i have seen many people in forums claim that kurds and afghans look alike .

people seem to think that because both groups are iranic speakers that this means that we look alike . but that is nonsense . there is no such thing as "iranic look" to begin with since the iranic speakers are many different ethnic groups with many differences . for example yagnobis are iranic , balochis are iranic . tell me how they look alike . give me a break .

and ossetians are iranic too yet you will not see many people linking ossetians and kurds regarding looks even though we overlap 1000x more with ossetians than with afghans both lookwise and genetically . i have even seen some claim that ossetians are not iranic other than their language ....what the fuck does that mean ? they say that only because ossetians are closest to other caucasus peoples . but as i said we kurds are closer to ossetians than to pashtuns ....WAY closer . yet this is not taken into account . double standards much ? give me a fucking break


afghans fucking dont look like kurds . and they dont look like other northern west asian peoples either (except some individuals) . of course there are afghans who will look like northern west asian people . some afghans can even look polish like or something . but in general afghans look VERY foreign to me . very few of them could pass as my ethnicity and they look very different from us . it is very obvious

afghans have a shit ton of south asian / AASI . which we kurds dont have

afghans have a lot less early european farmer . we kurds have a lot of it

afghans have less caucasus hunter gatherer admix than us

afghans are geographically very far from us . look at a map

afghans inhabit a different natural environment / fauna than us

afghans are genetically pretty far from us . just for the record we are comfortably closer to greeks , albanians , south italians , bulgarians than to afghans . if you dont believe me i can show you


let us look into afghan and kurdish photos and compare

and nobody can accuse me of cherrypicking the afghans either because they were posted by another owd afghan on TA

Good thread. The afghan members from TA are owd. I remember one of them who did not like me because I show what Afghans look more on average vs the false agenda that some of them push over on TA, that they are a blonde ethnic group or something. Similar to how North Africans themselves tend to post many blondes as typical North Africans.

This thread show closer to the reality.

forget about blondeness .....they dont look like us northern west asian peoples . only individually some of them can pass . other than that they dont look like us and they are also both geographically and genetically far away from us . foreign people

people seem to think only because we both speak an iranic language that we look similar but that is not true . they are eastern "iranics" for once and they have a lot less early european farmer than us and they have a shit ton of AASI which we dont have . they also have less caucasus than us . we are far northwest iranics . there is no such thing as a uniform "iranic people" anyway . language is not race

this anthromyth that afghans look like us has to end . as you can see it is very obvious that they dont look like us

Yea the blondeness is one thing. But yes, agreed. They actually look closer to north Indians or light Pakis than they do with Kurds or Turks. I even say they look a bit closer to Gypsies than with Kurds.

They don't look like Kurds or any Transcaucasian, for sure.

I don't understand this anthro-forum obsession of claiming ethnic groups arbirtarily, I see Sikeliot posting shit for Greeks and Italians all the time on the 23ame sub-reddit and trying to turn them into Lebanese. He also tries to turn Pontic Greeks into Iraqis, of all people, ffs.

many people in forums seem to be simple minded dumbasses who like to either "go with the flow" and repeat stuff that others say AND/OR they just superficially think/claim nonsense based on their own personal assumptions . aka "kurds speak an iranic language and afghans too so kurds look like afghans" , "pontic greeks dont clusterz with yuropeenz on the old eurogenes k15 calculatur so they are MEEEENAAAAAAA herp derp"

it is getting old really

I don't care if Pontics are not considered Europeans, tbh, this sort of being "European" and having such an identity is a kinda iffy thing in Greece, anyways, and always was, people are still angry over the Frankish Crusade, lol, I guess it has something to do with the Orthodox Church being hostile to the West, in general.

And I really don't mind when Turks from the Black Sea, or Georgians or Armenians point out the common ethnography, which is indeed common, but what rubs me the wrong way is ridiculous personas like that Sikeliot, constantly posting fake profiles on reddit of supposed Pontics (who never respond or understand when someone replies in the Pontic dialect) and saying that Pontic Greeks are Iraqis, Levantines and Arabs, ffs.

Why would anyone post crap like that?

well people have agendas unfortunately

can you believe that people accused me of having agendas to "whitewosh" kurds ? . fucking sick

i am posting 1000000 kurds from all provinces including group pics and videos etc. . and i get accused of cherrypicking . hilarious . it is because when they see our faces it doesnt match with their wrong image of us that they have in their head that we are a gyps-oid looking people etc. . so we look "too white" for them because they éxpect us to look like punjabis or something .

imagine someone said that greeks look like yemenis and then when you prove them wrong by posting a lot of greeks they be saying "onyx you whitewash greeks ! "

i think such people actually deserve to be beaten up and put in hospital for some time . i mean it

The guy is completely unhinged. He's made multiple fake accounts just to post his stupid narrative on r/23andMe, when people call him out on his real identity he deletes the account and moves onto another. A deeply annoying and idiotic poster that should've left the community a long time ago

regardless if one agrees with sikeliot or not . we should not talk about him here because he is not here to take a stance . i know i talked about him a few times myself in the past in other forums because he annoyed me too especially with the nonsense he said about my ethnicity . but let us not talk about him here
