They banned me then claimed I couldn't take it there and that is why I wouldn't reply, when the real reason was because I was BANNED. A bunch of fools. I think I look pretty european in these photos here, they would be mad if they saw them! :p

ItalicRoots is a small forum, it has only 23 members. And since it's hosted on a free platform, lefora.com, I guess one should just gather evidence of insults and report it to lefora.com. They'll probably shut it down.

[Sikeliot]

With all the times they call me a transsexual and making crude posts about Minard and I being fuck buddies (which we aren't.. he's straight!) it should not be hard.

[KawaiiKawaii]

You look Blasian with a touch of YT and a little bit of Red Skin. Your eyes also make me think that one of your ancestor was a Maori. You're pentaracial.

Lmao, you don't look mestizo by any stretch of the imagination. Certainly not triracial. If you were paler with blue eyes you'd look kind of like me, tbh. You look like a typical American of mixed Euro ancestry. If I didn't know your makeup and had to guess I'd say Italian, French, German or something

[de Burgh II]

Just don't take it to heart. Half the people here make "who is whiter" threads is narrow-minded in the sense when pigmentation is only one aspect of it. If anything you have a strong Caucasoid phenotype. Cro-magnon to be exact by the looks of it.

You look berid. I don't see mestizo at all.
First thing is your skin colour. I have never seen a mestizo with that skin colour. Even the lightest don't come close to that shade. Your hair texture has to much "body". Meaning that mestizos usually have very thin hair follicles. Yeah don't see it.

[Highlands]

Your eyes are a bit exotic, but I think you can pass in the Balkans :)

[JoeyGee8688]

Some mestizos may look somewhat like you, but those are mestizos who express European traits dominantly in their phenotype, with minimal Indian traits. Don't worry; some people may think you're a Mexican from a distance, but anyone who's anyone will be able to tell you're not.

Not in Kansas, over here they would think he is middle eastern. In Cali they would think he is Mexican or maybe middle eastern. In Cali the sterotypical italian male is Joe Pesci or Don Corleone.

[Han Cholo]

It's far preferable to look like a mestizo than to look like the self-complexed guidos from jersey shore that inhabit that place.

[Foxy]

I would take you for Balkanian although I have seen also southern Italians (especially Apulians) with similar look.

Who is the classifier? :ftomato:

[Sikeliot]

Apulians have a Balkan look often, that's why :lol: They have more recent Greek input than the rest of southern Italy, as well as ancient Illyrian.

[Ianus]

Recent Greek input? Perhaps only in Salento, but it's disputed.

Well Illyrian input in Apulia would make them closer to mainland Greeks also.

Illyrians were an ethnic group, not a a racial group and were different from Greek.

[Peter Nirsch]

I have just seen that website, they spoke even about me. Those people are hysterical. :laugh2:
they spend their lives supervising every post written in The Apricity. I think they don't have a social life, poor guys.

a question: where do you think is now Peyrol the Italian moderator?

[Sikeliot]

Illyrians were an ethnic group, not a a racial group and were different from Greek.

But they were similar. Albanians and Greeks today are genetically similar.

Yes. It is.

[Trogdor]

You don't look tri-racial or Mestizo to me.

[wvwvw]

Illyrians were an ethnic group, not a a racial group and were different from Greek.

The Epirotes that went to Apulla were not Albanians but Greeks. In fact Albania was inhabited by Greek Epirotes. Do you think the Martians abducted them and replaced them with Illyrians? Albanians today have a lot more Greek and Thracian ancestry than Illyrian. They are a mix and they are not particularly Illyrian. Illyrians were a much more Northern Group than either Thracian, GrecoPelasgians etc. This is also Reflected in the genetics of Albanians.

My post from another thread: I am reporting this:

Lets not forget that the Latins knew the Greeks very well. Already from the 11th century BC when the Greki migrated to Southern Italy. And who were the Greki? They were a sub division of the tribe of Selloi, keepers of Dodona in Epirus. Certainly they weren't "Illyrians".

Apulia was inahbitated by Illyrians not by Greek, apart some solonies in some parts of the region. Most names of Apulian cities like Bari, Brindisi, Otranto are of Illyrian origin.

Ancient Epirus was full of Greeks. Modern Albania is filled with cities that Greeks founded, so how exactly was Illyrian? Incidentally Epirus is called by Ancient writers "Archegoni" or "Ancient Greece" because it was the proto-Greek area.

I just showed you proof that shows the opposite. I am not disputing that Illyrians have Settled in Italy, I am disputing the fact that the Epirotes that went to Italy were Illyrians.

[wvwvw]

But phenotypically different.

And you look like Sicilian, far from "Illyrian" Judging from the depictions of Ancient Illyrians.

No because you try to depict Greeks are some Alien looking people and exotic while in fact yourself look as Turkish as youcan get. And no I am not gonna let you de-Hellenize our history to suit your agenda. You're the Italian version of Fyromians.

This simply isn't true though.

Greeks and Italians are together in a lot of ways that Iberians are not. Here is how I see the med

Iberians look like their own people but Sardinians can often look like them too, just Sardinians look a bit different obviosly. Also, some S French really look Iberian. S Italians and Greek Islanders are VERY MUCH alike and even mainland Greeks are similar, just a bit north shifted, so in ways, they are more similar to Albanians and Bulgarians.

