Neither I think, but I'd pick the one on the right.

Thanks. Anyone else?

The one on the left looks German as hell, he would not pass. Even when some southern Italians look almost German, it's never a Borreby/Faelid type.

The one on the right.

If you didn't agree with me when I said I could see the Sicilian in Britney Spears, I am unsure how you think the guy on the left even has a snowball's chance of passing in southern Italy.. he barely even can pass in the north.

I made this poll to see whether people thought that a very blond guy or a very swarthy guy would pass more easily in Southern Italy, given how much Italian forum users get touchy when people point out the significant proportion with not-so-milky-white skin. Regarding the very swarthy guy, he is a rare exotic type, though such types are slightly more common in Wales (and SW England) than in the rest of the UK.

The one on the right easier but I would rather lean into the last option: neither.

That is not "very swarthy" for southern Italian standards, but it's darker than average. The blonde would be seen as a tourist.

Either you are Polish or you are racially confused. Hell, no one of them looks German!

Well whatever the one on the left looks, he cannot pass as a native Sicilian -- and that says A LOT since nearly every look can be found there, to some extent.

Yeah then don't put the name of my country in your ignorant mouth and next time use your brain before you spread bullshit :)
