What makes you think he's Israeli and not Just lebanese? I don't think he looks particularly Israeli.

The thread is titled "Do most of them pass for your ethnicity?", I replied to that. If he's Isreali or Lebanese I do not know.

Oh I thought you meant the comments just before you in which uhtred asked if they were israeli and sikleiot said:

Oh no, I wasn't replying to that. My knowledge on Israeli and Lebanese looks is too small for me to have an informed opinion on it. So I best not do it.

Can these Sicilians pass in Brazil? collectively I mean
http://www.theapricity.com/forum/showthread.php?75223


Some could of course as Calabrian-Brazilians, other as Jewish-Brazilians. This for example, if I saw her on my neighbourhood wearing less provocative clothes I would guess her as Jewish. What's her name?

My word isn't of a specialist. Far from it. But I've seen the rest around Portugal for sure. They look to me like the usual mixes of Meds we are used to have here. Some more in the far south and others in the north. This has nothing to do with the post, but a foreign Puerto Riqueño friend of mine noticed from his perspective that from the centre to south he saw a lot more people with usually darker ethnicities mixed in.

No, they look Eastern Meds, not Western ones, there are differences. These are Eastern ones, there's no question about it, which is why we are getting these poll results.

In Portugal? There aren't "ethnicies" in Portugal other than Portuguese, let alone lighter and darker ones. It's natural that they look darker, considering the climate and weather differences between North and South Portugal.

In my town, where most Southern Europeans tend to be Portuguese, they'd be guessed as such. But I personally would not make the mistake.

Are you sure?....these are all portuguese, and there are at least 3 of the girls in the pics that almost look like girls i went to school with. But, it's ok to disagree no harm.

I am sure. Cherry picking doesn't mean anything as it is inherently dishonest, you could even get slavic-looking Iberians in there and use them to justify that point of view. Just because they exist, it doesn't mean the are common or the norm, because they most certainly aren't.

There is a very complete thread with hundreds or thousands of photos of our people, the large majority are generally Atlantomed types, either more Atlantid or more (western) Med, with Alpinid and CM features also being present.


Figo is Dinarid, that doesn't mean his looks are common, or that Dinards would pass as Portuguese.

Ok... you are a little bit of a feisty one aren't you? hahaha
I was just saying that some of the people, not all of them, could pass as my neighbours easily and not be considered foreign looking.
As for the north and south thing, the pics i posted are all from central southern portuguese people as you know. And those kind of features are more common on that region than where I live.

Chill a bit. It's all good... nobody can be the almighty voice of reason. It's ok if we disagree nobody has to prove to be the winner in a contest looool.

I can be feisty and worse (and I'm sure you can too, both of us being from the North), but at the moment I'm not being it lol

You bet! unfortunately I'm from a town where a lot of outside males get beaten just because they where looking funny at someone.
I'm a mulher do norte carailho! LOL

But I know when I don't need to be, so I'm a lady :).

All good.

Some could of course as Calabrian-Brazilians, other as Jewish-Brazilians.
