north i mean hahaha

[glicine max]

seems that a lot of people has nothing better to do in their lives than open such threads,wasted lives ..

[Sikeliot]

He is Sicilian if anyone is wondering, I think his ancestry is from Syracuse.

[Leo Iscariot]

He is Sicilian if anyone is wondering, I think his ancestry is from Syracuse.

Yes, but he was born in Brooklyn's Little Italy and only lived a few years in Sicily before moving back to Brooklyn.

[Sikeliot]

Doesn't change his DNA.

[Leo Iscariot]

Doesn't change his DNA.

Not saying that, just being technical is all.

[Sikeliot]

He can also pass in Egypt I think

[Longbowman]

Atypical.

[Charles Bronson]

the roman slave traders did a good job.:cool:

[Seth MacFarlane]

Passes as Moroccan also

[Alessio]

I think he looks like one of the various Mediterranean phenotypes Southern Italy has to offer.

All this passing here and there has no value but he surely has a Southern Mediterranean vibe to him and is that so weird having ancestry from the largest island in the middle of the Mediterranean sea..?

[Trogdor]

I think he is definitely atypical.

So your one of those eh ? One of those arrogant self righteous users defending your country like it's under attack. So people said he looked north African big deal , why do you care ? You care because we are talking about your precious Italians ? Your acting like we are accusing your family of murder. South Italy is a melting pot there's some who look distinctively italian but there's others who look Balkan , greek , Iberian , jewish , levantine. Is it an insult to be associated with anyone other than Italians ?

Honestly I think you're the melting pot here and that you're falsely accusing me for something I've accused others on this forum of..

I actually don't understand this but whatever . All I know is you gave me thumbs down for saying he could pass in the Maghreb and you also said in another post that our posts have no vaue ? What value are you talking about ? Shut up

[Sikeliot]

You two agree more than you disagree so both of you stop it. This is silly.

[Ivan Kramskoï]

Can't pass in Europe, especially in the profile pic.

[Alessio]

I'm not the bully here - a thumb down is not the end of the world and it's not a justifiable reason for insulting someone before asking why the person in question (me) thumbed that person down (him) you know..

[Alessio]

I meant that talking about a certain Mediterranean phenotype that exists all over the Mediterranean doesn't solely need to get the green light to be able to pass in the Maghreb.

Vise versa almost no one ever says this about someone from either the Maghreb nor the Levant.

p.s you're being rude

[Alessio]

Can't pass in Europe, especially in the profile pic.

Why not ?

[Sikeliot]

He passes in Europe but only in selective places like southernmost Italy, Crete, Malta etc.

[Thunder_shock]

Those Neolithic genes STRONK!

Yea so if you think that it's pan med why did you thumb me down then ? Contradicting yourself there bro. And yes people do say this about people from the levant or Maghreb too. Look threw threads. They have atypical people. The only people who deny there's atypical mena people are self righteous mena users who try to white wash themselves into thinking central eastern euro people look mena. You wasn't here but I was having along thing about it with this mena user who is my friend when she said the girl looks mena because there's happens to be other ppl like that while everything single other poster said they look euro. Don't mean to argue with you but you made it seem like I said he looks African ameican . You say he looks south mediterean but then thumb down for saying he could pass in morocco ? Are you drunk or you just don't like me ?

[Ivan Kramskoï]

Why not ?
Just a feeling I have.
He looks foreign to my eyes.


He passes in Europe but only in selective places like southernmost Italy, Crete, Malta etc.
"Borderline Europe".
Honestly I am not familiar with those phenotypes.

[Sikeliot]

Omg just stop you two. You're generally on the same side of this whole debate.

[Alessio]

Maybe it's me being bombarded with Maghrebi phenotypes in daily life but besides the dark olive pigmentation, thicker lips and dark hair he looks Southern Italian to me and not 'Maghrebese'

[Alessio]

You're exaggerating a bit with the ''only in southernmost Italy'' because I've posted Neapolitans before with similar phenotypes.

Alright then that's the end of it. Its just that if he is as southern italain looking as you say he is other people wouldn't be replying to this thread but anyway have a good day buddy didn't mean to get into shit

[Alessio]

Sikeliot is most familiar with Southern Italian phenotypes (Googlewise) of all users here I think but he lacks knowing a lot of Maghrebis in real life so this influences his judgement

they can't pass in EUROPE.:cool:

[Sikeliot]

Southernmost Italy = Campania, Lucania, Apulia, Calabria and Sicily. Anyway he looks more Palestinian to me than Maghrebi.

[Alessio]

Woow you can really go deep on this issue man :ohwell::blink: I just thumbed you down because I don't agree he looks Maghrebi no matter what your intention was.

Do 2 beers count ? :)

[Alessio]

Great this is the definition people need to see>> thnx bro ! you're right about that he looks more Levantine than he does Maghrebi

[Seth MacFarlane]

Let's just say he looks southern Italian and leave it that. I actually agree now and don't care if he can't pass in the Maghreb but he doesent look levantine either except gaza Palestinians who aren't a good representation of levantines on the whole and I heard they are of partial egyptian stock. Actually your right he doesent look maghrebi but I know why he looks familiar the egytpians in my neighborhood store look a lil similar. But since he's southern italain This is an Italian look lol

[Sikeliot]

Great this is the definition people need to see>> thnx bro ! you're right about that he looks more Levantine than he does Maghrebi

There is also a similar Lebanese guy in my town. I notice when dark southern Italians are shown, people often instinctively associate them with Maghreb phenotypes even if the look is more Levantine; might be due to proximity. But this has changed a bit as genetic studies revealed a much larger Levantine component.

[Mn The Loki TA Son]

Looks like an Afro Levantine.

[Bagot]

He can't pass as native anywhere in Italy, just like these Furlans. If Malignaggi has an Italian look, also these ones have an Italian look.

Not at all.

He is of full Sicilian descent, so he can pass there; he is just exotic.

[Bagot]

Of course he can pass in Sicily, but not anywhere in Italy north of Naples.

[Alessio]

In Torino he wouldn't be out of place ;)

[Bagot]

Neither in New York, I guess.

[Drxgioria]

Levantine - Strong Non euro.

[Alessio]

Neither in New York, I guess.

Nope, but I meant that Torino has a lot of people that have ancestry from the south of Italy.

[Bagot]

Nope, but I meant that Torino has a lot of people that have ancestry from the south of Italy.

I've got it, and New York has a lot of people that have ancestry from the south of Italy as well.

[Alessio]

Sure and a lot more :icon_yes:

[Ctwentysevenj]

If only the Normans had a lot more influence on the population in Sicily, we wouldn't be having these kind of threads, does he fit in Europe or not? maybe he looks more Arab?
