It is extremely stupid to consider southern Europeans as "Med" people as a group, like those in northern Africa or like many arabs. We obviously know that the differences are massive between south-europeans and north-africans, so I wonder who the hell invented the "Med" label and who the hell have put south Europeans (or many other from other parts of Europe) as "Meds"??
The differences are so huge that the term can´t be used unless someone is stupid. For example, this picture (5 Spaniards and an arab). I could have posted north-africans or any other "mediterranean " group. I know that north-africans or arabs are more semitic, even they have subsaharan and so on, but they are considered (and they consider themshelves) as a Med group. Can you spot the brutal differences??
So, after seeing this picture, how is that "Med" label still working? There is more closeness between an alpine (other classification label) and a euro-"med" than between meds from northern Africa and euro-"med". So, how is it that some people want to label the north-african and the south-europeans as meds?? I guess south-Europeans are no mediterranean in a phenotype level, so let´s stop using this stupid label. Only a 3-4% south Europeans are somehow similar to those from north-africa. Those like Raul or Busquets (which I don´t consider them white and I am from the same country than them). But, these types are only 3-4-5% of the population of south-Europe. The great majority look like the people in the picture (and no, I don´t look med at all, in fact, quite the contrary but I hate that "med" label since it is too stupid to be considered from a rational point of view.
