Do whites of Sao Paulo look mostly italian or iberian?

[Latinus]

The Italian influence in São Paulo is both stronger and more recent than the Portuguese or Spanish.

But the main Euro component is still Portuguese... then Italian, then Spanish...
Italians had a significant impact in SP demography, but, just like in Argentina, it's still behind the founding stock: Iberian, in SP's case, Portuguese.

Many of these "Italian paulistas" are more Iberian than Italiano.

I think that if I lived in Brazil, in Sao Paulo state I would feel more identified with the general population, because I'm mostly a Iberian/Italian mix (even though much more Iberian than Italian), but also, because is the Brazilian state that received more Spanish immigration.

Unfortunately, Spanish immigration to Brazil tend to be overlooked, they give much more emphasis to the German one, when immigration from Spain was much stronger than Germany's.

Thats true, 5 years ago Roberto Grande was very troll with southern euros and at they same time he was very trolled too. I did not had an account in apricity at the time, but I remember some european users furious because he said he could pass in Europe. And Roberto Grande was right, I would say almost 10% of the population in some european places look less euro than him.

In Sicily, phenotypes like him are even majority.

What are you talking about, Roberto Grande has a sizable Amerindian influence. He looks odd for Sicily and I've rarely/even never seen a sicilian like him.

He looks like that user that had the Groenland flag in profile description and that was partly italian but also clearly amerindian influenced.

Mix of both, but slightly more Italian looking I think.

Yep, its seems the majoritary opinion and I mostly agree with that because the Colonial Sao Paulo was not so populous like other states(maybe even Paraíba had more people at some point). The state experienced a really enomous population boom since 1870 mainly because of italians and spaniards and then because of Mineiros and Northeasters after some decades.

Also to Rio de Janeiro and Bahia, for example, in these ones they were mainly from Galiza, while in SP most were Andalusians.

As a group they only pass as Brazilians. Brazilians have a very specific vibe, individually most Brazilians can fit all over the world, but in groups most Brazilians, regardless of what they identify, look Brazilian.

Even that guy Ethel, who was said to look French, still look Brazilian to me.
