Iberian and Turkish teams comparison

First of all, I'm not open this thread to provoke anyone. And I know genetically and culturally Iberians are of course undoubtedly European and the other hand Turks are maybe have more Euro-admixture than their eastern neighbours such as MENA or Caucasus people but still they are genetically West Asian mostly. And mostly people don't considired them as European exactly.

I've never been to Spain or Portugal and I've been watching football and basketball for years and in these sports the people in the Turkish teams are always seemed to be more lighter or same skin toned than those in Spain and Portugal. (I know Spain or Portugal don't have full of native players but I'm already talking about just native Iberians. Also in Turkish team Ferdi and Kenan is not fully Turkish so we cannot count two. But I already talking about fully Turkish and fully Iberian players.) Here are the pics:

Many people think Turks are something like Middle Eastern and Arab and Iberians are undoubtedly European but I don't see any difference in pigmentation, even Turkish team is slightly lighter. I'm not claiming that Turks are obviously lighter skinned than Iberians or something but I just don't understand why there is such an impression. For example, the Georgian team (genetically completely West Asian) also looks lighter than the Iberians. If I open this thread to Apricity probably everyone would stone me and they keep saying that I'm OWD.

i have a feeling that this thread may cause a bit of a controversy. but firstly, a few turkish players on the turkish roster are part european afaik. secondly, turks are distinct people since not only anatolian turks have some euro shift compared to other west asians but they also have a decent chunk of east eurasian that other west asian ethnicities are bereft of. thirdly, northern west asian ethnicities are heavily darkwashed irl and online. in reality the gap in "whiteness" between mediterranean euros and some northern west asians is slim.

also many euro teams opt out for recruiting foreign players who dont fit in the said countries. as le fuckeur said yesterday, turkish team literally was whiter than the dutch team

yeah but i’m talking about native iberian and native turkish and georgian players. as i said i don’t claiming turks or geoegians as a whole lighter than iberians (we cannot decided this) but in the most sports i’ve watched always their team looks slightly lighter than iberian teams.

no need to be too cautious when talking about this . europeans are not all the same ....they pretend as if all europeans look very similar and when you cross the bosporus people suddenly look like bin laden and fly on carpets etc. . while in reality south europeans and balkans are clearly different from north euros and northern west asians have big overlap with south europeans and balkan people . period . no need to apologize for stating this fact . our people have been darkwashed and misportrayed for too long and enough is enough

the problem is that the truth is that our peoples (especially Turks and Georgians) have big overlap with Europeans both in looks and genetics

it is still controversial to speak about this truth . and subhuman trolls come from all corners calling us terms and trying to cockblock us from muh yurop . they view being europeans as superior and do not want to "grant" us the overlap

but it is how it is

the worst is when they try to darkwash our people . we post 1000000 normal people of our ethnicity and they will say we cherrypick because it doesnt match with their wrong stereotype they have about our peoples . when it comes to turks they will say "they kidnapped bosnians " and shit like that . you cant win

true but i have seen turks and georgians who will cockblock other northern west asian ethnicities from sharing an overlap with them and euros by calling them "middle eastern"

Objectively speaking, the Turkey football team looks lighter-skinned, but the Spaniards still look distinctly European, while the Turks look more West Asian.
i also don't agree about this but first we should decide what is european facial features.
