Portugal is said to have significant admixture of negro but I haven't ever seen clear traits of negro in someone from the country in spite of an investigative look. So maybe african looking portugeese can be presented here?

the characters do not make the genus, but the genus gives the characters -- Linnaeus
I think it would better to say insignificant admixture of Negro.
"Non-Mediterranean elements in the Portuguese population are rare and of little importance. A few Nordics are scattered throughout but are particularly concentrated in the north. Traces of Dinaric blood, as we have already seen, may likewise be found on the northern coast. ... On the whole, the absorption of Negroes by the Portuguese has had no appreciable effect on the racial composition of the country. Portugal remains, as it has been since the days of the Muge shell-fish eaters, classic Mediterranean territory."
