Question

Is Italian considered Caucasian or Mediterranean ?

Answer 1

caucasian is a race and mediterranean is a region so you cant say "this or that?"...

people of mediterranean countries are all caucasian... from spain to greece down to egypt and over to morocco

Answer 2

they are both not either or.

Answer 3

They are considered Mediterranean, which is considered Caucasian LOL.

Answer 4

in the usa its caucasian. never heard of medi.. but other countries have different names for different etphnicities so i don know

Answer 5

mediterranean is not a race, its just a geographic and cultural identifier.

Italians, Spaniards, Portuguese, Greeks and southern French people are considered Caucasians, but culturally they are mediterraneans

People in coastal northern africa are also considered caucasians, however when you go further inland they become more mixed as more nomad populations like berbers, nubians and tuaregs become more prevalent

Answer 6

They are all caucasian, but of a type called Mediterranean due to where they live.In 'old school' archaeology Mediterranean type was generally said to be short,slender and  dark haired,with high cheekbones and long heads.

Answer 7

They are both just like Spaniards and Greeks and Southern French.  Portuguese people are mostly of Mediterranean stock but since Portugal is actually on the Atlantic coast, I didn't include them.  Caucasian is a race and Mediterranean is a region (although Mediterranean people sometimes share common cultural elements).

Answer 8

No, European
