Do North Africans have any overlap with Europeans?

North Africans imo, are a bit tricky since they can vary greatly between looks. I've seen some that look like Saudi's, but some that look West European.

Anyways, I said they can pass in Iberia, British Isles, Sicily, Malta, Balkans, Romania/Bulgaria.

Other than that I think there are some individuals you could fit in the rest, yes.

I think I said that because I've seen indivduals who are of British descent that looked NA for some weird reason. lol.

I can think of one(!) example.. an Irish woman I posted here once.

But otherwise I haven't seen many Brits who look North African at all.

I've seen a few British Islanders like that in real life, and then there as Scots-Irish poster on ABF who imo looked North African, there were a couple of others who agreed with me on that. haha.

Of all the groups you listed as places you could fit North Africans, if you had to choose just one or two that would be the closest fit which would it be? If you say Portugal I promise not to be offended

I wouldn't be offended then either.. is that what you'd choose?

I was just saying, if your honest choice would be Portugal, don't think you can't voice it just because of any lingering doubt that it could offend me. Some people on here can be intimidating to the point where it hinders others' confidence in voicing their opinion, but with me, anything goes.

Nah, Malta and Sicily are my honest choices. lol. Portugal would've came next though.

You obviously have never seen North-Africans. They can't pass anywhere in Europe, that's obvious to anyone who lives in Europe, in a place with significant north-african immigrants.
