Please, Classify My Brother

Which countries (Old World/ Middle Eastern) does he pass best in? Is he white?
He was born in Southern Brazil and he has Italian citizenship.
He has half Italian, 1/8 Syrian and 3/8 Spaniard ancestry (His great-grandparents were born in these countries).

We are waiting our DNA test (MyHeritage).

I think Atlanto Med + Berid, but I don't know...

Does anyone know how to classify him?

**Xacal** · 10-20-2020, 03:09 AM

Dinaro-Med + Berid

Does he pass as a local in Italy/ France?

**Immanenz** · 10-20-2020, 09:36 AM

Between West Asian and Italian in looks, but passes in Southeuro

In Europe (Italy in particular), do you consider him a white or a nonwhite person despite his fully caucasian ancestry?

I don't think in Italy or in Europe generally the term 'white' is used to describe people's look on a daily basis. He'd be seen as 'southern euro looking' in most places I think. Could pass well for Turkish too.

If I didn't know I would've guessed him as Sicilian, Greek or Cypriot.

So, what does he must put in information about "Ethnicity", "meta-ethnicity" and "taxonomy" in his profile here? He is waiting for DNA tests, but the coronavirus slows everything. It is in transit yet.
