Why do some people keep telling that Southern Europeans are more Arabian-like?

Why do some people keep telling that Southern Europeans are more Arabian-North African-like than Northern Europeans are? It is clear that both Northern and Southern Europeans are equidistant to Arabians-North Africans.

Because they are more Neolithic mixed.

I bet that I'm more Caucasian/Anatolian like than Arabian, anyway we'll see what 23andme tells me.

I've seen some Italians and Greeks who are Arab-like in phenotype but that does not necessarily reflect in the genotype and I also don't think this is necessarily a racist observation unless you think civilizations such as ancient Sumeria and the invention of Algebra by an Arab etc... are inferior achievements. I'm from New York plenty of Greeks and Italians here as well as everyone from around the world also while I have seen dark Greeks I think some (not all) of the Italians I have seen were more Arab-like but I'm not sure.

Some Arab-like Italian in Manhattan had the audacity to call me a 'white boy' implying he was not 'white'.

It depends on, there are definitively an overlap between South Europe and Levante, in rare cases with North Africa too but peninsula Arabs and most of North Africans cannot pass as South European. Arabs are diverse too, genetically and apparently.

Because they are more Neolithic mixed.

Neolithic Farmers (Early European Farmers) have nothing to do with MENA people. Even if MENA people have that component, it is a result of European settlers in MENA. Neolithic is a fully European component.

European Greeks and most Italians have almost nothing to do with Middle Easterners, be it Arabs or Turks.

Those people are Middle Easterners who pretend to be Greek/Italian.

Why do some people keep telling that Southern Europeans are more Arabian-North African-like than Northern Europeans are?

1. because they are
2. they often get butthurt so some people think it's fun to troll them

It is clear that both Northern and Southern Europeans are equidistant to Arabians-North Africans.

can you prove it?
