Hello, mate! You look Georgian. I think you can easily pass in the whole Caucasus region. You'd pass easily in the Balkans too. The dinaricization gave you an eastern look. I don't know if you can pass in the Basque country, but you resemble a lot my maternal granduncle, who was basque.
And yes, of course, you pass all over Syria and Lebanon.
Can you take a look at my thread? https://www.anthroworldforum.com/index.php?threads/classify-me-and-where-can-i-pass-as-a-local.515/

=)

thanks for your post bro

just curious ...when you posted this did you know at that moment what my ethnicity is ?

You look more Alpinized in my opinion, maybe a Litorid (dinaro/armenid med) + Alpine.

thank you :)

here click on this thread to see my ethnicity ;)


my ethnicity has been darkwashed , exotified and misportrayed in forums since many years . people have a distorted image of us in their minds and when they see us they often place us in georgia like you did and many also say balkans even . even though we all look typical for our ethnicity

Your people aren't swarthy.
And yes, of course, your people look very typical. Some of them look undeniably Anatolian, but i think the phenotype overlap sometimes with Georgia and Balkans. You and your people are pure caucasoids, nothing dark about it. =) Beautiful people.

well we ARE "swarthy" compared to europeans . and there is nothing wrong with being dark either lol . i didnt mean that . i just meant that people have an unrealistic image of us in their heads . i have read the most weird stuff about us in forums . people think we overlap with pakistanis and indians and that we are gypsy-oid people . some even seem to think that we came from india originally hahaha xD its bullshit .

Yes, i said "swarthy" in comparison to pakistanis, indians and some middle eastern ethnicities. Indians are swarthy imo, kurds aren't. I've seen a lot of turks mocking kurds in other anthropology forums, that's really sad.

What about me, do you think i can pass as Kurd?

no my friend i dont think so . you look foreign . you look especially more "western" if you know what i mean :)

by the way i have often been guessed as italian in real life and also online (before people knew my ethnicity) .

my sister has been to malta for a few weeks and she said i pass there as atypical . however i dont know how many of the people my sister makes the comparison with there were native maltese . she also has been to sevilla and said i pass there as atypical too
