I've seen more whitish Mexicans who can pass as Italian than I have Puerto Ricans, actually. However, most of the recent waves of Mexicans have been from the south of the country and heavily Amerindian, so obviously they stand out. They stand out in the northeast US too since we have few Mexicans and few pure Amerindians.

I'm already aware of this, thanks for reminding me once again. Christians aren't an ethno-religious community, they're just a religious community. Ethno-religious communities are Jews, Zoroastrians, Mandaeans, Druze, Yazidis and Samaritans. Muslims and Christians are just religious, not ethno-religious. Also, sorry, but the data doesn't lie.

And I'm quite sure in science there are people who have different genetic results. You need to understand that not everyone within a given country has the same DNA. If this is the case, why do they have different admix results and different results on the oracles? If Fairy is half Bedouin her father would cluster with them instead of the Druze.

I honestly don't think so. Even if they were that does not negate them being native to the land. Based on ethnic identifications Bedouins usually don't identify as Palestinians and see themselves culturally different. I know a Copt who clusters with Bedouins, what is the rational behind this.

Northern Syria is traditionally Mesopotamia, and the Southern areas are extension of Arabia this has been since ancient times. Even today the population is divided like this genetically. Southern Syrians often shorter, darker skinned, less hairy, and are gracile look like Bedouins from Arabia basically what they are. Northern Syrians are taller, lighter, and more hairy.

They are neither short nor dark but im assuming you live in the East Coast because of your mention of Italians and Puerto Ricans. The mexicans in that area come from Puebla and Oaxaca, they tend to be of Native American background which is why majority of the mexicans in that area speak an indigenous language. Now of course they wont look like Puerto Ricans, the Puerto Ricans in that area are mostly mulattoes and tercerones, they have obvious negroid features. The mexicans in the Southwest are pred. European on average being on the harnizo range which is around 60% European.

I guess but there is one main thing that is different from an italian and Latino is italians without a doubt have larger noses.

What did you provide again? Ah, nothing.
Your initial objection was pointless to begin with, since I had only defined the west-east expanse of Anatolia, the latitude. And not the north-south expanse, the longitude.



Peninsula forming the western extremity of Asia. It is bounded by the Black Sea to the north, the Mediterranean Sea to the south, and the Aegean Sea to the west. Its eastern boundary is generally marked by the southeastern Taurus Mountains.

so basically western turks on the border to Greece would appear more European than turks living in eastern Turkey. Makes sense. Maybe that is where my neighbor is from? Never really asked him but will out of curiosity.

I would think so some western turks are prob ethnic Greeks going back to Byzantine times.
