I see. So is my dad Pashtun looking? What pheno do Pashtuns fall in? I thought they were iranic people. But they might fall with the North Indians. I saw this Pashtun guy from Afghanistan once and he looked Iranian.

the problem is that there is no such thing as a uniform "iranic people" . or an "iranic look"

think about it . Ossetians , Tajiks , Balochs are all Iranic for example but look different

it is linguistics more than anything

iranian is not only a "stretch" . it is impossible .

why do many south asians in forums think they look iranian . fml
A lot Pakistanis especially the liberals are brainwashed into thinking that linguistics and race are the same thing. It’s liberal propaganda in Pakistan.

He looks partly Pashtun but he mainly looks Muhajir Pathan. I feel like Muhajir pathans constitute their own ethnicity due to years of mixing and different political and cultural values. He’s a Karachiwala not a KPKer.

do you mean the "muh iranic" ? but this bro is half indic no ?
No like a lot of liberal socialists in Pakistan overplay the Iranic vs Indic thing in Pakistan cause they’re stupid and brainwashed and don’t know shit about genetics, history and anthropology. All the ethnofascist parties in Pakistan are filled with idiots like that.

bro look :

you seem to be a nice person so dont get this wrong but you dont look iranian AT ALL . iranians look very different from you and your father . trust me . i am basically a "west iranic" person and have also met many iranians in my life and am very familiar with how they look

you look undoubtly south asian . northern south asian to be exact . so does your father

i noticed long ago that there are many northern south asian people in forums who wrongly think they look iranian . while 95% of them dont even pass as atypical

if you looked iranian i would have told you dont worry .

i know it might come off kinda harsh aka "YOU SHALL NOT PASS" lol . but like i said i have ot be honest

and member natufian hunter gatherer is not good with passing people . he said i would pass atypically as north european even though thats impossible. he often says crazy stuff
If you say so. And no worries I understand lol. Thanks for your input once again and may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon you.

Thank you all for your input. I thought I looked partly Iranian because my anthropology friend and natufian both pointed it out, but after reading the comments from the others, I think it’s safe to say that I’m basically a North Indian, which I’m proud of. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter what we look like or where we come from because we are all God’s creations, and he doesn’t look at the looks but rather the heart. The only thing we will be taking to our grave is not our looks but our deeds. We all come from the same mother and father and we are all brothers and sisters. May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon you all. Thanks.

Indic is a linguistic group, you can’t be half Indic the way you can’t be half Iranic but yeah his heritage is mainly south Asian

just to clarify though :

iranic term at the same time does have some meaning . west iranics are definitely similar to each other and related to each other . Kurds , Ossetians , Talysh , Gilakis , Lurs , north Persians without south asian admx etc. . . we do share stuff together and it is similar to Scottish - Irish - Welsh - English etc . even though for some odd reason persians often look different from us Kurds nonetheless

but people like pashtuns and balochs are different from us . even though with pashtuns it also depends . for example the "pashtun north afghanistan " from the G25 database is not that much different from northwest Iranics . but even that sample has a lot less EEF than us and also has 8 % or so AASI which we dont have

but thinking that any muh iranic speaker from eastern Turkey all the way to Pakistan are similar to each other is nonsense .

even Romanians and Portuguese are not exactly the same even though they are both Romance people and both european . for example . so how do people expect us northwest Iranics to be like the southcentral asian people lol

beautiful words .

just to clarify something though :

a person can be partially of the Iranid phenotype but still not look Iranian . and i am not sure if you might have Iranid on your type . hard to say

also some Iranians especially Persians can look south asian esque . but those who do also look different from you .

in my opinion you can only pass in pakistan . i can not even see india much to be honest . but not sure maybe i am wrong about this one
