clearly somewhere in west asia maybe iranian ? There is some diversity they do not all look like they belong to the same ethnicity

they are actually Moldovans lel

i am not sure if the guy (or maybe someone else) could have gypsy mix but i doubt it because none looks gypsy imo .

by the way moldovans are more northern than romanians and bulgarians often . they have more north euro and less caucasus and less west-central asian if i am not wrong . so you can find even more west asian-nish romanians and bulgarians than this


Moldova :

come on some of them look even darker and more MENA than south europeans, clearly many of them aren't fully native

WTF? Never thought about Moldova.

But when I see their president, it makes sense to me. Very North Western Asian looking.

BTW, I know an Ezdi Kurd from Kyiv (non-blood relative of me) who is married to a Moldovan woman. Somehow she also does look 'Caucasian' to me.

I knew for a time a lot of balkanians passes easily amongst west asians and vice versa. Thought that since i watched a harry potter movie(apparently some bulgarian wizards arrived to Hogwarts, and some looked really west asian to me).

Eventually seen more west asians and south euros, and i got more convinced a lot look like each other.

Balkanians looks like a cross between germans and turks


Lots of west eurasians(90%+) just look like each other, no matter where theyre from, with some scandinavians and iranians looking more like their own type


Though out of all the pics, i say third girl, girl with glasses and second last girl are most typical for balkanians. The others are more on the southern cline of looks

West eurasians are almost pure caucasoids regardless of west eurasian being northern west asian and european. When it comes to looks that's the only similarity you are going to find between scandinavians and kurds for example. Both groups are almost purely caucasoid

I will say, yes, i think half/most looks "distinctly european", like darker germans or average germans/scandis, who looks distinct to west asians in general, from Bulgaria to Bosnia.
But a lot also looks pretty turkish

hmm . i dont think it works like this

in my personal opinion the west eurasians are a continuum rather
Nah, it does. Look at pamiris, yagnobis, lots of iranians etc
Most can easily pass as balkanians(southern passing ones). Most coastal berbers also looks like west asians and south euros.

I will say, most of europe has their own distinct "euro" looks, which can easily pass amongst each other(most bulgarians passes easily as darker scandis and english)
