There are certain individuals in an ethnicity who can't pass at all as their own ethnicity. For the most part, majority of people can still pass as their own ethnicity to varying degrees. Take a look at Tiglat for example AKA GREAT SARGON. He claims to be 7/8 Kurdish but he can't pass as Kurdish. On the other hand there's me who is 3/4 Georgian Jew and I don't pass as a typical Georgian Jew, however I can still somewhat pass.

How frequently found is your looks in Assyrians?
Very frequent, actually I know many who are much lighter than I am.

I wasn't necessarily asking about the skin color. I was asking about the facial features, but if many assyrians are even lighter than you then I wouldn't have expected that not that I was darkwashing Assyrians or anything like that

Yes, facial features too. There are some with blue color eyes, many more with green and light hazel too. Also there are some with red hair, blonde, light brown, but the majority have dark brown hair.
But this all doesn't mean that there are no Assyrians that resemble Arabs or South Asians.

South Asians is a stretch. There are certain limits in an ethnicity that can't be reached in terms of looks.

I don't know if you're aware of FazeRug who's an Assyrian youtuber. Anyway, this is what he and his family members look like.

Not the most typical, but they fit the spectrum.

Why don't they look typical? What makes them shift away from the typical Assyrian look?
Their features, only the person in the back of the photo which looks like their dad has more of a typical features. The mother and the older son don't have a typical look, but obviously exist.

What's not so typical about the mother's and the eldest son's features? What ethnicities do they rather look like in your opinion?

i think your best fit south caucasus and turkey
I remember you saying that you have a Kurdish friend who looks a lot like me. You also told me that I fit well in Turkey but more so in the eastern parts. Do you still think that way or seeing more pictures of myself changed your opinion?

I guess he's atypical for Kurds then, since vengeance thinks that I can only atypically pass as Kurdish and looking at the pictures of Kurds, I kind of agree to his assessment. Anyway, how would you classify me?
