What percentage of Portuguese and Sicilians/Calabrese can be confused for one another?

[Sikeliot]

Trying to prove a point here. As someone who is both ethnicities I think I am more qualified to judge than others, but I want to know what people's impression is, since Veritator stated that the average person would not be able to tell the difference.

I do not agree, of course.

[Tooting Carmen]

10-20% maybe?

[Sikeliot]

10-20% maybe?

I'd say maybe 1 in every 4. And of that I mean 1 out of every 4 southern Italians could fit in Portugal as a generic Med type, although offhand I cannot think of a single Portuguese that is not too ethnically distinct to pass in southern Italy.

[YeshAtid]

They look very similar.

[Sikeliot]

They look very similar.

So in that last thread I made, you think 3 out of every 4 people passes as Portuguese?

I think you're overstating the differences. Most see them as being pan med

No. Just no.

Portuguese people do not look pan-Med. Half of them don't even look Med, and of those who do, they look very distinctly Portuguese.
