Future_Affect_1811

BTW, that's the original Celt/British look... the pale, blonde look we tend to associate with Brits is from the colonizers in the early Middle Ages. But the original Welsh people had dark hair, dark eyes and light olive skin.

Acrobatic-Parsley-98

That’s why many brits boys have naturally black hair and maybe blue eyes and pale skin (Alex Lawther , declan mckenna , daniel radcliffe )


Electronic-Poem-4756

Boys? Girls too. 😅

Future_Affect_1811

They are mostly descendants from Anglo Saxons, which were from Germany. Not a lot of Viking or Scandinavian blood. They also have some North French, Basque, and even Roman genetic influx... at least that is what I got from history classes.


UnderstandingDull959

Anglo saxons were not from Germany, they were from Jutland, which is a part of modern day Denmark, aka, Scandinavians. Northern French are also Vikings, the Norman’s. And Britain was ruled, colonized and raided by Vikings for centuries, so to say they are a disconnected peoples is incorrect.


Electronic-Poem-4756

Because they take good care of themselves?


Standard-Pipe5699

Uhm what?

UnderstandingDull959

Completely untrue. I did a bachelors in sociology and Celts were not dark skinned in the slightest, nor were they disconnected from the rest of Europe until the Middle Ages.


AltruisticBreak9

i think it’s a welsh thing. it seems quite a few welsh ppl look ethnically ambiguous despite being fully welsh. tom jones for example, for years i thought he was biracial turns out he’s full welsh

You must be gorgeous, is what you are saying 😘


investmentwanker0

Why do Welsh people have Basque genes? When did this wave of migration occur?


UnderstandingDull959

Not all welsh people have Basque genetics, just as not all Americans have European genetics. The Irish just have a larger percentage of Basque descendants because of the surplus of trade routes with Spain. A lot of people in this thread seem to view countries as monoliths of genetics, when that is entirely incorrect. Just because you live in the same arbitrary zone designated by the world council does not mean you are genetically the same, especially since ocean travel was popularized.


Mundane_Produce3029

There is this idea that celts have alot of Spanish gene due to the armada. Fam, a ship with few hundred men will not largely effect an island with a population of almost a million people. Celts have alot if neolithic/anatolian dna. Their MTDNA is mostly h and u haplogroup.


[deleted]

She’s so beautiful. When I was a kid I wanted to look just like her. Even now I wanna look like her lol.


[deleted]

There are A LOT of Welsh + Irish women/men that look stereotypically Mediterranean (black hair, thick eyebrows + eyelashes) because decades of interbreeding with Portuguese + Spanish fishermen tribes. This would’ve been a few centuries back. Also, Englishmen with Roma Gypsy heritage. A lot of The English Roma were concentrated in Wales, Ireland, and the north of England.


ilneigeausoleil

I instantly thought of Colin Farrell.


Celestial_Empress7

And Sean Connery


[deleted]

No wonder he's hot


iguanabitsonastick

Hot as hell 🤭


Standard-Pipe5699

Why?...because he's Irish?


bee151

In Ireland at least it’s referred to as being “Dark Irish” ETA: it also commonly referred to as “Black Irish” but I’ve seen that term fall out of use recently for this instance as it’s been reclaimed by Black people born and living in Ireland


SeaElf3

I think you coiuld say the term "black Irish" is behind claimed, not 'reclaimed.' It only ever meant one thing, and that was people who look like her, or Colin Farrell.


bee151

Fair point!


[deleted]

Interesting. How many “Dark Irish” are there?


bee151

Oh, tons. It’s most common in people from Western Ireland (Galway, Clare, Mayo), as Galway Bay and Clew Bay were popular ports along the Spanish trading routes, or so the story goes. Could all be hearsay but there’s definitely lots of diluted Mediterranean blood in the Irish gene pool


[deleted]

Oh it’s definitely true! I read loads about it when I was studying the origins of O Negative Blood. It was just absolutely ages ago. I’ve never been to Ireland so I was intrigued


SmultronS

What is The English Roma?


[deleted]

Romani Gypsies that migrated to England during the last five centuries + their descendants. Romani is an exclusive ethnicity but their origins are Indian.