Why is this such a big deal? It's the truth. The Med is a VERY diverse place despite what people claim here. Just do the genetic research and you will see there is even GREAT diversity within the Balkans alone!

[Peter Nirsch]

[MINARDOWICZ]

Man, you really should stop with this shtick. It's not like you haven't posted evidence that directly contradict your claims before.

No I haven't dont such a thing. Are you that dull minded? ALL (even peer reviewed) cluster charts show Iberians and Greeks worlds apart and Greeks closer to Italians. Get over it.

[Drawing-slim]

This post (as far as virtual world supremacy) it totally correlates with your current avatarxD

[MINARDOWICZ]

I thought we were talking phenotype wise.

And I remember you posting studies on sicilians and, true to your mouthbreathing and oxygen-deprived brain, they turned out to prove conclusively that more than 90% of their admixture was dated to the neolithic and the early to late bronze ages.

The "Beitel is a girl" part also comes to mind.

In general I want to inform people not to take you seriously. Asking you for anthro/genetics stuff is like asking a meth addict for insurance advice.

Look I have said some crazy things but a lot of what I post makes sense. You hardly post ANYTHING that is important on this forum just smartass comments. What is your purpose here? I actually agree with Italicroots on one thing, like when they named you MrPhallus.

[MINARDOWICZ]

I did contribute mostly in the genetics subforum but it's a ghosttown of sorts. Still better than disinfo and the kind of quality minardposts that make IQ drop to room temperature levels.

Also, where was I mentioned in IR?

Have you not been reading? Look, I haven't attacked you from the start. Maybe I wouldn't insult you if you weren't such a jerk. K? Just keep your insults to yourself and I won't insult you. If you wanna insult, go ahead. I will be a jerk right back to you...

As far as genetics goes have you not seen ANY of my recent posts? I have made many posts on autosomal DNA and compared europeans from the Balkans to eachother. I don't see any misinformation in these posts and it shows something people have been arguing about on here. You should be glad I posted it, because it shows Greeks and Bulgarians differ and that Bulgarians plot between people from the North Balkans and Greeks.

What the fuck do I care about genetic plots? Not all of us are complexic ancient wannabees popping up champaignes everytime we prove genetic continuity to some old population. I haven't seen you post one smart or worthwhile thing.

Copy pasting data=/=offering any insight or actual sources.

Seriously, get the fuck out.

Relax yourself, you inbred imbecile. Since when am I talking about wanting to resemble a new world population? What on EARTH have you been smoking? I never said anything of that nature... Besides I never insulted you before you insulted me, to spur on such hateful comments. I recommend you get a life and stop worrying to much about things, bro.

They aren't that ridiculous. I have seen their thread about Southern Italians - they still clearly look Southern Euro and I don't think the cherrypicking is so severe. However, it is true they downplay the number of darker types among Italians and overstate them among Iberians, Greeks and Balkan people.

It's not as much posting light Italians... their threads of S Italians looked similar to people in my family so it seemed normal... but they post pictures of Semitic and african looking Iberians and post the same ones over and over... LOL! They post Iberians darker than Gujarati sometimes, due to burns, LOL! And they think that is not cherry picking? XD

[Porpolita]

They probably think Swedes are swarthier than Italians :lol:

Wait, this can't be true. Swedes are lighter than Italians!? :shocked:

I took a quick look at that Italic Roots forum and this is the impression I got. I agree the cherry picking was not too bad, maybe they just feel like they have to correct people who think all Southern Italians are exotic types. Still, I am not sure why people feel the need to downplay Mediterranean looks. Meds are often very attractive, at least I think so. Plus, the Med people have accomplished enough in history that they should not feel defensive about their place in the world.

Bottom line the Italians are mostly a med people... Genetically and culturally speaking both. They have some near eastern and northern influences too though... I'd argue more near eastern than northern in the far south and Sicily and more northern than near eastern (no near eastern actually, when you go WAY north) as you go further north.

Yeah, that is basically true. I still prefer terms like Southern European and Romance European to describe Italy though, because I don't believe that there has been a unified Med culture since the Islamic conquests. Before that you could argue that the Med was unified by a common Greco-Roman civilization that did not even end in the West with the fall of the Western Roman Empire since the Germanic peoples wanted to be a part of Roman civilization, not destroy it. That is why the Franks, Ostrogoths, Visigoths, Lombards and others mostly assimilated and became Romance, except on the periphery (like the Rhineland, Danubian areas). Heck, even the Vikings assimilated (see Normans).

True. Culturally this is also important. Italy (even the south) is still culturally romance though some hellenic influences pop up too. My family from Campania would not be very culturally hellenic though, and just very much romance culturally.

P.S. you should see the graphic I made to make Italicroots members mad. This is mainly aimed at their Calabrese and Neapolitan members (among other southerners) and is meant to be a joke:

Actually they seem to be neutral to even friendly to Bulgarians and Albanians, there is a Bulgarian guy posting footballers (I got the idea about Bulgarian footballers thread from him and even used some of the pics), and they highlighted how much lighter they are than Iberians and Greeks and how they are woggified by Sikeliot.

Maybe it's because Bulgarians and Albanians on forum don't attack Italians and at the same time aren't constantly described as "British or Russian-looking".
