Are Sicilians 'pardos' in Brazil?

[Peter Parker]

i can understand that but how can someone take a Sicilian for someone SSA admixed? i'm kinda confused still

Sicilians usually don't but I've noticed that a lot of mixed-race Brazilians (especially Euro-shifted pardos) can have a pseudo-Berid vibe and wouldn't look that much out of the place in the Mediterranean.

Because Sicilian with a admixture of the Middle East J2 has a big and low nose, and big eyes, these are two SSA traits. Genetically they are obviously different, they just look like.

A few only, Mediterranean has more Caucasian features than light-brown Latin Americans...

hmm sicilians don't have low nose..on the contrary...they have a high profile nose.

Not at all, the average brazilian wouldn't perceive them as mixed-race / pardo.

Hell, not even the Lebanese are seem as pardos here, let alone a Sicilian.

i thought pardo refers to mixed race people.

To be honest, people only really use the "pardo" term in the census.

Brazilians call themselves "white", "moreno", "black", "asian" (usually "japa / japanese") and "native". "Moreno" can fall under other categories too.

For some reason I think that Berid even has to be the most common phenotype among White Brazilians.
But I really doubt this all came with Portuguese colonizers and Italian immigrants.

The Amerindian and SSA admixture actually causes that a lot of Latin Americans look like 'fake Berids'.
