Anonymous Coward User ID: 22138087 United States 10/10/2012 04:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | North Italians are actually Austrian. In Italian prayers, they used to say 'save of us from the wrath of the Norseman'. That was the Vikings who'd come through on ocassion and kill all the dudes then pleasure the women with their aryan blond blue schlongs. Hence the pale skin blond hair Blue eyed Italian. The brown Italian is just a mullato from Africa. |

Is it because of the sun in Italy? Quoting: Adeclersnsmdkd Rent the movie True Romance and listen to Dennis Hoppers character tell Christopher Walkens character the reason for this dark skin. Although he was talking about Sicilians,the Italians had the same experience,historically speaking his explanation was on the money. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 25236122 Netherlands 10/12/2012 09:04 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | no, I think you have a valid question and I don't think it's racist.. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 23093311 I am a dark skinned black haired brown eyed german, where does that put me? It certainly is a valid question, why shouldn't it be. It's bizarre to see someone be called a racist just for asking such a question. In the north, Italians would naturally be mostly fair skinned people, but they don't of course have only blue eyes. The south is located very close to the north african coast. The southern part of Sicily is even more in the south than the northermost part of the African coast. All kinds of people have crossed the Mediterranean for thousands of years, so it would only be natural if there were all kinds of skin color in Italy. |

Quoting: the mighty Atom Italy is since many, many Centuries a melting Pot. But there are very white ones in the mountainous North. And, incidentally, the whiter northern Italians have higher IQ, and are more economically productive, while Sicily in the darker south has the Italian mafia as it's main claim to fame. It's impossible to speak about these things without getting into racist territory, because whether you like it or not, the truth is racist. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 24011342 United States 10/12/2012 09:40 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Italians WERE blonde hair with blue eyes. IIRC, Hannibal conquered much of southern Europe (iirc, Hannibal - a Carthaginian - northern African) and forced intermarriage amongst the Italians. The "dark skinned" Italians are mix of black (African) and white (Caucasian). You would also find that Spanish, Portuguese, and French are actually blonde/blue. The only ones to escape the forced marraiges and rapes were the very wealthy whites. Take a look at picutres of the former presidents of Mexico...mostly white. Now as to the source of much of this info...my seventh grade Latin teacher so...you may want to research more for yourself. |

Not only the olive skin, but some have very curly dark hair. One would assume Italians would look a little more like Swiss from the north. |

The Africans weren't "black" Africans, they were from what was known in historical times as Libya. They have berber genes, not black. |
