I think cypriots are a wonderful mix, perhaps a legacy of invasions of past, the colour of your skin does not determine how cypriot you are or if you are cypriot at all.

Are all cypriots short ? :)

My great friend 'Solly Snitzmandorf' tells me that most have undergone name changes for personal reasons (God Bless), HE however is sure that his name is quite genuine. :wink:

There are more black British, Americans, French, Swedish etc than there are black Cypriots. Until recently seeing a black person in Cyprus was something very rare. But in my school I remember we had 1 black student (out of 1000 or so).

Must of been sneaking in and out the back door 'cause I've seen some Cyps with distinct African features: kinky hair, flat nose, full lips, or some combination thereof. Years ago, I met a black man whose Cypriot was impeccable.

Are you another idiot?

Buxton who had earlier studied Greek skeletal material and measured modern Greeks, especially in Cyprus, finds that the modern Greeks “possess physical characteristics not differing essentially from those of the former [ancient Greeks].”

No, but perhaps you are? Do you understand the meaning of "some" and the proximity of Cyprus to Africa?
