Well, even if only 5-7% of the population are over 80% Caucasoid, that would still be 6-8 million people.

There is something odd. Her phenotype still looks latino to me even though she is less amerindian than me. Maybe the MENA component gives more strength to Ameridian comp that makes it to pop up.

You look white to me, could be a full Italian or something else. What is your total Caucasoid percentage?

Could honestly pass well in AFG and TJK

In my opinion which has to do in her to look odd is the MENA/sephardic admix.
I perceived that many predominantly mexican colonials with high caucasoid % score some MENA In FTDNA, 23andme and Ancestry.com.
Probably a lot of them have sephardic background, because regular iberians don't show that %.

The south was already conquered when they migrated to the new world though.

Some iberians have also sephardic background without knowing it. Crypto-jews that lost their "identity" like you can see also in Italy.

Leto. According to Gedrosia K3 my west eurasian component is 81.12. From ancestry perspective LivingDNA is giving me 82.6 European.

You are right, many campanians have that contribution in their tests.

Naples is very diverse. It was a densely urban area since Antiquity times and from Pompei, Herculanum, Stabia remains you clearly see the presence of several strangers. Campanian plain before that was an area of exchange between Etruscans and Italic tribes from inland areas. Yes Campania was etruscized.

At the same time that there are surely jewish/levant influenced campanians you have also a lot of light types and blue eyed people. Just an example, I have a campanian "uncle" (a great uncle) he's campanian from Salerno, he's blue eyed. I have another "napulitan'" from proper city of Naples (though he isn't an uncle he's married to one of my cousins) he's blue eyed as well. So I will except also northern influenced results. We can't capture all this diversity as there are very few tests for a city that counts nearly 1 million of people, and even more for metropolitan area.
