I realize that caucasians are supposed to be hairier than blacks and asians, but is there a particular nationality within the race that is significantly hairier than others? I have known some Italians and some Turks that were extremely hairy-- chest,stomach, back,arms and legs, basically just a whole lot of hair all over, and they could have shaved twice a day and still wind up with a “five oclock shadow”! I suppose people this hairy probably occur in every nationality, but I don’t really know? Does any one want to share thoughts on the subject?
