They are merely facts about the Portuguese as a nation which cannot be refuted.
They are mostly Celticised Iberians with more SS African mtDNA than is usual in Europe.
These are undeniable facts.
As far as hair and eye colour goes,the subject of the thread, the Portuguese tend to have a lower incidence of light hair and light eyes than probably any other European nation.
You are horribly wrong about MANY things, sir. You want to paint an entire culture / people "black" (excuse me, "swarthy and curly haired") because of your twisted prejudices, racial-ethnic myopia and tendentious, blatantly biased interpretation of Sub-Saharan mt-DNA levels (IN ONE STUDY) which, even though the percentages generally trend higher in Portugal than other European countries, are still very trivial, have absolutely NO effect on national phenotype and occur considerably more in the most lightly populated areas with unique social histories and containing segments of NON-REPRESENTATIVE population groups. Not to mention that there is great debate concerning the age and origin of much SS mt-DNA recorded throughout Portugal, as well as the greater Iberian Peninsula and other areas of Europe. Far Western Iberia, where all of Portugal is geographically located, was, according to the experts, probably the OLDEST Paleolithic refuge in Europe. Does that mean anything to you!? Do some research.
Galicia and Northern Portugal NEVER had any black / negroid populations or influences to speak of. Even Portugal's largest northern city, Porto, has only a small percentage of blacks TODAY. So where did this "SS" mt-DNA recorded in the northern regions come from? Not from the Slave Trade and not from any Muslim / "Moorish" residuals. In fact, most of it is probably non Sub-Saharan and VERY old, perhaps going back to Western Iberia's earliest settlers - to the Paleolithic period. The origins of at least some of this DNA may actually be Asian / Eurasian. No one knows for sure yet.
You are saying that the Portuguese are MAINLY DARK EVERYTHING. Who in heavens name anointed you an expert in ethnography and physical / biological anthropology? What does the word "mainly" mean to you. Given your odd-ball thinking, probably 99% of the total population. You have no idea what you are talking about! You are a novice with an ethnocentric agenda against people not to your liking. It doesn't take a genius to come to that conclusion.
To demonstrate your incredible lack of knowledge, you mentioned in another post that Ronaldo (Cristiano Ronaldo, the Portuguese football star) is very dark. I'll tell you oh omniscient one... LOL...why he is VERY dark (never mind that he gets a lot of sun): because he is NOT NATIVE ORIGIN Portuguese. His maternal grandmother is CAPE VERDIAN. RACIALLY MIXED, GET IT!? You know, CAPE VERDE, one of Portugal's old Black African colonies. He's part BLACK just like Man Utd's Ryan Giggs, the pride of Wales. Do some reading before you post. Individuals who are racially mixed are NOT OF ETHNIC NATIVE ORIGIN IN ANY COUNTRY IN EUROPE! I'm sure even you can understand that. Your prejudice and ignorance is blinding.
Another bit of news for you, Mr. pseudo physical anthropologist. Which nation in the E.U. likely has the highest levels of miscegenation in Europe today? Answer: The United Kingdom. Wikipedia lists a 2005 estimate which indicates that, at minimum, 2% of all couples in the UK are white / non white unions. The rate currently is probably substantially higher, according to Wikipedia. And, this excludes mixed race couples not legally married. The most recent surveys have mixed race births in the U.K. at 3.5% (half of those children are of black / white parentage). Mixed race individuals in the entire country are expected to exceed the total resident Indian and Pakistani population over the next several years. Now, that should not mean a hill of beans to you, should it?
You live in a glass house, sir. Don't cast stones at others and don't exaggerate facts to color people something they are not.
Portugal is probably 60% or so dark haired and dark eyed. Like ALL Southern European peoples, on average, Portuguese have somewhat darker complexions than Northern types. The reasons for this are well known, and they have little if anything to do with race. Overall, from all that I have seen, Portugal averages out to about medium in skin tone. Hair and eye color show significant variance from region to region and fall somewhere in line with what the maps here indicate. I feel, however, that light hair in all the northern provinces (Portugal and Galicia) should be recorded at about 35% or so. The Portuguese / Galicians are hardly the darkest people in Europe.
BTW, are you so warped in your thinking that you are afraid that some Portuguese / Iberians may actually be genetically Celtic? Does that thought destroy your perverse notion of what "Celticity" should be. Maybe there are Celtic genetic markers left, maybe not. I don't know and neither do you.
ENOUGH!
