The typical Polish look, or all Eastern Europeans [656]
I found Switezianka's post the best because it was the most objective and believable.
As for everyone generalizing Americans in this thread... I am of Polish descent but born & raised here in the USA. However, genetically, there is no such thing as an American unless you are talking about indigenous peoples (whom are descended from Eastern Asians). Since this thread is about GENETIC characteristics, talking about how Americans don't look like Poles is irrelevant.
(In addition, generalizing 2/3 of Americans as fat is inappropriate and insulting. To the people running their mouths about this... You have many Polish cousins who live in America, were maybe even born and raised here. It's not very nice to insult us like that, and not only that, it can give Americans a very negative opinion about Europeans. Americans already feel that Europeans are overly judgmental, and statements like "2/3 of them are fat" only lends to this opinion. We are not all fat. Please see the thread I created in the Poland Genealogy forum and you'll see what I mean!)
