Henrik Larsson, former football (soccer) player. Half Swedish on his mothers side, his father is from Cape Verde.

Cultural swede

He has some black in his genes

[29clepayJainync]

Does anyone know if Larsson identifies himself as Swedish?

[Wavgbtif]

Does anyone know if Larsson identifies himself as Swedish?

I would guess so. And I also think Swedes generally consider him as Swedish, even though he is only 50 % Swedish genetically.

I think he is more Swedish than for example Zlatan Ibrahimovic although he is darker and looks less like an indigenous European.

[paypaltoegold1]

Aren't they already mixed in Cape Verde with wog Europeans? If so, he barely qualifies as a mulatto.

I think he has the right to identify with Sweden, since at least 50% of his ancestry comes from Scandinavia. Genetically speaking, and also phenotype-wise, he's not an ideal representative of the indigenous Scandinavian-Swedish population. Shit, I look more Swedish than he does, and I'm not Swedish.

But I believe he'd cluster fairly close with Europe on a genome-wide SNP test.

Well Henke does see himself as a swede? Doesn't children with coloured backgrounds who get adopted also share Henkes views on their nationalities? Look at that neo-nazi that fought in Croatia he was a nigger.. What was his name? Jacky Arklöv?

[agiopwer]

Yes


Just like I consider John Carew to be all Norwegian.

[neotheMit]

Boo hoo!

[18holesin]

Only from a Cultural point of view.

[Gerribase]

Pushkin is also seen as a full Russian. He looked more European, admittedly.

Anyway, phenotype plays a role I guess, but he has the Swedish heritage and I don't know how much cultural baggage he has received from his mother's side. On another forum there used to be a half-Peruvian, half-Flemish guy who insisted on calling himself 'allochtonous'. I used to make fun of him by calling him a 'brown face', only twice though and jokingly (making his claim to be a foreigner, being raised by his mother, I was mocking mainly that). It made him hate me. He's also a type who always mixes his native language with English to an annoying extent (typical of gamers).

In my opinion he can be seen as fully Swedish if his culture is fully Swedish, that is what the topic is about. If you have eye for the heritage of your parental and environmental culture you have the potential to be fully I think, even with foreign influences.

I don't consider him to be Swedish, but most Swedes do so whatever. Zlatan is a different story, though.

[DailyRingtone]

he does not look swedish but i see him as swedish

zlatan looks more swedish yet i do not see him as a swede,so it is not all about the looks i guess

[panholio]

Yes


Just like I consider John Carew to be all Norwegian.

Oh shit I was crazy back then, anyway I'd consider the guy to be part Swedish as he is.


I can't figure out why did even think that, must have been a case of delirium... :/

You don't consider Carew to be fully Norwegian anymore? If that's the case: why?

[Salliter]

He is only half Norwegian.



Lol I can't remember even making that post, because I can't remember a time where I considered him fully Norwegian.

Yes.
He is half Swedish by blood.
He also has the right to call himself Cape Verdean
