Mike Imperioli looks what he is mediterranean.if people say he looks peurto rican its because some peurto ricans do have light skin and look more caucasian.which makes sense since peurto rico was once a european colony. revealing maternal ancestries in this highly mixed population of 61.3% Amerindian, 27.2% sub-Saharan African, and 11.5% West Eurasian. dienekes.blogspot.com/2005/02/mtdna-of-puerto-rico.htmlview some anceint greeks dienekes.angeltowns.net/anyway many Puerto Ricans can pass for Mexican,why,because its the Amerindian ancestry.Now do you think Mike can pass for Mexican? No, mexican's look more mongoloid in my opinion. At least the ones where I live do. They also have much darker skin. |

Droop! Greek colonizied much of Italy not just parts of Sicily.Magna Grecia was just south of the city of Rome,while Rome itself has its roots with the Etruscans and greeks.
Sicily before the Romans arrived already where a Tri-linguel people ,they spoke Greek,Punic and Latin.
Archimedes should really be classified as a Sicilian not as a Greek.
Nick turturro looks like an dinaric-alpine.

Mexico 106,202,903 Puerto Rico Population: 3,916,632 No kidding they have more Amerindian ancestry Mexico is 100X more people. Look ,now tell which people are Mexican and which ones are Puerto Ricans (Yes they are Puerto Ricans and Mexicans students)  |

The poster who provided us with the matrilineal dna info helps establish my point. I said: Where white Puerto Ricans are mixed, it's usually with Indian. And the stat he provided (for maternal ancestry only) 61.3% Amerindian. Black was 27.2%.
But you have to remember: Puerto Ricans are not a monolithic populace. 8% of the island is called outright "black" in the census. So that 27.2% gets smaller--because whites and blacks are lumped in together in the study. When one factors out the black Puerto Ricans, the whites with black materilineal dna are like 10%.
Dr. Mark Shriver bowled me over. It might be voodoo science, but he estimated that up to 1/3rd of white Americans have black ancestry. That's 33.3%.
Far higher than the white Puerto Rican population. And the Native American admixture in US whites is even higher.
Just goes to show you: The New World has a lot going on under the surface. . . . But so much the better: Less chance for European-style imbreds.
A heartier genetic populace.

Lurker4now, It's easy to tell Puerto Ricans from Mexicans. The average Mexican has far more Aztec genetic influence. And the Caribbean Indians of Puerto Rico have an entirely different look. [Caribbean Indians are from South America.] Only a complete nincompoop would confuse an Incan Indian from Peru with an Aztec from Mexico. Entirely different phenotype. As one rises in the socio-economic classes of both Mexico and Puerto Rico, the people would be indistiguishable--because they would be the descendants of Spaniards. But toward the middle and lower-classes, the looks change [based on the Amerinidic influences]. Aztecs tend to be squatter--like the Mongolian populace they came from. The stereotype [and I know it's mean--forgive me] is that they have smallish hooked noses, neckless torsos, and an Amerindic lack of body hair. A race of Barney Rubbles [like the young man in the extreme right of the photo.]
This is quite a contrast to Mediterraneans--who are literally the world's second-hairiest race
This contrast was no more evident than in the 1998 film "Traffic," where they cast 6'2'' hazel-eyed [Puerto Rican] Benicio Del Toro as a Mexican cop and the actor who played his side-kick [who really WAS Mexican] was 5'1'', had no neck, Mongolian-straight black hair and Aztec features. It was a comedy of miscasting: The 6'2'' Mediterranean Del Toro SHOULD have been cast as a Mexican grandee, a rich man--if at all. [Like 6'5'' President Vicente Fox.]
But to have cast him as the partner of the little Aztec guy was funny--like casting Cary Grant as the side-kick or Gary Coleman.

K5125,
Out of curiosity, how did you arrive at the conclusion that Michael Imperioli looked like an average Puerto Rican?? He looks as Sicilian as it gets lol!! Therefore, if anything, he looks maybe more Greek than Italian, and I think I have the same nose and eyebrows as this guy.
Also, as far as Nick Turturro goes (who's been mentioned now for the 100th time I think lol), I wouldn't at all discount the possibility of Gypsy heritage since he looks so unlike a typical Italian. Quite a few Gypsies passed themselves off as citizens of their host countries since they first arrived in Europe about a thousand or so years ago. They did this in order to escape persecution by assimilating. Gypsies are still mostly concentrated in southeastern Europe, especially the Balkans but also in Italy too.

Actually, when I saw him in clockers (this movie about inner city brooklyn) he looked really puerto rican. Maybe its more his attitude more than his looks. I don't know. The funny thing is in that movie he played an Italian crooked cop who didn't like "niggers" or "spics" as he liked to call them. Kind of ironic, I though he could easily pass as a "spic." |

[quote author=drooperdoo
Puerto Rico's is, by contrast--white 80.5%, black 8%, Amerindian 0.4%, Asian 0.2%, mixed and other 10.9%
gambler> In Puerto Rico one drop of white blood and you are no longer black.I don't believe those stats.People wrote on the census what they wanted.
droperado> In similar genetic tests, they found that where white Puerto Ricans are mixed it's usually with Indians--not blacks. . . . Whereas in Cuba, the opposite is true.
The genetic studies were done on all types of Puerto Ricans not just White Ricans.
