Georgian Jews. What do you think about their overall phenotype?

[Ben Dover]

yes he says that west georgians such as svans , mingrelians are not mixed unlike south and east georgians who are mixed with armenians and azeris . he is not really wrong though ....because most west georgians seem to have been more isolated and south and east georgians often get modelled as "60% abkhasian + 40% armenian" or some shitz on gedmatch

but if we are reaaally nitpicky then we could say that svans and mingrelians are rather an offshoot of georgians and not the main kartvelian group constituting georgia

and yes . most georgian members in forums told me i can pass as georgian . some even said i pass easily and one guy said he has even a friend looking like me . but frowning man said i can only pass in south and east but that i look azeri and armenian most

I guess in his eyes both of us pass fairly similarly in the same regions, but the difference is that I am closer to georgians than you are genetically

you pass better as georgian than me because i look more "ethnic" than you

You mean ethnic kurdish?

 

[Kurdquistador]

You mean ethnic kurdish?

no i mean i am woggier than you .

 

[Ben Dover]

no i mean i am woggier than you .

I am quite woggy myself

 

[Kurdquistador]

I am quite woggy myself

i look more exotic than you

 

[Ben Dover]

i look more exotic than you

If you say so

 

[Kurdquistador]

Having seen these many pictures of georgian jews I would assume you would have an answer to that question but yes I think you do pass well as a georgian jew, since georgian jews themselves have a tendency to resemble kurds and your best fit is kurdish too.

If you were to mix in a georgian jewish crowd no one would say anything to you if you identified yourself as a jew(not a georgian jew necessarily) since they are naïve and don't differentiate themselves from ashkenazi and sephardic jews

i actually can not tell if i can pass well . thats why i am asking

and you think i can only pass because there are kurdish looking georgian jews ? . i mean regardless of that is what i would like to know

Man I already told you that you can in my opinion. What else do you want me to say

ok . why are you angry though

@skidrow Nevermind. I am just pissed off at how ignorant my ethnicity is and the fact that they don't give a shit about the truth that's all

 

[Kurdquistador]

 

[Ben Dover]

@skidrow I would say this the one of the most common look that many georgian jewish males exhibit. How well do you think your phenotype compares to his? Also, how would you classify and pass him?

 

[Kurdquistador]

i dont know to be honest . to both of your questions

but i guess him and me can be the same ethnicity

Could he also have pan Northern west asian look? Or is his phenotype all over the place?

 

[Kurdquistador]

he has something very balkan about him . also i somehow cant see him as pan northern west asian for some reason . he also doesnt look kurdish to me ....but we both still could be the same ethnicity even though i am more woggy / exotic than him

wouldn't he be too exotic and out of the place in the balkans? I would say that he can even pass better as a peninsular arab than as a balkan

LOL ....notsureifsrs

he can easily pass in balkans especially in the south . he can not even pass as gulf arab at all
