Since when do you care for Blood, Sweat & Tears,
Holländer? I'm baffled.

"I hate to break it to you, but there is no such thing as a Dutch look (nor German). I think we already established that once and for all, some 78 years ago ..."
What was - fortuitously - knocked severely about back then was the perverse belief that there is some kind of a pecking order of ethnicities/"races" (there is only one human race). Unfortunately it wasn't dealt a death blow back then or we wouldn't have had to bother with Apartheid all the way up to the 90ies, Hutus and Tutsis (or Serbs and Bosnians) slaughtering each other or with Han Chinese treatment of Uyghurs today.
But sure there (still) are national looks, don't you agree? Not in a sense that everyone there then looks that way, but that a sizable chunk of the population in question shares certain features. Dutch(wo)men are on the average taller than Italians and there are less (non-bottled) blonde's in Italy than in Sweden, people living in Mediterranean states generally have a darker complexion than people in Germany and there are probably more people in Afghanistan with dark hair, yet blue eyes than anywhere else in the world, more Greeks with curly hair than Germans too. Of course that is all changing through migratory mixing (and that is a good thing, I abhor the preservation of 'racial' purity, people aren't animals whose DNA has to be protected against "dilution" on biodiversity grounds - even in the animal world, I think that invasive species are in essence evolution doing its core job, any species will always try to enlarge its geographical expanse given the opportunity).
But national physical traits still do exist and will continue to do so though in, say, a few more centuries many parts of the world will have a very mixed DNA with lots of ethnic components stirred together. Which is perfectly fine.
You still don't look very Dutch, Rob, but others from your neck of the
woods dams & dikes do! Adrian Vandenberg looks Dutch as hell.
PS: In the latish 80ies - it still existed then - I paid (in the literal sense, there was
Zwangsumtausch, mandatory minimum curreny conversion when you entered because their own currency was worth shit) my first visit to the German Democratic Republic ---> East Germany. By then, they had begun looking different from us West Germans or to be exact we had begun looking different to them due to all of the migratory influences we as West Germans had experienced (and mostly benefited from!) in the 50ies, 60ies, 70ies and 80ies. East Germany had been pretty much secluded for four decades. There were simply a lot less dark-haired, curly-haired, dark-complexioned or Asian ancestry people on the streets, I felt like I had been time-machined back to pre-war Germany, it was unsettling! In the Frankfurt area where I live, a majority of the population has by now a migratory background.
