I asked him if he had any Norse heritage (he looked Germanic to me, had Norse tattoos, a sweatshirt with Viking insignia) and he replied to me that he was just Sicilian. He did mention though that some Northern Euros settled Sicily in ancient times and he might have blood from them, but I don't think that would influence his views since its ancient ancestry that everyone from his region would have. I don't know him well, I don't really even consider him an acquaintance, so I didn't really ask him why or anything. So I don't know what exactly could have influenced his views. My personal guess is that its Marvel related. If not, then the TV show Viking. Or a combo of those two.
Btw, when I say he looked Germanic, I mean he looked more like what you'd imagine a German to stereotypically look like rather than an Italian. I'm sure he wouldn't look atypical for Italian, just that he could pass as Scando. He had brown hair if it means anything.
I think you're being a bit harsh. People don't choose what they find interesting. He didn't worship Scandinavian people or culture, he just found their mythology interesting.If he's just Italian and nothing else, I would find it lamentable, in all honesty.
