once again: Jonathan Frizzy > an Actor, my Bataknese fellow!

He's in Hong Kong to shoot a movie right now.
if there is no cross in his neck, most people will think he is minangkabau (padangnese). really! he more look like minangkabau or riau or palembangnese than batak. when i look at him somehow he look like my brother.
batak by default (common) is square head the skull type more look like negrito but the skin is like just other ethnic. only the skull type though.
just look at most the batak thugs around bus terminal in jakarta. they have short body, square head, flat nose and curly hair.
But not most batak like that feature as i describe above.
mandailing batak is different though, a lot of them has red yellowish skin and has tall body and succesful intelligent creature. not mentioned a lof indonesian famous writer and lawyer coming from mandailing folk.
