My point is that anyone who has been to Israel can tell you that there are just as many, if not more, Brown and Tan people as there are White people there.

Ireland, by contrast, is predominantly White. Italy is more racially and ethnically diverse than Ireland, but there's still an overwhelming amount of Italian heritage intermixed with mostly Germanic and other Anglo backgrounds. Darker-skinned Italians probably have percentages of their more recent ancestry derived from places such as Turkey, Algeria, Libya, Somalia, Pakistan, and Brazil.
