I don’t see it personally because I probably pay more attention to threads pertaining to west Asia, but I’ve seen on places like r/phenotypes that Latinos are accused of wanting to pass off Latin Americans as European. And I remember someone posted Spanish YouTuber illojuan and he was accused of...
I see that waaay more than I do with gulf Arab to be honest. He looks extremely atypical there to be honest. When I imagine gulf Arabs, I imagine people who resemble mbs, MBZ, or people who vaguely look mulatto or even south Asian. I’ve seen some saudis at my college who have gotten mistaken for...
I did point out that he did resemble king Mohammed vi, especially when the king was in his younger days. But I don’t think he said he is Moroccan unless I didn’t catch it

I’m honestly still a little shook GMstack90 is Bedouin to be honest. He doesn’t look like the peninsular Arabs I’ve seen. Unless I just have a really skewed image of them. I always imagined them having very narrow faces and pointed features. I would have seen him passing better as...
And yes, of course I don’t disagree there. But Spain collectively doesn’t pass as British as a whole. People always use the northern regions to explain that. It’s like saying all Turkish people pass as Balkan or central euro because there are Turks, especially in the west who have ancestry from...

To me I feel Iberian have their own look distinct from those 2 groups imo. So I wouldn’t say there is a lot. But I feel Spaniards and especially Portuguese passing as British is over exaggerated. London is filled with Spaniards and usually British people are able tell them apart from native Brits.
To add to it, I feel what a lot of anthroforums fail at is to recognize that west Asia and south Europe has phenotypical diversity. Like with Spanish, you will find people who can pass as Maghreb better than Britain for example or some Spaniards can pass better as British and look nothing west...
Remember that one Spanish guy on TA who only posted blonde Spaniards from the northeast region and children, who we all know tend to be lighter than the adults by default, and shits so hard on west Asians and always talks about Spaniards passing as British? He tried so hard to orientalize North...
I added more pictures with different lightings. What is it that makes me more Armenian than Levantine. Plus u have to think there are levantines who have Armenian ancestry which u might be confusing
