Especially girls, they have this pseudo Eastern Euro look like e.g. Natalie Dormer, which is quite common. The same is true for the Irish.
She could easily fit in Russia, Belarus, Ukraine etc

All it takes is a slightly wider face than normal.

Because pure ethnicities and races exists only idealistically.

It's more of a Central European look, I don't think they look East European. It is continental Germanic input.

The same reason you get British looking Eastern Europeans. Because there is variation in phenotype within the British population and Eastern European populations.
So you get some overlap.

I think more Eastern Euros have a pseudo-British look than the other way around. But I do see a lot of Brits who look to me mixed with some Polish or Ukrainian at times.

I don't think that they look East Euro at all. In fact I've never seen an East Euro looking Brit. There are a lot of "sub tribes" in Britain that have distinct looks maybe you guys confuse those for East Euro looks.

She could look slovakian, too. East europe is not all the same, she definitely would not fit into browngaria.

Because all Northern Europeans from Ireland to Russia have basically the same genetic pool and min. 90% of people from any Northern European country can easily fit in any other Northern European country.

Just no. While it is true that ALL Europeans - even groups as distinct from each other as e.g. Swedes and Maltese - do have some overlap with each other, having seen lots of Eastern European immigrants in the UK in recent years, in particular from Poland, I can generally tell the difference, especially in the eyes and cheekbones.

Daniel Craig and Tom Hardy give me an Eastern European vibe. I can't remember anyone else in particular.

Eastern European makes as much sense as Western European stretching from Norwegian Lappoid to Sicilian Armenoid.

She could easily fit in Russia, Belarus, Ukraine etc The reason is mass steretypes about facial features of some population or nation.
for eastern europe it is soft facial lines and lihgt coloures.
