I mean that the Iberians I can see as passing better as southern Italian than as British are the ones with very Med phenotypes, i.e. not Atlantids, Atlanto Meds or those type of Iberians who many of us cite as very "western" looking. Ones who look like Penelope Cruz, Xavi Hernandez, Pau Gasol, etc. are the ones who would pass as southern Italian rather than say, Iker Casillas who looks like Orlando Bloom's twin.

Granted, I am only saying this because the thread here is not comparing Italy and Iberia as a whole but very far southern Italy with Iberia as opposed to Britain and Iberia. So it really depends on which Iberians you're looking at. I was also saying that Berbers IMO do overlap to an extent with Iberians and Sardinians.
