    Default Where can ethnic Levantines pass in Europe?

    My last thread of the sort (since after all this is a European site, although this is somewhat European-related since the point of comparison is Europe).. but instead of posting individuals I may as well cover them as a general group.

    After finding these pictures I have come to the following conclusion; a group of Levantines would probably stand out amongst Europeans (even ones such as Maltese) because of the sheer frequency of such individuals who would not be typical together as a group, but individually you could take most of them for an atypical European of various kinds.

    And as usual I included a multiple choice poll.. so productive discussion and no arguing. Also, explain the differences and similarities you see.

    The pictures include Lebanese, Syrians, and Palestinians.

    You grouped the Finnic Estonians together with the Baltic Latvians/Lithuanians in the poll. You're evil.

    I don't think that poll option is all that useful to the discussion.. but to be fair I included everyone and given that I doubt anyone will actually bring up any of those countries in this thread, listing them separately isn't all that critical. But yes I acknowledge the linguistic and cultural differences between Estonians vs. Latvians/Lithuanians. up

    No you don't. Otherwise you wouldn't have thought that we are 3 completely identical ethnicities, but we just live in countries that have different names.

    But the education system in Italy and in Portugal isn't quite good, thus I don't blame you.

    Lebanon.

    To be fair she could actually fit in a number of Western European countries at that.. despite being an atypical case for her country of origin. Would you take her for foreign in Ireland?

    You sure she isn't just a French/Western resident of Lebanon?
