Where do these Greek-Australian actors pass better: France or Lebanon?

You can never tell with this guy if he's trolling or not

[Sikeliot]

1. France
2. Lebanon
3. Either, but atypical in both
4. France

I'll go with France since 3 of them fit in France, while only 2 in Lebanon.

[nightrider+]

1. France


Looool, this guy doesn't even pass as Cretan, let alone French.

[Antimage]

Lebanon except last one which is a tie/leaning towards France

[Sikeliot]

Looool, this guy doesn't even pass as Cretan, let alone French.

He looks like James Gandolfini to me who was a mixture of northern and southern Italian but would pass in France fine.

He's extremely atypical even for Cyprus.
Btw, we have a confirmed Cypriot, two that look like Cypriots and a guy with a female or foreign name (Erieta), not a Greek male name in any case.
Posting in a Tooting Carmen thread.

[Sikeliot]

Ok in that picture he looks black ^^

So no, he wouldn't fit in either Lebanon nor France.

Tooting Carmen does not differentiate between Cypriots and Greeks, despite there being a genetic difference, because it suits him to not differentiate.

Most Cypriots pass in Greece, even though as a group they are more Middle Eastern-shifted, but still they don't look like Iraqis.

They look more or less Lebanese, because they're not mostly of Greek descent even if they are culturally such.

They resemble some Lebanese people, but the latter have a lot of Arabid types that are quite rare among the former.

Papademetriou is of Cypriot descent and in that untanned pic you posted looks quite atypical for Cyprus indeed. He looks woggier than even the average Leb. He really looks Iraqi or something. Blias doesn't look atypical for Cyprus, but probably a bit for Greece. He leans towards Lebanon if given a choice between France and Lebanon.

Gouskos and Tseztsimis both look rather pan-South Euro and maybe slightly better in France. You've never heard of the name Erieta among Greek men?

[Sikeliot]

They still look closer to Near Eastern people than to Greeks, and genetics shows the same.

There can be no Greek male name that ends in -a.

[Newsboy]

Ahh I see. Who knows maybe he also has non Greek ancestry. Being from Australia, a country of immigrants this is fairly likely.

How typical is Blias for Greece? I think he's a bit atypical. What would you say?

[nightrider+]

He is. His surname is common in Lemnos.

Lebanon.

[brennus dux gallorum]

First two in Lebanon, last two in France, however, the last 2 represent nearly the 95% of the population, the first two less than 5%

Cypriots on contrary look much closer to lebanese, and the first pic is a cypriot

[Sikeliot]

Cypriots should be specified as being such in these threads otherwise it is misleading to post them and just say Greek when their DNA says otherwise.

[brennus dux gallorum]

Let's make it clear, in the particular case both op and sikeliot are right

On the one hand, yes, a 50-75% of Greek Cypriots pass as native Greeks, but still exotic natives , on the other hand the rest who do not even pass as exotic are very frequent, the difference between Greeks from Greece and from Cyprus is very huge, so Cypriots can't be used as a Greek example . Greek Cypriots look very close to Lebanese, see the first guy, Greeks from Greece, on contrary would look closer even to Irish (as the poll in another forum showed) than to Lebanese

[catgeorge]

FMD I live in Australia and dont even know who they are :dunno:

I was agreeing with you up until that last sentence. Maybe equidistant between Irish and Lebanese, but certainly not closer to the former than the latter. Regardless of pigmentation, Greeks (whether Balkan-looking or Sicilian-looking) mostly look very foreign in the British Isles, and except maybe for Romanians and some South Slavs, Greeks are probably the Europeans with whom the British and Irish least overlap.

The majority of Greeks are neither Balkan looking/by genetics nor sicilian like. We usually overlap the area between abruzzo and Tuscany, central Italy.

As for the Irish and brits, in general, I agree in terms of genetics, but I was talking about a particular poll in this forum

Trololol. But if you want to use football teams, how about the victorious England team from 1966?

Really what about 1 euro football championships and 2 euro basketball championships?

You have one gold medal in elite team sports.... we have three....

England won the 2003 Rugby World Cup too. Plus Great Britain in recent years has been rivalled only by China and the US in terms of number of Olympic medals.

Cypriots are very much Greeks and always have been for thousand of years.

It is Greeks that have substantial Cypriot-Greek DNA and not the other way round.

Cypriot dna can be found from Hungary to Yemen!

[Governor]

The first man look Iranian.

[brennus dux gallorum]

The first man look Iranian.

He looks middle eastern as his region, Cyprus is near middle east
However, ethnically he is 100% Greek

Middle easterners don't usually look like that. He looks like he's half Arab-half Japanese. Could fit in a Kurosawa movie:

This is not a native Cypriot phenotype, nor does it have anything to do with Greece.

Very few Cypriots have Greek phenotype , i say somewhere at 30%.
The rest are middle eastern Lebanese looking

Its the reality , half of Btitans have african roots and all of them mixed every year and more.
This team from 1966 would be past in 30-40 years and majority of Great Britain population would be black

On the other hand Greeks stay the same Med's as always

[Sikeliot]

Yes I agree.

Of the Cypriots I have seen, roughly half look more or less far southern Italian and the other half look distinctly Levantine.

What about National team ??? England , France , Nederlands and even Germany are full of niggers
You have way to much niggers and islam refugees there and you give them british nationality.

If you continue like this you will have a huge problem
