for what it is worth . i thought i mention it here too . i get placed very often as some swarthy balkan type . especially in the last weeks / months . years ago i also sometimes got that but not often . but now i get it very often . we also seen in the "do i pass among these people" thread that i pass pretty well among Romanians (however to be fair i somewhat cherrypicked them of course)
and i am not light or "more yuropeen" looking for a Kurd as you can see . i have the feeling that actually when it comes to Europe itself then Romania , Macedonia , Greece are the places that northern west asians including Kurds overlap most with
