lol wut . if these iranians in the video look like that to you then you would place the many many iranians i have met in my life in ireland xD

There is a big Iranian community where I live (The biggest outside Iran) and most look very different from the ones in the video. I went to university with bunch of Iranians, I also worked with many of them.
Most of the one that I have seen in person have more eastern look than the ones from this video.
I knew few Iranians with fair skin and blue eyes, but they would not pass in Ireland, they would easily pass in Balkans though..

Most of the Iranians in the video are quite light. Also their features are more Mediterranean than what I had expected.

Half is a big percentage. Wouldn't you say so? I didn't say 100%.
yeah, its high, but you say it as if most pass. though its only in first pic most pass, while some of other pics below 40 percent passes as italian

and when i say italian, i mean south italian
but yeah, a huge chunk of iranians do pass in south italy easily

according to MY experience having met and known many iranians in my life ....the iranians in this video are way more exotic than the ones i have met / known

i can show you how the typical iranians i have met look like in general

According to your experience, maybe, but according to mine what I said still stands. Most of the people in the video look lighter and have more pan Mediterranean features than what I have seen in real life. And I have seen and interacted with quite a few of them.

The steppe and South Asian cancel eachother out, Pashtuns have more steppe than Elamite Iroonis.

it does only to a certain point . the south asian pashtuns have running in their veins is very significant

your atttempt to compete with "iroonis" is pretty ridiculous

Irooni is how Iranians themselves pronounce it in the old school Tehrooni dialect of Persian. It's not a slur or anything.

Im not competing, just pointing out that the people interviewed in that video can't pass in Italy or Germany. They are very ignorant and don't know that Persian is spoken in Afghanistan and Tajikistan. LOL.

dude, i think they say ''germany'' because nazi-iran times. thanks to nazi-german propaganda, the population assumes the kinship between germany and iran

on the other hand, they simply say italian, clearly meaning south italian, because many do look south italian. really many
