Italians and greeks?

"White" usually refers to Caucasians, from the Caucasus Mountains originally. I apologize if you know this already. I'll skip the anthropological lecture and just say that it seems to me that the further south you go in Europe, the more likely you are to see darker skinned people (Mediterranean, for example). Someone once told me that depending on whether one is from northern Italy or southern Italy he or she might have the darker skin and darker hair. I had a teacher in grade school who was one of the darker complected Italians. I also have a friend who is Greek, and I honestly never gave it much thought about whether she looks white or not. But in any case, it's not important to *me* whether they look "white" or not, but that's just me, so take it for what it's worth. Incidentally my husband is Hispanic and we've often wondered what our kids would look like if we'd had any.
