How typical is he for Spain?

[Sikeliot]

How typical is this man for Spain?

I was shocked to see he was Spanish.. but someone on another board said he "looks 100% Spanish" so what do you think?

Opinions from the Spanish posters would be useful :)

[Kosovo je Sjrbia]

He looks semitic.

[Sikeliot]

In my opinion he doesn't look Spanish at all.

[Hess]

he reminds me of Zuckerberg :coffee:

[Sikeliot]

So how typical would you say then for Spain?

[Ibericus]

He is Àlex Mumbrú. Certainly not typical

[Hess]

So how typical would you say then for Spain?

I would say that he would not be typical for Spain. On a forum like this, he would never be able to pass as Spanish. In real life, however, I think he could pass as an atypical Spaniard.

[Sikeliot]

He is Àlex Mumbrú. Certainly not typical

I agree.

[aherne]

He looks textbook Semitic. I don't think he can pass as Spaniard. If truly Spanish, he must have lots of Maranno ancestry. Anyway, one very ugly guy...

[Sikeliot]

Kosovo je Sjrbia said "he looks Semitic" and then went and voted "very typical" :rolleyes:

He doesn't look semitic to me. Semitics have hooked noses, this guy has a straight nose

[Lábaru]

Kosovo je Sjrbia said "he looks Semitic" and then went and voted "very typical" :rolleyes:

Predictable, I do not trust a guy who puts fake pictures saying are pictures of him. He is a nigger, full of hate, a shame for Apricity.

[Arthur Scharrenhans]

I'm not Spanish, but he doesn't strike me as very atypical. Not the most typical face, sure, but not out of place either.

[Peyrol]

He looks semitic.

I agree.
The nose is very jewish/middle eastern.

[Matritensis]

Not typical at all.Camel/horse faces are quite rare in the Iberian peninsula.

[Foxy]

It has been posted pictures of far more typical Spaniards with the nomenclature: "typical guy". So, I say that he is not that atypical although he's not the first guy I imagine when I think of a Spaniard.

[Laubach]

He looks a Jew. He is not typical

[Sikeliot]

He gives me more of an Anatolia/Caucasus vibe than Jewish.

[alzo zero]

He doesn't look semitic he looks Turkish at best. I think he looks like a robust Raùl Gonzalez Blanco a little.

[antonio]

IMO it's a fair typical look in Spain. At least not surprising at all.

[Lábaru]

It has been posted pictures of far more typical Spaniards with the nomenclature: "typical guy". So, I say that he is not that atypical although he's not the first guy I imagine when I think of a Spaniard.

His hair or skin color is common, but the features of his face? maybe it is not atypical in abruzzo, but certainly not common in Spain.

[Lábaru]

His surname is really strange, no more than 100 in Spain and limited to a two Catalan cities, foreigner, no doubt.

http://www.miparentela.com/mapas/detalles/mumbru.html

[Ibericus]

Actually I've seen people like him in Southern France

[Pallantides]

That's Dienekes "Asian caucasoid" :D





I voted very Atypical.

[Falkata]

He doesn't look semitic he looks Turkish at best. I think he looks like a robust Raùl Gonzalez Blanco a little.

I dont he looks jewish at all but northafrican. He could pass easily as those algerian or moroccans without visible negroid admixture. Certainly not typical since as Maritrensis said this kind of "camel" faces aren´t really common

[alzo zero]

:icon_lol: Yes foreigner. Just like Jnovais. :thumb001:

[Alvarado]

Somewhat atypical. Not all Spaniards are textbook Atlanto-meds.

[alzo zero]

Somewhat atypical.
I've voted the same.

[Lábaru]

Jnovais is not from Spain.

[alzo zero]

Jnovais is not from Spain.
I see you got my point. ;)

[antonio]

In fact he looks Basquid, isnt he?

[Ibericus]

No, he doesn't.

[Lábaru]

This time I disagree, this man does not fit in North Africa, though no doubt his face is more common there than in Iberia, this guy would fit in the Middle East and maybe in some areas of the Caucasus and Eastern Europe.

[Alvarado]

I've voted the same.

He reminds me a bit of Raúl too.


In fact he looks Basquid, isnt he?

Probably yes.

He looks a bit exotic, although if his name were Gorka Aranburu, he could pass for an ugly Basque man.

Who knows the Basques knows that these are classic Basque faces:

the funny thing is that when Spaniards find an ugly fellow citizen to classify in this forum they always classify him as Basque. I' ve been In Basque country and people were absolutely more good looking, taller and lighter than in Castilla and Andalusia.

I said Basquid, not Basque. Basquid types are pretty common in places of SouthernFrance and Spain relativelly far away from historical Basque territories. Besides that, I really appreciated Basques female beautiness.

Un rasgo especialmente significativo fue la obsesión personal de Franco con la conspiración judeomasónica. Durante la Guerra Civil Española y la posguerra, coincidente con la Segunda Guerra Mundial, el régimen utilizaba una retórica antisemita en sintonía con los aliados alemanes y que buscaba precedentes en la españolidad entendida como raza identificada con el cristiano viejo y la limpieza de sangre del pasado inquisitorial.15 A partir de la victoria aliada, y del impacto de las evidencias del Holocausto, se desprestigió de tal manera el racismo que a mediados del siglo XX pocos se atrevían a defenderlo.

Antisemitism was trendy in Europe before 1939. Moreover Spanish one was really light, simply it became a little bit harder after our alignment with Nazi Germany till circa 1944. After 1944 it remained simply as an empty rethorical resource and if Spain did not recognize Israel state till democracy, was more for Franco's regime traditional friendship with Arab states (what a racist evidence in the land of Reconquest!:cool:) rather than for having something against Sionists.

Besides that one of his closest friends was Captain General Ben Mizzian, born Maroccan, and his guard of honour was the Guardia Mora (they even escorted his death corpse in the way to his tumb): it was said Franco trusted more them than even Spaniards.

Pd. Nowadays Vallejo-Nagera's greatdaughters are lovely persons and psicoterapeuts on the poshiest Madrid circles.

[aherne]

Whoever voted for this guy being less than "very atypical" would probably classify Jeff Goldblum and Ossama Bin Laden as "baskid" as well.

[Comte Arnau]

His surname is really strange, no more than 100 in Spain and limited to a two Catalan cities, foreigner, no doubt.


His surname is strange because it's a spelling variant of the Catalan surname Montbrú. But I agree with you, foreigner to Spain. :thumb001:


Btw, I dunno why all the fuss, no basketball player can be expected to be typical.

[Hess]

I believe he could pass for a rather Atypical Spaniard. He does not look like the Average Spanish person, but that may just be because of human variation, not necessarily because of foreign admixture.

[Sikeliot]

I don't think he's foreign admixed. He just isn't a look I would see and immediately think Spanish.

There are less of 50 surnames "Montbrú" in Spain which makes it even rarer than Munbrú, together, both, are less than 200 individuals in the entire peninsula.

On the contrary. If it's a native reduced surname, it's more likely to be very native and local to the area than if the surname is, say, Pérez.

What is true is that very reduced little-spread surnames usually show peculiar faces.

Somewhat atypical, but i nsaw other people with similar features.

[Caismeachd]

Atypical because of the height and exaggerated features but anyone would be atypical with those proportions. If he were a normal height his features would look completely average for Spain.

Very atypical. He has a semitic vibe.
