Most dutch and north-west german are undishtingable from swedes if we substract the baltid influence in sweden imo. So they can pass for non baltid/baltid influenced swedes all the way. |

I believe the Swedish anthropologists used to blaim the Southern Swedes supposedly being more "brachycephalic and brown-eyed" ("Alpine") on German immigration. And you are of course correct about the last part. But they are/will soon be counted as "native Swedes" in the statistics. An Icelander, a Finn and a Norwegian in Sweden is different from a Somali refugee or a MENA, many of them here since the 90s, your logic is ridiculous.. while the other three Nordic groups we share an ancient history with similar ethnic backgrounds.. |

I doubt Gypsies and Jews were never counted as Swedes AFAIK, then why would they? They have a deeper different culture and appearance. |

To answer the title of this post, I would define ethnicity as a group sharing blood, a common language, and culture (religion, marriage habits, political views, etc.)
It depends how much and what kind of other blood is involved; I would not consider a half-Somali as a Swede. I would though see how a half-Finn half-Swede is Swedish, since both groups are quite similar in origins. |
