Ethnic groups that are lighter/darker than their ancestry would suggest

[Davystayn]

LOL I could not stand Bloody, But I do think Brits are less blonde than other Europeans of a similar latitude, even if only by a few percentage points (in the case of Dutch and Germans).

Well of course, havent seen anyone argue otherwise, true

Cobra Gypsies wtf

Spaniards are much darker than they are perceived to be.

Yes.

If you had scored some % Spanish & Portuguese, I would have said that's why you're not blond with blue eyes being irish, but looking at your results (considering those are actually your results and that you are actually irish), your darkness will come ... I don't know ... from that 2% English.

It´s a joke, English british islanders, do not be angry with me british , and start bumping old threads about how dark we Spaniards are, without a doubt it is because of their Scottish percentage!

Anyway, indepently of your individual case, I don't think it's the norm in Ireland, What do you think?

I guess that you will be as common in Ireland, as Gota Type can be in Spain, who is far from the Spanish average, without being entirely a unique case, but a minority.

Lighter: Jews, Caucasians, North Italians
Darker: Iberians, Balkan Gypsies, Serbs/Montenegrins, Bosniaks, southern Croats.

basque who are more EEF and WHG then nearly all western europeans and yet appear to be no darker then northern french most of the time

[Dr_Maul]

Dagestanis seem to generally be darker than Chechens/Circassians despite having much more steppe admixture.

I think they are actually really similar to Irish people like myself

Also what are the average numbers for EEF and WHG for them cause mine is 37% WHG and 25% EHG

Yup.

This is actually very common for ethnic Spaniards.
