Sorry to break it to you but Mark Ruffalo is as Italian as Idris Elba. That is none at all! Ruffalo isn’t White, he is an Arab. As in Middle Easterner. FCOL, Italy had a massive invasion from the Middle East and Ruffalo shows 0 Italian profile. His DNA is dominant Arab, diluted with likely European, though hard to tell due his very obvious nose job. But that freezy hair and those dark eyes and dark traits, he is very likely Egyptian, Saudi or even Iranian dominant. Really weird that he is concealing his Arab origins.
The South (except parts of Sicily, and the city of Bari in Apulia, briefly), was never neither invaded or ruled by Arabs, nor a Papal intervention actual happened. This is surreal.
Sì ok il solito campionario di frasi sconclusionate.
Esatto, sei sarda, non siamo della stessa nazione.
Ripeti le frasi come un pappagallo, cos’è non sei capace di argomentare con parole tue?
Vatican State never stopped anything (if you think so, provide a source). You should write fantasy books.
Provide a.source. Chiacchiere a caso altrimenti.
La dislessia è una disabilità seria, però non ne esci con la volgarità . Ma sudamericana de che?
No offense but I always feel like Middle Easterns like yourself always bring this topic up because you so badly want to align yourself with us but its never going to happen. Mark is not concealing his faux Arab origins when there is none. You guys should focus on developing some confidence and stop begging us to claim you guys. Embarrassing.
“CORRECTION’ Irish, Scottish, English, and Algonquian Native American
Before I event start on this, I’ll need the fractions.
ask madman
Mark Ruffalo is at least 1/8192 Irish. One Irish 11th great-grandfather that @Madman mentioned. http://www.nosorigines.qc.ca/genealogy_canada_pedigree.aspx?pid=1462620&lng=fr&name=Clyde_Hebert @Follers, to save you some time click on this family tree of Mark’s maternal grandfather. Since it only goes back four generations a page click on Hyacinthe Lefebvre (Clyde’s 2nd great grandfather) and then Charles Lecompte (Lefebvre’s 2nd great grandfather) and there you will see Thecle-Cornelieus Aubry.
1/8192? I’m not sure I even list 1/8192s. I think I tried to draw the line at 1/4096, though that seems kind of lax, too.
if someone is able to spot a non-French ancestor in his French-Canadian side, under the 1/1024 soil, it has to be included. Just that.
So the other ethnicities shouldn’t be added?
If you want the fractions, the genealogy is right there.
It doesn’t matter what 1/999th of whatever drops he may have had in his tree, this man is an Arab! For whatever reason he has chosen to conceal his true origins, but his DNA profile is very evident in his face. HOW on Earth can’t any of you, who trawl at a forum like this, can’t recognize very obvious Arab traits? My Iranian friends think he’s one of them!
1. Iranian’s aren’t Arab 2. He is 75% Italian. please enough!
Your Iranian friends are insecure trolls who are desperate to be accepted by Europeans. Tell them to grow a back bone and develop some confidence.
