What is the ethnic group of Norway?

In: History, Politics & Society [Edit categories]

Answer:

The ethnic Norwegians are of the Germanic/Nordic race (Isn't that obvious?). We are often mixed with Hispanics due to trade a while ago, so many Norwegians have brown hair, although light brown/dark blonde seems to be the most usual.

There are also some Lapps here who can call themself Norwegian, I think. And Gypsies and such. Lately there has come immigrants from non-European countries, I think we have from 2 - 5% of them.
