Not the Bulgarians I met :D
Although, since we are all Slavs...maybe my perception is skewed.

In parts of Bulgaria, a lot of the people have a lot of Turkish blood from way back. Turkish + Slavic seems like a pretty good mix, at least from my point of view. (I tend to find most Romanians and Hungarians to be generally... unappealing to look at.)

[Hama]

Well yeah. I went to Budapest two years ago. I recall people looking kind of....off. I can't explain it. Like their faces dipped into the uncanny valley.

Wait, what?

Not Slavic, and I'm used to Slavic people. So non-Slavic facial structure feels kinda weird.

I will look quite uncanny to you then. I'll make sure I have my x men uniform on.

[Hama]

I don't have a problem with anglo-saxon, germanic or gaelic facial structure. Been to France and Germany and England. Just Hungaro-finnish for some reason. And only men. Weird, I know.

[Freehold DM]

I fit into none of those categories.

I don't want the weird 90s yellow/dark blue outfit with butt floss, maybe the old new mutants outfit, yeah...

[Hama]

Snazzy leather?

What category do you fit in?

[Freehold DM]

Anglo people of any sort have not shown up in my family in a great many years, as I am of African and Caribbean decent.

Interestingly, Finno-Uralic populations tend to have the highest % Neanderthal DNA (4-5%, as opposed to general 2-3% for Caucasians), so there might actually be some atavistic reason for that.

Modern sub-Saharan Africans have 0% except through non-African ancestry, so I guess Freehold is more human than either you or I.

Modern Asians and especially Pacific Islanders have some 3-5% Denisovian DNA (another archaic non-Homo sapiens sapiens population).

Although my mom and grandmother and great grandmother are pale due to my great great-grandfather who was listed as "mulatto". So maybe I am not as superhuman as I think I am.

Just more human than you.

Explains the Whedon hate :D

Spoiler:

untold thousands of years ago, the being that would one day come to be known as Joss Whedon was a simple hunter, and a valued part of his tribe. One night, a meteorite fell from the heavens, crash landing in front of Whedon and his small troupe. His fellows were frightened off by the strange glowing rock, but whedon was made of sterner stuff, and slept near the rock as it radiated warmth and the night was bitterly cold. Whedon awoke the next morning infused with cosmic power, especially the speech centers of his brain. Using his near hypnotic suggestion abilities, whedon quickly took over as leader of his tribe. But he found that he was not infallible, as there were those who were not listening to his voice regularly and thereby were not susceptible to his abilities, and was eventually overthrown. The radiations of the meteorite giving him unnaturally long life and resistance to disease and privation, whedon lived as a wanderer for a time, trading occasional necessities in exchange for a story. Whedon discovered in experimentation that the tales he told didn't need to be particularly good so long as they were uniform in length, and in his listeners became even more encorselled if his stories contained cliffhangers promising resolution in roughly a week's time. Avoiding leadership roles and thereby scrutiny, Whedon existed for ages, seeing entire civilizations rise and fall, always posing as a wandering storyteller of some sort. Travelling the world, he found new and different tales from numerous civilizations, weaving them into a surprisingly uninspired melange he could nonetheless recall from memory at a moment's notice. Understandably preferring a comfortable if not opulent life, Whedon found some fame as an actor working in England around the time of Shakespeare, but a romantic misadventure resulted in a broken leg and an ironic sort of infamy, souring his attitude towards the stage. Finding himself in Italy in the 1920s, Whedon attempted to use his abilities over radio waves, only to be disappointed as he discovered that he needed to make eye contact with his audience use his powers. Despondent over this and the rise of damaging nationalistic fervor, Whedon headed to America, where he discovered a new medium of communication- television. Here he could make eye contact and use his abilities to their fullest, but around the time of World War 2 the council on unamerican activities was scrutinizing all broadcast closely, and whedon wisely decided to avoid the organization's overreach and potential exposure. Time passed and Whedon discovered a strange love of the American people and their geographically broad society- he could disappear here easier than he could elsewhere, and theirs was a culture only partially familiar with his tales. Once peace reigned in the world for the most part, Whedon attempted to get into the television world again, but found that the modern television set was too much like a theatrical stage for his liking. He tried script writing instead, and found he could be in the vicinity of the audience and actors and most importantly the camera without attracting too much attention. Using several lifetimes worth of makeup skills and no small amount of sotto voce, Whedon quietly inserted himself into the background of many shows he worked on. As he became more professionally recognized and went from writer to director, he became a force in the world again, using his abilities when necessary to gain some unique prize, personal goal, or simply lifestyle maintenence. To this day he spins his tired tales to audiences all over the world via television and Internet, who are none the wiser to his presence. He has gotten sloppy of late due to some great successes, and a few people who are slightly resistant to his abilities have noticed his seeming unending television dominance. Using his abilities to create slavish devotion in those who watch his shows, he is content to use his army to discredit any who question his presence on the airwaves.He wonders if they are not resistant but immune, and what this may mean for him and his apparently unending existence.

Not sure if anyone else caught it, but the Uncanny Valley is a very interesting theory about human (or human like) appearance and how we react to it.

Uncanny valley

I also should give a mention to my favorite podcast - "Yeah, it's that bad". I first heard the term on their Polar Express review episode.

Went over the Comrades' to plan our communist activity for the rest of the month and Mrs. Comrade 's all like "Look at you, Mr. Flirtypants!" I blush and ask "You think it's working?" "Ohmygod, how can you even ask? Where'd you get so good at that?" "I've been practicing for the last couple of years on Paizo."
