Look, I have visited both countries (in winter time). Here is my conclusion:
Spain has more exreme darker and lighter tipes. The greeks are more moderate. Most Greeks look something like Penelope Cruz. Some darker and some lighter. Though Spaniards are a little bit more diverse.
Antonio Banderas for example could pass for a very dark Greek, though he would clearly be a minority. A lot of Spaniards have this kind of features in Andalucia
On the other hand, a great deal of Spaniards can pass French or in some cases Germans........
You know what, forget it. It's not like we are trying to compare Swedes and Nigerians.

Antonio Banderas for example could pass for a very dark Greek, though he would clearly be a minority. A lot of Spaniards have this kind of features in Andalucia That´s not correct. When untanned, Banderas is actually lighter than Penélope Cruz. Just check out some of his early pictures, when he was shooting films with Pedro Almodóvar. He only started working on his tan to land stereotypical "latino" parts in Hollywood. Penélope is actually a bit on the dark side of the pigmentation spectrum for women in my country. Her father is from the Canary islands.

The claim that Jews run Hollywood is absurd. I think it's more accurate to say that American Jews are very prominent in the entertainment industry. Jews are overrepresented in most aspects of American culture: It's called hard work.
I'm sure you knew that already, though. Even if Jews did run Hollywood, what would motivate them to portray the Greeks in such a manner? That explanation makes no sense.

I don't think it is as much that the Jews run Hollywood as much as it is many of the people who run Hollywood are Jews. The first sounds like the entire Jewish ethnic group has a hand in Hollywood, while the second simply accounts for the fact that many of the high ranking people in Hollywood are of Jewish background.

Jews started the Hollywood film industry, and of course are still prominent in that field and in all media-related arenas. People point it out, and many complain that it is anti-Semitic to do so, but it is a fact. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

Like Josh mentioned, it's all about how you say it. If Jews actually had total control over Hollywood, Mel Gibson wouldn't be half as rich as he is now. The assertion that Greeks are erroneously portrayed because Jews control Hollywood is a ludicrous one.

Besides, even if Jews have a lot of influence in the entertainment industry, I would venture to say that they are one of the few ethnic groups that don't abuse their power to propagate their own personal agendas. There is no such thing as a vast Jewish Media conspiracy (except maybe in Hebrew Hammer) and unlike black movies, Jews don't make movies that appeal to only one type of people. I don't know what I'm saying, and I'm sure it doesn't make sense but Jews controlling Hollywood is a topic that comes up often, so those are just my thoughts about it all thrown out at the same time.

Well you can cut it anyway you want, it doesnt matter which way/ how you say it, as it doenst change a thing...The Jews Run Hollywood,they even created it. So yes they are the ones making all the dissisions and what have you.Thats the way it is and its a fact.
Now as far as this blond thing is concered....No one can really anwser this,much the same way some of you are blurting out remarks and blaming WASPs and Nordicists .Just Maybe these Hollywood jews have a thing for blonds,maybe they are Jewish nordicists or maybe they are trying to turn whites against eachother(i.e Zionism) Just a thought ! ;D

Mel Gibson also made The Passion outside hollywood and with private finacing,it was NOT studio backed or related.Remember Hollywood did its very best to put his Pasion film down,they didnt want anything to do with it.
It was only after it was a awesome success in the theaters and publicly did they start changing their story around.When your a success they love you,when your not they hate you.

We Joooooos positively love making Holocaust films! And pornography! /sarcasm off All jokes aside, I strongly agree with what you said. It's only when you criticize the Jews or Israel that we disagree (kidding again). And don't tell me you didn't enjoy White Chicks.

Point taken. The Passion was so inaccurate, it's not even funny. In my opinion the inaccuracies are what made it mildly anti-Semitic. Anyway, as much as I hated the movie, the score was amazing.
