As a whole, do Syrians or Venezuelans look more European?

Let us discuss.

Don't post these SLANDEROUS threads, TC. Syrians are far too fair to fit in Europe, while some darker Venezuelans have a chance at passing in South Italy (Black).

Average Venezuelan

Average Syrian

Spoiler!

This is how I feel every one of these threads goes...

Syrians

[alnortedelsur]

Syrians might be more uniformly Caucasian overall, in contrast to Venezuelans, who vary a lot from zambo/griffes or Amerindian and heavily Amerindian mixed people to full European or heavily European mixed people and everything in between (mestizos and triracials in diverse proportions).

Venezuela has a lot of very dark/non-European people (too black admixed, too Amerindian mixed or both), that are genetically further away from Europeans than any Syrian, but then...

Venezuelans have a considerable white and Euro-mestizo segment of its population whose Caucasian blood is European and are racially and culturally way closer to Europeans than any Syrian.

So when all factors are balanced out, both in equal measure then?

Syrians are a mostly swarthy, non - European Caucasoid people of Western Asia. While modern Venezuelans are a multicultural and multiracial people. Thus, there is no foundation for a discussion. All I could say is that the Venezuelans of predominantly European descent look more European than any Syrian. Remember Syrians have their own Middle Eastern looks as well. Why you have to do is to compare White Venezuelans vs Syrians. The answer is pretty obvious, who looks European.

My guess is that they might be both in equal measure when balancing everything out.

Now, if we only talk about white and castizo Venezuelans (and maybe harnizos too), those Venezuelans are way closer in looks to Europeans than Syrians.

Since some venezuelans are fully european I'd say the latter.

But aren't Syrians overall more Caucasoid than Venezuelans overall? In any event, although the majority of Syrians are too dark and Arabid to pass even in Turkey, all the same there is a notable majority with a generic Mediterranean look to probably at least the same percentage that can be found among Venezuelans (taking into account the whole population).

Aren't Venezuelans of Levantine descent usually seen as White themselves?
