Everyone who I have met in my life has considered me white. I am guessing you think that because many Italians have Arabian features that they are a whole separate race. Well, let me tell you that the original Italians were as white as the British and Germans are today. Much of Italy, especially Sicily was conquered by the Saracens (Arabs) after the fall of Rome but many of the Arabians and Italians had intermixed earlier because they often traded together. There is a gradient in Italy as you go down from North Italy, where there are German speakers, to Sicily where there are some Muslims and the skin tone gets darker as you go down. However, the original Italians as well as the original Greeks and other Mediterranean people were definitely white.
