Yes, I am aware that Italy is a Pennisula and that it has experienced several invasions by Arabs, Spanish, etc.
Also, I know that Southern Italy was originally settled by Greeks.
Why I am so curious is because I am Southern Italian American and I am unsure of how to classify myself. People either want to paint us white or black. I was wondering what science has to say about this. I know that Race is an illusion but I still have to fill out legal forms. I have heard the saying "Africa begins at Rome" but I was wondering how true the saying is now due to DNA testing.
Thank you please help me solve my identity crisis.

Africa begins at Rome??????????? THE MODERN WORLD begins at ROME. If it wasn't 4 th glorious roman empire, th world would lack these: engineering, archctecture, modern cities, road systems, governments, the best art and music, the most talented musicians, great cuisine, bridges, water supply systems, etc.
All of this spread throughout th civilized world and were adopted eventually by all countries.
You are Italian & white. Don't let the clowns brainwash you.
Rome is in northern Italy.
PS: "There's alot of Italian in everyone."

No identity crisis.
Legal forms will say 'black', 'white'...etc.
Ask most people from southern Italy in America and 99% will check white.
I noticed you said 'Greeks' as well.
That's checked as 'White' on legal forms also.
