Default CIA uses typology in 2011?
https://www.cia.gov/library/publicat.../geos/sp.html#

Nationality:

noun: Spaniard(s)
adjective: Spanish

Ethnic groups:

composite of Mediterranean and Nordic types So what's the deal? Dividing Spaniards in two ethnic categories, "Nordic" and "Mediterranean"?

Also Portugal:

https://www.cia.gov/library/publicat...k/geos/po.html

homogeneous Mediterranean stock; citizens of black African descent who immigrated to mainland during decolonization number less than 100,000; since 1990 East Europeans have entered Portugal What do you think about the CIA supposedly using old school physical anthropology?

They count Mestizos and Whites as the same thing when it comes about Chile

They have a habit of doing this. I believe this reflects American Census practices. Many Hispanic mestizos are tossed into the white category after tabulation when they simplify the data.

That means people like this could never be traced by the CIA

Portugal: homogeneous Mediterranean stock

I don't know their percentage and i'm pretty sure you don't as well. What i do know is that the portuguese aren't of an homogeneous mediterranean stock like it says on that link.

But you are going too far posting a pic of a man who looks straight Swedish to make a point

I actually posted two but i assume you are talking about the bullfighter. What exactly does this have to do with my point that we are not "homegeneous mediterranean"? I never said we were majority nordic at any point. Is this something so difficult to grasp?

Portugal is diverse, yes it is, but you cannot post a pic of the most Swedish-looking person you can find in Portugal to make a point...

I've seen that in other places. The old versions of the Almanac, for example.

This is making something out of nothing. Alex's posting history is known. He doesn't have an absurd agenda.

The site has a lot of "security stuff", so to speak. It might be the browser...
