Sicilian native here

[Tauromachos]

Maybe it's true genetically. However across Sicily the physical traits are all varied and mixed. In each family you might find people that look nordic and others look more let's say like middle eastern. Just to give you an example...my dad and his younger brother are blonde type with fair skin while their oldest brother's skin and hair were dark. My nephews from the same parents, one is blonde with very light eyes, his brother has dark skin and black hair. It's almost impossible to distinguish sicilians from different cities. We can only do this with the DNA. I love this forum, let's collect data and study our DNA.

Yeah but this or very similar at least to what you explained here for Sicilians is also true for Greeks both Greeks in the Mainland and in the Aegean

He doesnt know much about Sicilians do not worry about it too much. He has never stepped foot in Sicily - I have been there five times and its almost pole opposites to Sikeliots cherry picking arguementatures.
