If you dress as a local (and don't speak) where do you think you'll pass without being seen as a foreigner ?

Personally I think no one will know I'm a foreigner in those countries :

Be careful, I'm not saying I look like all these people just that I will pass without being categorized by regular people as a foreigner at first sight

What makes you think that regular people wouldn't spot you as a foreigner at first sight in Nepal?

I literally got mistaken for a thai and for a filipino by filipinos themselves (one lady even told me I was lying because I'm ashamed of my filipino roots lol ) so I don't see why not in nepal where they don't look that much east asian nor too south asian like their neighbours. If I tan a bit and dress like your regular nepalese I doubt they'll know I'm a foreigner.

@Nassbean I objectively can't pinpoint the countries and geographical regions where I would pass. If you have any kind of opinion about where I would broadly pass in these conditions then feel free to say it

 

[Kurdquistador]

Only in Northern West Asia. Turkish region is also part of NW Asia, but I didn’t select that part because I don't look Turkish/Turkic at all. Turks are mostly an ugly mixture of Turanid and Armenoide phenotypes. And I don't have any of those phenotypes.

you just called me partly ugly bro !

For you I'd say something like this :

For you I'd say something like this :

I am not so sure about jordan and iraq since those people are plain arabs for the most oart and I don't look arabic that's for sure. Most of syria counts as well. Israel is perplexing because there are all types of people there but I might have an overlap with med looking individuals.

I assume you chose southern america and mexico/cuba because of portuguese/spanish populations living there.

This is just my most objective opinion.

@vengeance how would you draw up the map for me broder

Iraq has a sizeable amount of people who look very different from your usual brown skinned arab especially in the north and even many "arabs" there are full of iranian ancestry. As for Jordan do not exaggerate most of them look like regular levantines. I really doubt folks there will see you as a foreigner be careful like I said it's not about looking like the locals but only partially enough to be taken for a local.

 

[Kurdquistador]

No. I said a mixture between Turanid and Armenoid can be very ugly. 'Pure' Turanid or 'pure' Armenoide can be very beautiful, but a mixture of both that we can find mostly in the Anatolian Turks is fugly as hell.

There are many Kurds who have some Armenoide phenotype in them, but not many have both Turanid and Armenoide at the same time. If any Kurd has that than he/she is mixed for sure.

there are some kurds who are not mixed who can be turanid . as weird as it is lol . but they are atypical

 

[Kurdquistador]

You make Zoro very happy by saying this.

zoro posted these guys as kurds

I don't look like a regular levantine tho even though I can moderately pass there. Maybe if my face is partly invisible or something even more then perhaps. So even if sizeable amount of jordanians look like regular levantines there are still a lot who look like arabs.

When it comes to iraq, only in the northern parts would I pass but northern iraqi is mostly inhabited by assyrians and kurds and as vengeance said I can only atypically pass as kurdish. I can also imagine that I don't pass as assyrian that well maybe moderately.

to be seen as a foreigner in iraq or jordania you would have to look north euro, indian (even this I'm not sure) , east asian or black lol again stop exaggerating I never said you looked like the average iraqi and do not listen to vengeance even though I love him he still always exaggerate if we had to listen to him there is zero diversity and overlap between ethnicities is impossible. If you look like him or european then you can be kurd hahah

I don't agree with iraq and jordan thing but vengeance thinks that I look more southern euro than anything else so for you to say that I need to look euro for him to pass me as kurdish is false
