aha. i'd always wondered why americans looked so
unlike english people : relatively shallow set eyes,
wide mouths and often quite sharply angled noses,
against the english who often have deep set eyes,
small mouths and either shallow angled noses or snubs
or ski slopes ( of course i'm conflating celtic and
anglo features here ). ( and freckles seem to be quite
rare in the states, tho it may just be that freckled
people don't make it onto tv or films that often )

i'd always put it down to the dutch influence, so i
suppose i wasn't far off

bn

( who is genuinely interested in the spread of
ethnotypical characteristics, rather than just
prejudiced ! )