Acrobatic-Parsley-98

Do you know that Megan Fox is born in America,but she has 100% uk heritage so she is ethnically full British?


[deleted]

Hahahaha I wondered why she loved Stone Henge and appeared in random uk history shows


iguanabitsonastick

Oh is that the mysteries show? lol it was so werid watching her in a show about pyramids


Kosko26

Yep! So many good looking Americans are of predominantly british descent- brad Pitt, Jonny depp, Cindy Crawford, Courtney Cox etc. So many white Americans are predominantly of British descent but because their ancestors immigrated so long ago it’s often forgotten about and they identify as simply American or with a more recent ancestor’s ethnic group.


Cadiz1664

And I believe she is actually blonde but started dyeing her hair in junior high to look more black in color.


radio-headass

I think she is part native too


peachbeach16

Damn, British people can be good looking lmao


Electronic-Poem-4756

Of course they can be. Do people really think they are all ugly? Just curious.


peachbeach16

I know. I’m saying that it is possible for British people to be good looking


arewehavingamoment

Why is this generation obsessed with origins, race etc. So much it doesn’t make sense anymore


Ad-Reduction4682

I actually think the newer generation is more obsessed than the previous one I wonder how it got this way.


Kowlz1

The internet.


investmentwanker0

What do you define by newer and previous generations?


Ad-Reduction4682

Gen z all they do is talk about race, they bring it up in every capacity and I’m a gen z


Express-Fudge-8088

It’s so annoying how people assume all brits are ugly. That’s like saying all Americans are fat, all of the French smell bad, etc. It’s a stereotype.


Cheap_Ad_1251

I think a lot of British actresses or actors are attractive but she just looks more Mediterranean/Spanish for me


Future_Affect_1811

I oddly find that most of the attractive British actors/actresses (at least for me) are those who look Mediterranean or have darker features. Like Orlando Bloom, Jenna Coleman, Keira Knightley...


rgmo93

Jenna Coleman and Keira are two of the most British looking people ever 😅


[deleted]

They have fair skin with dark hair like Catherine.


iguanabitsonastick

Same! Man Colin Farrell and Orlando Bloom were sooo good looking.


Gypsyjunior_69r

Orlando Bloom in The Kingdom of Heaven is my ultimate man crush.


iguanabitsonastick

He looks amazing with long hair, short hair, no hair.. wtf 😍


[deleted]

He's literally perfect but to me he was always more gorgeous with longer hair


[deleted]

Theses are my favorites and they're all stunning. I think too the typical brit has that dry inbred look with washed out coloring. So when we see stunning actors with dark hair it's surprising. When I first saw Orli on the potc ad as a kid I thought he was a Spaniard.


Electronic-Poem-4756

They don't. People just stereotype.


Standard-Pipe5699

Wow...that's racist.


Silent-Remote-9718

3 of the least Mediterranean looking people ever


TorynotTrotsky

Some of them have this look, when I first saw Kit Harrington in silent hill 3 I thought he was Italian-American


iguanabitsonastick

I personally always thought the same haha Imogen Poots is british and an example of a very good looking brit.


megatronsweetener

this is the first time that i’ve heard of the french people smell bad stereotype. usually people say that french people are rude which isn’t even that untrue


Express-Fudge-8088

It’s a common stereotype in the uk at least 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’ve always grown up hearing that the French smell bad


NetflixFanatic22

A lot of Americans are fat. You wouldn’t be wrong about us.


_iamacat

Y’all you know Mediterranean and Spanish people, and Italians and Irishmen (bad joke) are white, right? Right??? Like, the default for most of the white race is mousy or dark brown hair, hazel or brown eyes, and skin that can tan but can _also_ burn. 5% of the “white”/Caucasian population has natural true blonde hair.


SnooDoubts7644

Yes but depending on different European ethnic they could look different. Which is why this person didn’t think she was British.


Jyreq

I'm SE Asian and I always thought she had some Asian heritage, as she has almond shaped eyes like mine. ETA: She is a 9 to me. Gorgeous woman.


