Tbh I dunno how the "Slavs and Adidas" meme came to be. Adidas are a major sports brand all over Europe. In every country you'll find people wearing Adidas and also brands.

Some Portuguese people have rather nice naturally tanned skin as well, though. I've only been to Italy once when I was young and don't encounter Italian tourists often in my country, but I don't think Italians on average are more tanned or less than Portuguese people? Can't say I've noticed a pattern.
A stereotype people have about people who live south of Austria/Switzerland is that they're all rather tanned. But that's because people tend to notice those kinds of people the most. Just liek if I go to The Netherlands I'll notice the super tall people the most. Lots of people are pale or have a normal skin tone here. That's more evident if you come here during colder months, where obviously no one is hitting the beach.
That being said, even when we're pale as hell we're not as pale as some Irish and British people are. Jesus, I'm pretty pale already and many people from Ireland and the UK are EVEN paler than I am. How don't they get skin cancer by the time they're 20?
