Phenotypical observations from a trip to Belgium

[Erik-Jón]

You look too Nordic.

I hate Nordics eww scandis are the worst humans to exist EVER

[Septentrion]

We surely have more darker skin types than Polish. Some having lighter doesn't change that.

Belgians are overall lighter-complexioned.

For skin type 1 (very pale white skin which always burns and doesn’t tan)
Belgium - 13.2%
Poland - 1.9%
For skin type 2 ( white skin which burns easily and tans poorly)
Belgium - 20.7%
Poland - 27.6%
For skin type 1/2 ( fairest skin types)
Belgium - 33.9%
Poland - 29.5%
Belgium are slightly fairer-skinned than Poles, though the difference is not to be exaggerated. Belgians aren’t close to Iberians either as you previously was saying.
Spain - 10% ( Skin type 1/2)

You are focussing on pale skin only.

When I was in Brussels it felt like over 50% were immigrants. But it could be that they simply drew my attention more.

It's way worse than that actually.
Pic is proportion of ethnic Belgians in Brussels by neighbourhood.

Yes, we seem to have higher proportions of it.

[PaganPoet]

Yes, we seem to have higher proportions of it.

Skin type IV probably too.

This should be expected in most capital cities of Western European countries. As immigrants tend to live in more urban areas.

[Septentrion]

Skin type IV probably too.

It’s present in our population for sure. Are you skin type IV? By the way the frequency of skin type I in Poland is almost the same as in Spain.

Brussels is also the capital of the European Union. So you have a diversity there.

Check in summer how all those compared peoples here tan.
Most people here have skin type 3 and 4.

Most people in Poland are type 3 and 4 as well. However the ratio of those who are type 1 and 2 in Belgium is higher than in Poland.
