Which ethnicities/nationalities have an absolute majority who can pass reasonably as Portuguese?

IMHO the overwhelming majority of Spaniards, along with smaller but still significant majorities of French, Italians, Greeks and Maltese. Maybe some Balkan and Central European countries are in the circa 50% category, but I am not sure.

I would say, Spaniards passes as majority. South France and south Italy till some extend passes very good. IMHO on bakan peninsula only passable individuals can be found among some Greeks and very rare among Albanians

This is from my experience... as anything should be:

Spanish of course (anyone that says something else is coping)... then i'd say southern French (not by a long shot between italians and them though.. then, italians (as a whole many can if they dont fit the ultimate stereotype... but it's true italians usually have very distinct looks in their own regard), greeks (less than italians by a good margin bc they are too robust and east-med, but still some can look like us), and then of course the Dinkas.

With reference to italians feel free to scold me. I could be biased regarding myself... as I am often told I look sicilian, or southern italian where I'm from. And I have been told by actual 100% authentic italians. Beautiful people from those places by the way. Of course, many of these large EEF engrained places have overlap in looks just for us having that ancient relation even while being largely genetically isolated in the modern age.

In addition to those groups you mention, what about Maltese people, Balkanites and Central Europeans like Swiss and Hungarians? Would they be in the circa 50% category?

Passable individuals? I thought this was about majorities, i think passable individuals would be easy to find in the balkan peninsula.

For example a while ago i made a thread for people to guess the croat (who turned out to be serb) in the portuguese basketball national team and it wasn't easy.

You are right, as I wasn't in Portugal still, I expect diversity there, individuals from Croatia can pass of course, but I think that southern parts of Balkan peninsula has bit more individuals which can pass better. Many Europeans can pass among different European countries on the end.

What would your list of countries/ethnic groups who in an absolute majority could pass well in Portugal be then?
