Classify Greco Sicilian

Lol. If you take a look at the comments on her video, you'll see a bunch of people calling her ''mediterranean'' and that she looks ''Middle Eastern, Italian, Greek or Spanish". What's interesting to me is how it's always these amerimutts and Arabs talking on the Internet about the "Mediterranean race".
In Europe itself even Swedes wouldn't compare Italians to Egyptians and Palestinians. Simply the notion of it sounds ludicrous. In reality the girl can't pass even in a single part of Turkey, let alone in Europe.

Yes, as a North African, the are groups of North Africans and Arabs online like to group themselves with being “Mediterranean” and the same as south Europeans and avoid being called brown, I don’t understand why they do it, it’s so cringe when I see it

No need to be touchy about it. At 2:41, she writes "For clarification my mother was adopted and unaware of her paternal heritage until a month ago when we took the 23andMe so our family never identified with any of her predominantly Asian roots and culture I wish we did". As I'm sure you're aware, Italians routinely get West Asian in their results. And her Central/South Asian is at 30%, very much in line with a grandparent. I'm not saying that is the case, but it could be. There are only 150,000 gypsies in Italy. At any rate, it seems you've written her about it. So I guess we'll see, eh?

she gets also balkan and westasian, 30% is more then a grandparent not really in line with a grandparent.

You can definitely inherit 30 percent from a grandparent. It's at the end of normal, but still within the normal range. It doesn't have to be a perfect 25 percent that you inherit from your grandparents.

Yes it is possible but unlikely. And Italians probably dont score west asian on 23andme because they have neolithic ancestry but on 23andme they are not more then 5% westasian (only some though) she is more, but only part italian, i suspect she is mostly gypsie with some american admixture (british&german/scandinavian)
