CLASSIFY PASHTUN, KURD AND IRANIAN
- Thread starter Hotaki
- Start date
the pashtun can pass better as kurdish than the iranian (he cant really pass tbh) 😀
- Country

The guy on the left & Middle looks mostly Iranid, with minor Indid or Arabid influences, maybe a bit of Alpinization too.
The kurd of the right looks Asiatic Alpine with Armenoid.

Okay, I’m just comparing regular Iranian Americans to regular Pashtuns from the mountain valleys of Afghanistan and Pakistan but maybe I need to see more Iranians.
I think some mountain tribes can preserve certain phenotypes that more urbanized sedentary communities don’t. I could be wrong.

Do you think Pashtuns seem to have shifted more West Eurasian than Iranians? Then Pashtuns looks like Spanish, İtalian,Greek so Pure Europoid Race lol
will answer later 🙂 this is a ln interesting topic

A lot of Pashtuns can pass as those ethnic groups and yeah they are for the most part Europoid or whatever autistic term is popular these days

Not really. Most Pashtuns are light skinned and fit within the Mediterranean spectrum of skin colors, of course some are brown skinned. Officially Pashtuns are classed as white by US census just as the rest of MENA.

No. The vast majority of Pashtuns cannot pass through Mediterranean Europe, perhaps only 5%. You definitely have a distorted perception and your ideas should not be taken into consideration, at least from my point of view

That’s funny cause I live in America and you live in Konya your whole life.

nope. I have lived in Istanbul all my life and still continue to live. I can easily distinguish an Afghan from a Turk or a Kurd.

Of course you can, just like I can distinguish various ethnicities that I’m surrounded by but your exposure is minimal compared to someone living in a multicultural western country.

Even if I wasn't exposed, it doesn't really matter if I've been exposed, as I understand phenotypes better than you do.
i have seen and met quite a few afghans
you know who in my experience is a typical afghan ? SSIO ...an afghan rapper . google him
he like many pashtuns can not pass as northern west asian at all let alone south europe
but i am aware that there are also a decent amount who do at the same time . some afghans also remind me of "dark" north caucasians

I don’t think so. I guess we have to sort this out in the octagon.
