Why's Portugal's public life considerably more multi-ethnic than in other Southern Euro countries?

Just to know your thinking: Do you consider her mixed-race?

She looks exotic, but I am not sure I'd call her 'mixed-race' per se.

Ok, I just wanted to check if in your opinion you having a brown-skin even if its tanned (we aren't exactly on the Alps) was mixed-race. Was just curious.

Also, what are the mixed-race and black political leaders not counting on the aforementioned António Costa (indian -maybe already eurosian?! - grandfather - father side)

She looks like a Southern European with a swarthier skin, but she could be part gypsy too.

When you say politicians of Angolan origin, do you mean black people or ethnic Portuguese diaspora?

I also don't know many black newsreaders. There is a famous one who is sort of a light mulatta, and I think I have seen maybe one other who is proper black.

I also don't know which "number of politicians of angolan origin" he means.

I'm aware of one black newsreader woman and one black sports male journalist. I don't watch italian or greek TV but i know there is a black female newsreader in Spain, in TVE. I guess we win by one, which on TA is enough to say we have a lot more black people on media.

I think Tooting Carmen saw our national team, and also being aware that our current prime minister is part indian, then made a guess that the rest of public figures in others fields were considereably multi-ethnic. But that isn't really the case.

No. Roma in Portugal are less proportion numbered as i.e Spain and live according to strict marital and inbreeding rules very rarely getting out of their group and even with all that she even doesn't have any gypsy look.

Sassaolo answer me: Does this portuguese have a swarthy look and /or maybe part Roma?

Swarthy euro look IMO. I thought she would made some acoustic version of Dream On by Aerosmith at first...

Hmm... In this video she seems like a regular untanned Southern Euro(neither lighter than average, neither swarthier than average).
