He wants to say he’s white, but not one of those swarthy Greeks or Italians that make his bloodline impure.

If I remember right, there are only 3 countries that have coastlines at the Mediterranean Sea AND the Atlantic ocean. Spain, France and Morocco.

My guess is, he uses such a weird definition because he is North African but wants to highlight his not being brown, because that doesn't go well with his white supremacy.

all three of those being famous for their pale complexions, of course.

There's a certain level of racist that gets really involved in classifying humans into small subcategories so they can know how racist they should be to each one. Used to be popular with "scientific racism" in the 19th century, but you don't see it much anymore.

It's extra weird.

If I had to guess, after seeing this weird shit and watching too much pseudo-archaology debunking stuff lately: he means the descendants of the Mediterranean and Atlantian people. There's a crazy group of people who think Atlantis is real, and either had a worldwide advanced culture, or at least through the Mediterranean.

The Atlantis myth was heavily accepted by the Nazis as the ancestors of the Aryan people, which is why the Aryans are "so much better" than everyone else. It is still a popular tool to belittle ancient people and to say their accomplishments had to be done instead by this white Atlantian group instead.

It means one of their grandparents is from Italy, otherwise it'd be "Northern European".
