Yes but as a whole Italians are white Europeans. Yes they have quite a mix mainly down south but northern Italians... Same with spaniards!
If not then what are they?" Black? Asian?
To be honest with you, it doesn't matter what race anyone is. My racist tendencies are starting to bother me as of late, lol.
I've met mixed Italians, some are beautiful blonde haired, blue eyed, and others are tanned olive skin, hazel eye beauties too.
But to be technical, Italians are considered Caucasians.
