    Default Which other European countries could this Irish sports presenter look native in?

    This is Irish sports presenter Joanne Cantwell, she's the main anchor for GAA/Gaelic sports on RTE in Ireland. What other countries in Europe can she not only pass in but would actually look like a native in as well?

    I think she has a look that is unique to Ireland. Her very pale skin complexion and sea blue eyes rule her out from looking in anyway "regular" in southern Europe, but her near jet black hair and dark eyebrows wouldn't look typical either in any Nordic/Germanic countries. The number of countries here would be small IMO even in the UK this wouldn't be all that typical either (apart from those of Irish descent).

    I can tell she not my race cause we absorb UV sun light more than most Europeans, and she is polar opposite of absorbing UV sun light

    She does not pass easily in Spain, passes in France and indeed in parts of eastern Europe.

    This kind of phenotypes exist only in Ireland.

    Agreed. Anyone who has spent any time living in Ireland knows this is a look that is strongly associated with Ireland, Irish people can spot it immediately. I was born and raised in England to Irish parents (East Anglia) , moved to Northern Ireland aged 14 where I've lived since, so I know a bit about this. To put it bluntly this is not a look I would have seen often, if ever, growing up in England unless the person had significant Irish ancestry, perhaps they exist but I actually don't know one full ethnic English whose ever had this look.

    If I saw her Id be shocked if she wasn't Irish.

    I just started this thread to see anyone who is from the continent outside the British Isles or who isn't familiar with the genetic differences here would be able to spot this.

    It seems to me you are focusing on superficial coloring rather than ethnic features.