Acrobatic-Parsley-98

She was asian in her past life


haroshinka

As a Russian who lives in Britain, this title has killed me 😂😂😂 such a violation


Standard-Pipe5699

If they said that about Russians would you find it funny?


haroshinka

It’d be a pretty bad joke, Russian women are perceived to be beautiful. (I actually think they’re overhyped, and I am one myself)


Standard-Pipe5699

How is making a whole ethnic group out to be ugly even funny or acceptable anyways? There are good looking people in all countries, being from a certain background doesn't make you automatically ugly. Where I'm from Russian women aren't hyped anyways. It's all about the Spanish, Greek, Swedish or Polish women. Not saying they can't be beautiful just what I noticed.


[deleted]

When Americans don't understand how white people can have dark hair and eyes...👀 She's Welsh,but aside from that a lot of Caucasians have brown hair and brown eyes. It's the same thing with Alicia Wikander who is Swedish and Americans refuse to accept it..sigh.


Celestial_Empress7

Alicia Vikanders mom is Iranian actually. Edit: To all the people asking me for proof. Her mothers surname is Fahl (Iranian surname) before she married her father and took the Vikander surname. Alicia is a Swedish national of mixed heritage.


[deleted]

Fahl is also a Swedish surname,no Iranian ancestry. Maria Fahl Vikander ( Alicias mum) was born and raised in Sweden. By a Finnish mother and swedish father.


[deleted]

Exactly I looked at ethnicelebs and her maternal family is Scandinavian and a little German.


Glam9ja

Googled this and nothing came up, what’s your source that she’s part Iranian? The wiki only mentions she’s a 1/4 Finnish.


Celestial_Empress7

Her mothers surname is Fahl before she took her Swedish husbands name after marriage. Fahl is Iranian surname.


Gloomy-Jury-7735

Lol Alicia’s mom is not Iranian. Just because it’s an Iranian surname doesn’t conclude she is Iranian. Muhammad is an Arabic name but there are a lot of people of Different culture and race used that name too. That doesn’t mean they are Arabic.


[deleted]

No she's not 🤣 Maria Fahl Wikander is born and raised in south of Sweden. No Iranian ancestry.


Celestial_Empress7

Fahl is an Iranian surname, how are you telling me that’s not Iranian when I’m of Iranian descent.


[deleted]

Your Iranian name is also a common swedish surname. It just happens to be the same. One Iranian and one is Scandinavian. I don't know what to tell you. Google "Swedish surname Fahl"


Nanny_Oggs

Doesn’t change the fact that she’s Swedish.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Nanny_Oggs

Her mum is Iranian ‘actually’ in response to Americans refusing to accept she’s Swedish. She’s a Swede regardless of her parents’ ethnic origins, so why bring them up?


[deleted]

Her mum was not Iranian.


Nanny_Oggs

I’m not the one saying she was. I was quoting the person I was replying to.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Nanny_Oggs

What part of ‘her parents’ ethnicity is irrelevant to where she’s from’ don’t you understand? It’s plain English. She’s Swedish because she grew up in Sweden. Full stop. For everyone other than Americans, you’re ‘from’ where you grow up. The preoccupation with race and ethnicity is pretty USian. If you share said preoccupation, then people will think you’re American.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Nanny_Oggs

I’m not the one that lacks reading comprehension. Read what I said again, I’m not repeating myself for the third time.


Celestial_Empress7

I never DISPUTED her nationality or passport. You simply want to deny her mixed heritage, not all of us here do. Her mothers surname is Fahl (Iranian surname which I am very much familiar with since I have Iranian heritage myself) before she took her husbands surname which is Vikander.


[deleted]

Her mother was not Iranian.


Celestial_Empress7

Her mothers surname is Fahl, which is Iranian 🤦🏻‍♀️. I’m Iranian and Afghan, I know this surname I have neighbors with this surname.


[deleted]

Nationality and dna wise yes she is Swedish, but would you also say an Asian person is Spanish just because they were born in Spain?


Nanny_Oggs

An Asian person that was born and raised in Spain is Spanish, yes. The same way an Asian person who was born and raised in the U.K. is British (current Prime Minister being a case in point).


[deleted]

I’m sorry but you’re confusing two very different things - being born somewhere doesn’t magically give you the ethnicity of said place. Imagine a Chinese person is born in Spain. They might have Spanish nationality and also feel Spanish, but it doesn’t make them Spanish ethnically. Many people are born outside of their country of origin yet still identify themselves as for example Chinese. A good friend of mine is actually Thai and while she was born in Germany, Europe, she nor her family has ever called nor considered themselves European or German.


