    Yeah, they are.



    The Moors were the medieval Muslim inhabitants of the Maghreb, Iberian Peninsula, Sicily and Malta.

    The Moors invaded the Iberian Peninsula in 711 and called the territory Al-Andalus, an area which at different times comprised Gibraltar, most of Spain and Portugal, and parts of Southern France. There was also a Moorish presence in what is now Southern Italy, primarily in Sicily. They occupied Mazara on Sicily in 827 and in 1224 were expelled to the settlement of Lucera, which was destroyed in 1300. The religious difference of the Moorish Muslims led to a centuries-long conflict with the Christian kingdoms of Europe called the Reconquista. The Fall of Granada in 1492 saw the end of the Muslim rule in Iberia.
    Depiction of three Moorish knights found on Alhambra's Ladies Tower
    Castillian ambassadors attempting to convince Moor Almohad king Abu Hafs Umar al-Murtada to join their alliance (contemporary depiction from The Cantigas de Santa Maria)

    The term "Moors" has also been used in Europe in a broader sense to refer to Muslims,especially those of Arab or Berber descent, whether living in Spain or North Africa. During the colonial years the Portuguese introduced the names "Ceylon Moors" and "Indian Moors", in Sri Lanka. The Bengali Muslims were called Moor. Moors are not a distinct or self-defined people. Medieval and early modern Europeans applied the name to Arabs, Berbers, Muslim Europeans and Sub-Saharan Africans.

    The Moors came from the North African country of Morocco and crossed the Strait of Gibraltar to get into the Iberian Peninsula. The Moors were initially of Arab and Berber descent at the time of the Umayyad conquest of Hispania in the early 8th century, but later came to include people of mixed heritage, and Iberian Christian converts to Islam were known by the Arabs as Muwalladun or Muladi.

    In the languages of Europe, a number of associated ethnic groups have been historically designated as "Moors". In the modern Iberian Peninsula, "Moor" is sometimes colloquially applied to any person from North Africa, but some people consider this usage of the term pejorative, whether in the Spanish version "moro", or in the Portuguese version "mouro".

    It's not always the case if we're talking about Caucasoid N. Africans. They are way closer to Southern Europeans than, say, Chinese or Koreans.

    These two are the most used terms on TA, and this tradition is becoming popular every day lol South Euros are considered as Moors, and East Euros and some North Euros considered as Mongols. Although, I'd choose Mongols in anyways

    10% of Mongoloid will hardly impact your phenotype, now 20% of Moorish blood will dramatically make one looks uneuropean.

    Mongols, they usually do not mix with other races.
