Greeks

Modern Greeks have dark hair and skin because of centuries of rape and plunder by Turks.
Same reason Sicilians are dark and northern Italians are fair complexion.
Some of you fricking people.

Or, there is a lot of temperate weather in southern Italy/Greece, med coast of Spain, Morocco, etc., and they had a ton of fishermen that spent time in the ... orb that produces tans, which is the sun.

If you were borne of people that have lived in Arizona, you probably have a bit more color than people in Cleveland. You also had the slave trade which moved women across Eurasia (wait, slavery before the USA???) which diversified the gene pool. However, it is a question worth asking why areas which has invasions from the Ottomans and other Arabs still have similar complexions (olive tinged skin, dark hair, etc.) to nearly any country that surrounds the Med. It wasn't just conquer and pillage. I would strongly argue that it was primarily the natural flow and migration of people to where economic opportunity drove them in an area that was easily crossed by boat (and relatively easy) by caravan. Saladin's campaigns didn't last for tens of generations.

I’m sorry but it was the far left that made everything about race,

So that solidifies you as a member of the far left, correct?

They also don't understand how dark Greeks, Italians, Libyans, etc., can be.
