Who said that north was better than south. I am Italian, Black, Native, and Scots-Irish definitely not pure anything. But your argument is baseless. If you are willing to acknowledge 2.5% of your roots as Middle Eastern, why won’t you accept the Celtic, Germanic, and Roman, Italic, Greek, and Norman elements that flow in your blood as well including Catalan which had a strong presence in Napoli where you’re from? Funny you being from there would not mention stronger Catalan (Spanish) influences. Many slaves were Middle Eastern, but an equally great number were Germanic/Slavic, including many Slavic mercenaries who settled Italy (have you ever watched King Arthur). North Africa and the Middle East were sparse as it was mostly desert, which the Roman Empire did not pass the fringes of the Sahara. On the other hand, the Slavic speaking areas of Europe were extremely dense and absorbed by the Roman Empire. Plus I have already established the fact that North Africa at the time was not Arab, rather they were Berber/Punic.
