Do Greeks look more like Spanish/Portuguese, or Arabs? (people, features, nationality)

Obviously they have distinct features but if you had to choose which are closer? If this will turn into an argument, just vote.

Stupid thread. They are Mediterranean and tanned so therefore look like other Mediterranean European countries such as Italy and Spain

Somebody seems to be obsessing about his or her ethnicity for some reason. They all look Mexican to my white ass. Does that settle it?

I agree with the earlier posters. I'm not sure why it's important to know what other people think a particular nationality 'looks' like. I suspect your a younger man who puts too much thought into these matters.

As someone who is very familiar with the Greek phenotype however, I would say 80% of Greeks display the common Greek phenotype, which I would describe as southern European. The remainder are split between, what the OP called Arab appearance, and a northern, or central european appearance.

After this one I don't plan on posting other threads like this. I saw this question on Yahoo Answers and brought it here (and the other one I posted here was more to compare personal experiences with unbiased views).

Well, if you've merely transplanted something from another site, we'll close the thread and move on.
