    Sorry at all for my bad english.
    I am Italian and I will now explain briefly how things stand, because it seems to me that you Americans have a somewhat ridiculous ignorance. The Italian race is 45/50% Celtic (La Tene and Villanovan), another 30% is made up of Germans because of the centuries-old domination of the Goths, Lombards, Franks, Normans etc.. The other 20% is divided in Mediterranean populations (especially Iberian and Greek). To make easy,I can give examples this ethnic division with players from the italian national team:

    For the first part (Leonardo Bonucci, Francesco Totti, Andrea Pirlo, Giampaolo Pazzini, Christian Maggio, etc.) These may be identified as a typical Italian (majority)

    For the second part (Claudio Marchisio, Ignazio Abate, Daniele De Rossi, Domenico Criscito, Davide Biondini, etc.) (Germanics)

    The third part (Antonio Di Natale, Fabio Quagliarella, Gennaro Gattuso, Vincenzo Iaquinta, etc.) (greek/mediterranean)

    In the far south (Sicily, southern Calabria, Salento), this last percentage increases because the Germanic peoples in middle age (especially Norman) have made ​​a sort of apartheid legacy of ethnic discrimination against the minority Greek and Berber. For this reason, these communities have moved to the west of Sicily with a forced movement similar to that of the British Isles Celtic (particularly in the province of Trapani) for their poverty these were the largest group to immigrate to america between 1880 and 1915.

    However, if you want to talk about countries that do you not know, I reveal you a method. Look at the national team football, rugby, swimming, etc. of these countries and not look their descendants with mixed blood for generations in America. So cannot go wrong

      Maybe, almost a half of italians have blue eyes. They are
      just sitting at home, so tourists don’t see them

      • andrew says:

        as I told you, most have brown eyes/hair. But light complexion is higher than in the rest of South Europe

        http://mapsof.net/uploads/static-maps/blond_hair_italy.gif

        Light eyes (not just blue but green, grey etc) percentage is between 40% in North-East and 15 % in Sardinia. Example of Southern man with blue eyes

        • nnnnn says:

          So, I know now, where’s EU money. They spend money
          to check the whole population (app 40 mln) to find out,
          how many people have blue eyes? Do you believe it?

          • andrew says:

            The blondism map was made by Biasutti, an anthropologist dead in 1965. Looks pretty accurate, showing differences even inside small portions of territory. The study about the eye colour of Italian population was made by the National Institute of Anthropology, long time ago, I cant get a link now btw. I think any country have made this kind of studies, not the UE. You are right saying it’s hard to check a country with 60 millions of ppl (not 40), Finland (5 ml) would be easier

          • nnnnn says:

            I don’t thinks Finish government would spend money
            for such scum. They are not stupid people, although
            not indo-european

          • andrew says:

            They speak a non indo-european language, but I’m not sure they could not be considered that. Also Basques don’t speak an indo-european tongue

          • nnnnn says:

            I don’t know, what origin have basks. Didn’t you
            learn at school, that finns (and partly hungarians)
            are not from european origin, but their ancestors
            came from Ural mountains (in Asia)? It’s just a fact,and have nothing with racism. Ridiculous, that some people regard “non-european” etc. as a disgrace.
            I would be a sick political-correct “extremist”, if I deny simple facts

            (AMERICANS ARE REALLY DUMB, NOW LET ME GIVE YOU A LESSON ABOUT HISTORY, GEOGRAPHY AND ANTHROPOLOGY
            NNNNN)

            If I’m not mistaken,isn’t (NNNNN) one of your fellow Europeans?

            (I BEEN IN AMERICA (CALIFORNIA, FLORIDA, NEW MEXICO, ALABAMA, KENTHUCKY, MISSISIPI, NEVADA) AND LET ME TELL YOU, THE MAJORITIES OF THE PEOPLE THAT I SAW WHERE BLACKS, MEXICANS,ASIANS, INDIAN AND VERY VERY FEW % OF )

            Now with the exception of Cali,you seem to have spend a lot of time in the south.Now that’s is where a lot of black people are concentrated at,but are you saying you didn’t see a lot of white people in (ALABAMA, KENTUCKY, MISSISSIPPI and FLORIDA)?

            (“WHITE” AMERICANS ARE THE MOST MIXED PEOPLE IN THE WORLD)

            IDK about that one.From what I can tell,Black Americans,and Latinos have them beat.Although you white Europeans can be just as mixed as you American counterparts.Even though you both tend to deny it.

    I can see some Italian in her for sure, she can even look full Italian! As for the Italians being white, Italians are caucasian peoples, and their skin tones range from being pale white europeans like Germans, to tanned Med peoples like North Africans, so Italians can range a lot in their skin tones, but they are classified as white people in aabout every country i can think of. Italians are southern europeans so they aren`t as white as the Nordics on average but they are still white people, they are not black or asian now are they.

    • ignorant killer 2 says:

      there are more whites in israel than in italy.

      • ahmed says:

        Israelis are different, they are white as well, but they are different as Israel is basically a country where all Jewish people live not any specific race! In Israel there are Jews who originate from Europe around Poland, Germany, or Ukraine etc. Yes those Jews are whiter generally than the Italians, but there are also Black Jews from Africa, Sephardic Jews from Spain and Morocco, and local middle eastern Jews who are similar to Arabs! So no not all Israelis are whiter than Italians, some are! As I said there are some Italians who are dark haired and eyed with tanned skin but there also Italians with light hair and eyes plus pale skin! Italians are generally brown haired peoples

    She is made very Italian girl

  4. ignorant killer 2 says:

    I don’t care if you believe me or not. italians are not white period.

  5. no says:
