Re: 167
And no they don't. Eastern Europeans (You can really see this in Germans) have yellow undertones in their skin pigment, Southern Europeans have olive undertones and Northern Europeans have pink. This due to their diet and environment. There is no one shade of whiteness.
The German stereotypical look is high cheekbones with long narrow faces, while stereotypical Spanish have almond shaped eyes and strong brows, The Irish have round heads with large square foreheads, The stereotypical Scottish look for men is of large eyes and a strong jawline. For the English it's smallish noses, fleshy faces and high foreheads.
And as wiki says, An ethnic group is a group of human beings whose members identify with each other, usually on the basis of preferential endogamy (marrying within a social group) and/or a presumed or real common ancestry.[1][2] Ethnic identity is further marked by the recognition from others of a group's distinctiveness[3] and the recognition of common cultural, linguistic, religious, behavioral or biological traits,[1][4] real or presumed, as indicators of contrast to other groups.[5].
So, yes, food, language and customs are part of one's ethnicity. Or have you never eaten "ethnic food"?
Re: 167
Oi! Don't put words in my mouth, that was not what I said. I said that you get false positives, which you do, because the various conquests and migrations between the various western european countries mean that similarities in appearance are greater than the differences. The reason why I said Western european was to make it clear that I wasn't talking about the eastern, northern (scandinavian) or southern (mediteranean) europeans.
The important word in that wiki you quote is "presumed". Because there is often a correlation between ethnicity and culture it's presumed that certain cultural traits are part of one's ethnicity, but they aren't necessarily. To give you an example, my cousin and I are both of white western european ethnicity. However we have very different cultures and somewhat different language and food, as I grew up in England and he grew up in the US. What he calls soccer I call football, he celebrates Thanksgiving whereas I celebrate Bonfire Night, and he has this strange belief that peanut butter and jelly (or jam as I'd call it) is an appropriate sandwich filling. Culturally, I have far more in common with Paterson Joseph even though we are of different ethnicities.
