it was laughable.
His pigmentation studies were biased as well: Bulgaria being only 10 % less blond than Czechia- the blondest Centraleuropean country if you dont count Germany

On topic- i d say to unmixed looking Moroccans, Morphs arent reliable i prefer to compare real faces

[gixajo]

Maybe the offspring between an average Moroccan and and average Swedish, give a similar aspect to a majority percentage of South Europeans.

And then there would be a percentage lighter than that group and another similar percentage of darker darker.

In any case, both Scandinavia and Morocco, regardless of how light or dark they are, differ more from a Portuguese in a matter of physical features.

In most cases, the % of Portugueses that could pass in Morocco or Sweden, would be quite similar, Portugueses that could pass in Morocco something greater than 10% and that could pass in Sweden less than 10%.

It is only an opinion, I only know the two extremes of Portugal, and about the Portuguese that I have met outside of Portugal, there are many differences between individuals.

Let's see.

Swedish:



Portuguese:



Moroccan:



Verdict: Not close to Swedes by any stretch of the imagination.

[Defcon2]

Anyone with dark hair and dark eyes is closer to a Moroccan than the Swedish stereotype.

Portuguese footballer morphs I used to make the footballer average (North/Centre/Alentejo/Algarve order)
