They said the same about Italians too. as an aside i wonder how many of these one in five are half and half's?

Well, a lot of Hispanics are also European. Two people who lived in my dorm in college were Puerto Ricans with incredibly blonde hair and blue eyes and a lot of Hispanics think of themselves as "white". That's why race questionaires often go out of their way to get Hispanic people to identify as Hispanic and not white and also why they don't seem interested in recording mixed races.

The reality is that a lot of "white" people also have traces of American Indian and other races and ethnicities in them and if you family is from Southern Italy or Sicily, it's quite likely that there are some Arabs and even North Africans in your distant family tree. Sarah Palin's husband and children are mixed race, too.

I think you mean Moors, and they are definately not Arab. And they mostly penetrated Spain. Scicily, and the Canary Islands and Azores actually are the pure Roman populations that left europe because of the Moors and the islamic terror they brought.
