I think nmh is just having a bad day....you are right.
There are some people out there totally oblivious to facts and experience. Bad day are not, they are immune to arguments and logic.
You have acknowledged the obvious, that there are millions of blond haired, blue and green eyed, light complexioned, Italians. I have seen many in my travels throughtout the Piedmont and Central Italy. I haven't seen anyone in Italy that looked similar to Adnan, although I saw some dark people in Napoli. Thanks for your response.
