What is the darkest European country? (Skin, eyes and hair)

[Zroota]

Cyprus is in West Asia. Shouldn't be listed up there.

I'll go with Malta.

France isn't a dark country, on average it's Central Euro standards so neither dark or light.

Now France is a transitional country, you can put it as a whole on a survey I would say, atleast you would have to separate Southern France from Northern France.

Southern France (and even part of Central France) is close to Southern Euro numbers, Northern France, not at all.

For UK I think that they hae much more dark haired people but at the same time light eyes are really very prevalent (and lighter shades of brown).

So to conclude : no, they are far from competing in the competition of the darkest country.

In "color competitions" they usually include in the same package the color of eyes, skin and hair for no reason. I agree that on the Franco-German border there is more phenotypic overlap and they are all clearer for obvious reasons.
But that doesn't exclude a lot of dark French (plus 20% Muslims) to compete with dark Romanians or dark Spaniards.

Nor was I making a judgment of any kind, but the fact of including some countries and not others in the survey is a technique of manipulation.

Not only Franco-German border, don't exagerate.

Normans, people from Pas-de-Calais, Bourgogne, Britanny, Lorraine, where I live (so Haute-Savoie) are close to Northern Euros countries in terms of "lightness", a bit darker but nowhere dark to be in the competition of the darkest people.

Central French can be quite dark but they are kind of an intermediate.

The only people that you could include are Southern French, that's all.

And I'm talking about native population not immigrants (it's obvious).

Cyprus.. It's obvious

It's kinda clear that this thread is about the native population of Europe, discounting immigrants.

Immigrants are French like any other pale French. I could do the same with my country and exclude the descendants of foreigners from 700 years ago, anyone could adjust the "populations" to fit whatever they want.

That France has not yet assimilated such immigration through miscegenation is not my fault.

Malta. Cyprus isn’t European.

I'm talking about who are fully or mostly French, not about immigrants, what's so hard to understand ? This thread is not political at all.

Immigration to France is a "recent" phenomenon, first waves of Italian migration... end of the 19th century, beginning of the 20th century. Before that ? Little to no mass migration or important foreign geneflow in France from the Dark Ages to the 19th century.

And no, immigrants aren't "French like any other pale French", then North-Africans in Spain are also as Spaniards as the locals, you're dishonest to bring that issue here whereas it's pretty clear that we aren't talking about foreign immigrants.

Portugal

Do you really think portugueses as whole are darker than nations like albania or greece and their islands? Because if it is, the rest of Iberia probably is too, since there is no big difference inside the Peninsula.

[Daco Celtic]

Lets just say Romanians are the darkest, end these retarded skin color threads, and get on with life
