'OMG, is that a Swede that does not look completely stereotypically Scandinavian? Surely some Walloon miner arrived in the 19th century in him/her.' Why are they like this.

Actually they came here in the 17th century and today the conservative estimate is that there are at least 100k Walloon descendants in Sweden.
>>214200639
Could also be descendants of Hanseatic Germans >In Stockholm, German (Hanseatic) merchants wielded substantial influence. By the 1600s, half of both the population and city council members were German.
>>214200728
yes and we are all related to charlemagne, it means fuck all
it's american tier wewuzzery obsessing over a tiny minority that completely vanished into the polulation

It's just a ~1% chance that the Swede you talk to has Walloon blood. It's not that much really.
And also, looking from the outside the only difference between Walloons and Flemoids is the language.

but aren't everyone else "shitskin" from a swede POV?
I've heard once that in the middle age in Sweden, some people would die their hair darker because the German nobility was darker haired while the Swedish peasantry was very blond, so being darker haired was associated with nobility

I went up to visit my grandmother's brother this summer. Really nice dude, but he had some comments about me having the light brown hair of my grandfather and basically being a mutt because I don't have the blonde hair of his side of the family. He's not even a nazi, he's been a communist for all his life.

This guy, a German, was bullied and called a nigger as a kid because he had brown eyes, so he decided to shoot a couple of real niggas with a laser sighted pistol. I tend to agree that people with brown eyes aren't white, though, but it's not the only measurement to decide whiteness

Dutch and French don't look the same (by that I mean, people from France and from Holland), but Europe is a spectrum, Belgium is in between that spectrum. Basically generic western european with various influences.
People saying "flemish look like this and walloons look like that" are just selective biasing.
>>214217877
people's apparence are not clear cut, they are in a spectrum. People geographically close won't look too different
If you take a northern frenchman and a southern dutchman, they don't belong to wildly different groups.
Belgium is just inbetween that. The typical Dutch look (let's say Louis Van Gaal) is northern Dutch and will look different from anyone in Belgium
>>214217877
I don't know if it's related but France and French anong whites don't have the same look.
You can fin very blond people, very ginger people, very dark haired people etc.
And I think it's the same in Belgium or Dutchland. Dutch people are not all blond
>>214218164
Its just nonsense thoughts I have, its not important to me and Im not a blond hair worshipper or something like that. In fact I like the kind of phenotypical diversity you describe.
is it seriously normal for a swede to know what a walloon is? its crazy how much swedes suck up to southernes. Norway is the only real Nordic country left
>>214219105
Swedes are very continental Europeans despite being Nordics. France has a big history with them. A Swedish noble fucked Marie Antoinette. A French soldat from Napoleon time became King of Sweden etc.
That's why they are more powerful than you. They are Nordic with the force of continental Europe
>>214219305
If you could magically merge french architecture with swedish vast nature you would get rivendell. Arent the normans mostly of norweagian descent from their nordic side though?
>>214219105
It's because people jokingly (most of the time, probably) say swarthy people are related to Walloons. This has the potential to spawn off retardation in the replies, but that's it.
>>214219305
Bernadotte was also King of Norway. There is a huge statue of him infront of the Norwegian Royal palace. He was the one who built it. >>214219875
Normans were most likely Danes

Nah she is the descendant of a BBC black bull from mother Africa who sailed with the moors or some shit and dominated the women in Scandinavia impregnating multitudes with his virile seed
