an ukrainian yesterday said to me this :

"You look like my bro =)

Really. I'd say that you can pass as a Slav, but mostly you do look like my friend from Israel. But I'd say that your look is mostly as Egyptian?.. I don't know. At the same time some of features remind me of my friends from Caucasus. But I'm not sure in this."



so i pass as a slav but not in cyprus . haha :D right . dont mind the "egyptian" thing . i noticed people often think that egyptians look northern west asian and they are not aware that many egyptians show ssa in their face and are also a lot darker etc.

by the way i have given reply bans in this thread because i dont want the thread to get 100 pages of arguing etc. . so dont be surprised when you notice that you can not reply

i just wanted to share the post of the ukrainian person with you . it clearly shows that some people are biased as fuck .

i dont try to be european by the way . i hope nobody gets me wrong here . i am proud to be west asian and love it . i am only saying that many people have guessed me as south european + balkan in real life AND online especially when they dont know my ethnicity yet . and many southern europeans said that i can pass among them even after they knew my ethnicity

southern europeans in forums are often extremely scared to have any overlap with "MENAs" . even with northern west asians . they think that it will lower their "europeanness status" in front of other europeans especially northern euros . it is always the same shit . you can not have a normal fun passing / classify threads anymore without euro wogs acting as if anybody from iceland to greek islands or portugal to finland look "european" but when you cross the bosporus people start to look like aliens . yeah right . and when you as a west asian say something against it you are deemed as a "wannabe euro" or "owd" lel .

even worse that those euro wogs dont even know how your people look and darkwash and exotify your ethnicity and claim that the typical people of your ethnicity are actually atypical . annoying to say the least

that i dont pass in cyprus is a joke .....

me and some cypriots who are somewhat similar typewise :

yeah i look totally out of place man . not ....

well i respect your opinion either way :) but lets be realistic please

a few people already in other forums guessed that i am egyptian but those people (and i think also you) dont seem to know what egyptians look like . of course egypt is a big country with diversity . however many egyptians look like these egyptians :


compare with me :

this is me :

i obviously look different

to say it in anthrotard language that many people in these forums work with : i am too "white" to be an egyptian . at least to be a typical one . i am lighter skinned and my features are different . many egyptians show sub saharan african influence in their faces and those who dont look more "southern" than me . etc

and that does not make me a better person or anything . but lets be real here . egypt is not a good fit for me obviously . but still interesting because egypt is an interesting country :)

Oh, you are right. I changed my mind and now I think that you are not look like typical egyptian
Maybe you are armenian? I don't know, but I think, that you look like turkiah man, or, maybe, armenian

maybe you had lebanon , palestine , syria etc. in mind when you thought egypt

You can pass in the East Med + Balkans, I assume in some Caucasian mixed places, like parts of Ukraine, etc.

You have white to pink complexion, that can obviously produce melanine/tan, and almond eyes, slightly down turned, which is a Med trait.

Your only exotic feature that would denote Transcaucasian origin would your nose, but I've seen dinarid noses twice as big in the Balkans.

PS. You need to grow your beard long*ish.

thanks for your post bro

nah i dont have pink complexion . i am olive

why is my nose exotic ?

also i would be happy if you could list the ethnicitied instead of giving a vague area :)

I am not sure about the olive complexion, in my mind it looks much darker. I can see the pink outlines/areas around the nose and forehead, unless I am color blind.

Exotic was probably a misnomer for a word, I was mostly referring to Greece, where Dinarid/Armenoid noses are relatively in the minority (not that they don't exist).

I don't believe in borders for classifications but rather in general areas where the dispersion of certain phenotypes is dominant.

For example, one situation (not related to you but relevant to the point above) is that in Greece and the Balkans there's a lot of Indian characteristics coming through minor or relatively minor/major Gypsy admixtures that make them part of the scenery, being far from "local" otherwise.

In places like Athens or other capitals where people are usually the most mixed, you can see this phenomenon clearly (Gypsy ghettos being obviously more prominent in their differentiation).

thanks

1. but are you aware that anatolid is east med + armenoid mix ?

2. also (at least in real life) my med part is higher than my armenoid part . what do you think about it ? do you agree ? if you answered nr.1 with yes then how would you give percentages for my med and armenoid parts ?


sorry i hope i dont annoy you with my questions

Egyptian, Greek, Turkish, or Italian.

thanks for your answer

when people dont know my ethnicity yet they often guess me the ethnic groups you listed . you can also see that on the first page ..for example .member weda14 and Theoden didnt know me before and they have guessed the same ethnic groups

those are also among the ethnic groups people most of the time guess me in real life too . but egypt i gave gotten only once in real life while greek , italian , and especially turkish i get a lot . i am living in germany

i made a thread about kurds if you are interested you can take a look . when you read all the pages in the thread you will have a very good idea how kurds look like
