  Originally posted by anthony44  Well, just like I thought, this thread took a turn for the worst.   Number one, we dont know who that person in the picture is. Number two, skin color is not a good indicator of race. If you go to Sicily, you will probably see many people like that..guess why-its HOT in Sicily, and whites' skin tend to darken when its hot and sunny out. Common sense will tell you that.  And now you say Al Pacino isn't white? I always thought he was actually light complected, now you say he isn't even white. Do you know who Al Pacino is? Are we talking about the same person? Do you think that one must look like Conan O'Brien to be considered white?  Anthony    exactly skin color doesnt matter really but it is a very good indicator of race charateristics. a nordic can put mass fake tanning lotion on and be very dark, but that does not make her non white! because a dark skinned white is still white. but southern italians are a different story...no matter how light they are many are non white since they have north african berber and middle eastern semitic plus some negroid blood.     now i do know who the person is in that picture but i wont say who but he is 100% sicilian in new york. yea new york its not sunny in winter or fall and some a spring even how can you even be that dark?? and his tan isnt fake or tanning salon. and just see sicilians in the winter that guy there (anonymous) is still naturally brown skin color, explain that man.     al pacino isnt white because of his semitic look. only north europeans are white. bottom line. stop trying to be accepted as white, when youre not.