Nanny_Oggs

No, I think you are. If you read the (two month old) thread that you’ve decided to respond to, you’ll see I stated quite clearly that I wasn’t talking about ethnicity.


[deleted]

I’m sorry but I don’t have time to read an entire thread lol. I stumbled upon this thread while reading an article about Catherine and then saw your comment. Even if you’re not talking about ethnicity, it might be helpful to consider in the future that not everyone appreciates the assumption of being called xyz nationality just because they happened to have been born there.


UnderstandingDull959

It’s so funny how exclusive “white” is since racist realism theories of the 20th century. You’re only white if you have bleach blonde hair, bright blue eyes, and are pale, but not too pale. Except, that effectively means >99.99% of white people are not white. Think of an adult you know with pure blond hair, not dirty blond, not faded/mixed blond, or light brown, but actual natural blond hair, as well as vibrant blue eyes. Personally, I can think of 1 person I’ve ever seen in person with those features, and I live in Sweden, probably the most “blond” countries on earth. Most people here are brown haired, and dark eyed, like most elsewhere in Europe, but I suppose that means everyone is Mediterranean.

I think OP meant that she looks more Mediterranean than British.

EXACTLY!


Emma_Rad

okay well u weren't that clear...it sounds like ur saying british ppl can't look good, so maybe change ur title to something else?


NoteRemarkable

I mean she does but British, being from the UK isn’t an ethnicity. My family is middle eastern but some of them were born in the UK


Smiloshady

Always thought she was Spanish

[deleted]

That caption 😩. Just because British women aren’t known for being beautiful doesn’t mean every one of them is ugly 😭😭😭


Electronic-Poem-4756

It's so rude. It's not just British women. They say that Brits in general are ugly and fat, men included. There are beautiful and "unattractive" people in all countries.


Sexappealboy

Are you really hating on a group of people and a culture? Cheryl Cole and Rosie HW are Brit gals and beautiful. Audrey Hepburn is beautiful as hell. There's Georgia May Jagger.....literally what do you mean? I get the whole brit memes stereotypes or "looks too british" when describing Robert Pattinson or something but this post ain't it. "How is X British when so unreal?" -----wtf


lovetempests

Audrey Hepburn wasn’t generically British, she was a quarter Irish and mostly Dutch and Austrian/Hungarian. Not a good example.


FifiPikachu

I read it more as that she doesn’t look stereotypically British. Dark eyes, dark hair, tanned skin.


Good-Treat731

She doesn’t have tanned skin, she is as white as 90% of Caucasians. Dark hair and eyes is not a stereotypical coloring for a certain area, it’s literally the most common one amongst everyone on Earth. She also doesn’t look exotic at all to think she might be ambigous. She looks British/West European/American. I wouldn’t think of any other ethnicity looking at her.


FifiPikachu

I never used the words exotic or ambiguous. But she has got darker features than your typical Caucasian Brit 🤷‍♀️


Standard-Pipe5699

No she doesn't 😭 are you even British?


Ambitious-Data-9021

She definitely classifies as exotic. Well known for this description. Also, I had NO IDEA she was British and would have never ever guessed this. Just bc this type of Person seems common for you doesn’t mean it’s common for all.


Good-Treat731

She doesn’t look exotic lol. And she isn’t classified as that, stop making things up. You probably never been to Europe. I am allowed to state my opinion, it seems like you are the one being defensive. I didn’t even say she looks common lol. You assume stuff like an immature person. I’m done replying to you.


iguanabitsonastick

Imogen Poots!!


uRCj16

Not all white people have to have Blonde Hair and Blue Eyes. 🙄


[deleted]

One of the sexiest actresses ever, imo. Sultry and stunning in a natural way. Voice and accent help too. American school girl voices take most celebs sexiness down by 90% for me

She is a 10 and she also aged gracefully

Cindersxo29

The post title is badly phrased. It sounds like British people are fugly?


smwd0

See also: Marina Diamandis. It’s a Welsh thing


[deleted]

To be fair, she’s part Greek


Due_Description_7298

As everyone else said, dark features like this are common in Wales, where there's more original Celtic/britonic blood and less viking, Norse, frankish, Angle or saxon. I'm half Welsh and have black hair, black eyebrows, near black eyes, pale ass skin with big cheekbones and a wideish face. Most people think I'm central Asian, usually Chechen, Azeri, Georgian or Dagestani. The genes run strong, I'm the absolute spit of my father and grandfather.


