If Thracian Turks aren't "European" then neither are Maltese or Dodecanese Greeks.

[TheStonerOne]

All of Thrace is in Europe. Including its largest part in modern day Turkey. 0% of Malta is in Europe; it's only seen as "Europe" because of "political geography" but it was always seen as North Africa. The Dodecanese is LITERALLY IN and UNDER ANATOLIA. There are also key genetic differences between mainland Greeks and Dodecanese Greeks. Macedonian Greeks are 40% Slavic. Peloponnese Greeks are ~30% Slavic. Dodecanese Greeks are 3.5% Slavic. That is probably LESS than a Anatolian KURD ffs.

All of these groups are shifted to the Middle East. All of these groups have darker skin. Just saying.
