Southern Italians = Greeks, dumbass.
He defiantly looks Italian but Italians and Greeks look very similar so it’s hard too tell just like Spanish and Italians look very similar it’s hard too tell them apart.
Wow,I always thought he was hispanic
Macchio is part Italian. Before the Arab invasions the Italians were white. Look at the old Roman statues. Do they look like Macchio? Of course not.
He is part Arab, so his ethnicity should be Italian and Arab.