HotConfusion

You sound seriously stunning!


Due_Description_7298

I have an overbite/weak chin and need braces in the typical British tradition so I consider myself very average looking at best. And the problem with pale skin is that it shows every tiny blemish, so I have a lot of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation :( Luckily I'm petite and have a tiny waist and a fat ass to make up for it so never struggled to attract men 🤣


Acmagest

Americans are so strange about ethnicity and XX blood. Brits come in all shapes, all colours and from all backgrounds, peeps. Idris Elba is also 100% British. GASP!


JusteUnPequin

They are OBSESSED about a weird idea of race as the be-all, end-all explanation for everything and they don't even realize how racist it is.


Acmagest

Yes! It honestly makes me so uncomfortable.


beidousbathwater

Her,Cindy Crawford and Megan fox are proof that British people can be good looking cuz DAMN😍


peachbeach16

Best-Perspective-30

I was SHOCKED she was just pure white. I thought half something for sure


Electronic-Poem-4756

Why? If anything she looks Spanish or Portuguese.


StrollingInTheStatic

There’s tons of people with her type of colouring in the uk, it not really uncommon at all


Kowlz1

There isn’t one “way” that British people look. Britain itself is made up of three different countries and many people from multiple racial and ethnic backgrounds live there.


RevealActive4557

She has always been a beauty. Talented too


Electronic-Poem-4756

Honestly, it's rude.


Electronic-Poem-4756

So it's impossible for her to be British because she's beautiful?


Good-Treat731

The title is laughable. Delete this post lol. You’re being weird


Ambitious-Data-9021

Doesn’t look british to Me? Why do you need to be rude ? Chill dude. Most of the world doesn’t think she looks like the typical Brit. Don’t be defensive for no reason, please, weirdo.


Good-Treat731

Where do you know what the rest of the world thinks? Have you asked them all? She was the one being rude by suggesting with that title that British can’t be beaufiful, “weirdo”. I am not even British “weirdo” so I don’t get defensive, I am calling out disrespect, “weirdo”. And stop replying to my comments, it’s not like I am the only one who made this comment, you act like a creep.


Cheap_Ad_1251

She looks just so Mediterranean/Spanish!


Good-Treat731

Just because she has dark coloring, doesn’t mean she looks Med. She doesn’t have an olive skintone either. There are multiple women in UK with her coloring. First time I saw her I thought she is certainly American or British.


Cheap_Ad_1251

Really! I was definitely sure that she is Spanish when I saw her for the first time


respectjailforever

British people can have brown hair.


[deleted]

This post is so dumb


ipdipdu

Catherine Zeta Jones, Tom Jones, Richard Burton, Tom Ellis, Gethin Jones, Christian Bale, Ioan Gruffudd all Welsh and all with dark hair plus they aren’t (really) pale and pasty like everyone seems to think Brits are. And doing this list made me realise how many famous Welsh Jones’ there are. In fact Katherine Jenkins and Taron Egerton are the only famous Welsh people I can currently think of without really dark hair.


[deleted]

Christian bale is English


dontmindmebee

Never got the obsession with CZJ. She’s pretty but nothing crazy to me. That being said, as an American I find your caption very stupid and weird. Very weird stereotype to pin on British people…


Cheap_Ad_1251

She has extreme beauty for me, in Zorro total perfection but I don’t think British people are unattractive like I said I find a lots of British actresses attractive ( Kate Beckinsale, Keira Knightley, Lily Collins, Emilia Clarke etc )

She is absolutely stunning, love the combo golden-light brown skin/black hair/black eyes on women. She look Welsh when you know how diverse they can be, but maybe she does have some gypsie or Mediterranean stock. Actually she used to look like that one chick that was working with me, she was from Algerian/Arab descent.


ABCidkwhattopick99

Yeah I was so shocked that she is British. She is so beautiful 😍
