South Italians

[princeton90]

Do you think South Italians are the most West-Asian-looking group in continental Europe?

In my family they don't look Arab, there are Norids, Gracile meds, atlanto-meds and Atlantids. When I went to Calabria there are few swarty people and they didn't look Arab and when I went to Sicily people look a bit whiter than Calabrian people. I'm brunette and I fell better among brunette ones, so I really paid attention in local people. I noticed I'm swartier than 80% or more locals and I have got 0 Arab blood. But I did't do a study. Just observation and I didn't travel all entire region.

On average? Yes, in particular the Calabrians.

Because neither of them look like Arabs at all, it seems Sikeliot's perpetual hard-on for pictures of tanned Italians in dark nightclubs has left a big impact on some people's perception.

I think Greeks and Italians both.

Greek Islanders technically are... THEN Calabrese and some Sicilian groups.

Indeed, but OP specified "continental Europe".

It would still be both Greeks and Italians lol

Average Greek Islander doesn't look more West Asian than South Italians if you go by particular types or individuals then maybe....

Why every time there is a thread about southern Italians it has to be West Asia related? The obsession is real...
