And if not, where do they pass?

A lot of the same people appear in multiple pics.

Some or them could, but most are too swarthy to pass. Some also look too eastern.

Yes but many of them look kinda exotic.

Eastern as in Eastern European, or eastern as in Near Eastern?

Maybe as individuals most could pass as Brazilians, but not as much as a group I'd think.

Exotic in what way? Like, what would you guess them as?

The exoic individuals look Cypriot.

I guess those people are from Greece.

Eastern as in Middle Eastern. Their look is not common among White Brazilians, it's not rare either, I just think they would looks a little off.

They aren't Greek, but there is a good reason why they could fit there.

Ah ok. I wasn't sure because I see a few who look Eastern European as well. :lol:

second pic, the guy with the black jacket can maybe pass as some Caucasian. the ladies in the first pic and the slenderman( the other guy in pic 2) behind them maybe could pass as syrian especialy the slenderman and the tiger lady.

Yes, in the middle and upper classes of Mexico.

Almost anything can fit in my country (only extremes don't) so yes absolutely.

Latin America has everything from Chinese, to Blacks, to Subnordids to Amerindians.

A few of them could, but most would look foreign. Photos 4 and 5 could have been taken here, although the girl on the right in 4 would look pretty unusual (although as we have foreign people here, that scene could still be from here).

Some look too Eastern Euro but by the large part they can.

Sikeliot

The high presence of "Eastern Euro" looking people in eastern (i.e. "Greek") Sicily, in this case Catania, is surprising.

Well yeah by E.Euro I meant Balkan looking...though there are a good part of Maltese people that can easily pass as Balkani.

The vast majority of them do pass in the Balkans, in some form.

Some could with no problem, but as group, no way.

Hardly vaste majority. If you count Greek islands, maybe half.

Albanian posters always say the people I post can fit in Albania, and usually Bulgarian and Greek posters say the same, even Turkish posters. If the same is not true for Serbia, then fine.

Austo

No.

Only very few of them could.

Sikeliot
03-31-2013, 07:03 PM
Collectively, where would you guys say they fit best.. or what regions?

I'm waiting for hear from Iberian posters too.

Some of them could pass in Serbia and Bosnia, yes. But as group they cant. I think half of them roughly could pass in Balkans taken as whole. But, Balkan looks is anything from East Med and Armenoid to East and Halstat Nordid. All that types are here. Its big exagerattion to say all Balkanites look same.

Gauthier

So, what is their origin? Specially that of the ones I quoted on my previous post.

I'd say more than half could probably fit in Greece but the Balkans as a whole would be less since obviously some of them are too (for lack of better word) "exotic" to fit in say, Croatia and Bosnia.

Albania is a good match too. I've been finding there is a decent similarity.

No and take this picture as example. In Austria on group photos it is likely you will find two or three Med looking individuals but never the whole bunch:

Sikeliot

So far according to what you guys have said, they can fit in Turkey, Malta, Bulgaria, Mexico, Colombia, and they cannot fit in the North Caucasus, Austria, Portugal, or anywhere Northern European.

Catania/Messina/Syracuse. These people are too Greek to be from elsewhere.

Catania is correct.

They could be from Enna too, aren't they pretty Greek in Enna as well?

Parts of the province are, parts of it aren't. The city of Enna is not far from Caltanissetta at all.

Sikeliot

What would people in Enna be descended from if not Greek?

riverman
04-01-2013, 03:51 AM
from my own ethnic standpoint, no.

as far as for America, a group like this would just that, an ethnic group. same with Spanish groups here, they don't look average as a group IMO.

I haven't studied the city extensively. It was founded by the Sicanians and later ruled by the Sicels.
