which places / ethnicities are the most darkwashed / lightwashed / misportrayed

Idk what south levantines and north levantines are, but i can tell you this about levantines in general(palestinians, lebanese and jordanians + maybe also syrians):

They look like a cross between coastal berbers and kurds, with some really euro-american looking people(like english/scandi mix, but that looks distinctly euro-american at the same time) and a small numbers of dark, saudi looking folks

I wouldn't say that they have a small number of saudi/dark looking individuals. Especially amongst palestinians and jordanians

 

[Kurdquistador]

small number of dark saudi looking folks . that seems to be an understatement to be honest especially if you include palestinians and jordanians

Im basing this on samples i seen. Most of jordanians and palestinians simply arent dark at all, but pretty much like other west asians, even if they get like 6-9% SSA.

Im basing this on people i seen. I assume palis and jordanians in their countries looks maybe different to the ones in the west

Not only are they darker than other west asians to the north but they also show different facial features

I wouldnt say theyre darker, apart from some few. Theyre just the same shade as other west asians. Some look distinct, but really many looks like kurds, while many others looks like coastal berbers

@vengeance as a kurd yourself what do you think about this statement?

I disagree with it

years ago on AS i made a thread about jordanians because i have not seen much about them and tried to portray them as good as i can as an outsider and i remember many of them being dark as fuck and also exotic facially

and it didnt take me long to find these young jordanian women

if you dont think they are darker and exotic looking compared to northern west asians then i will go and take a shit

sure this doesnt mean much . it is only 1 pic . but i bet we could find many exotic jordanians who look very different from NWA

Two of the girls look like coastal berbers, the others look like saudis.

I did admit there are few dark saudi looking individuals, but most i seen looks like coastal berbers, and many look like kurds/iranians

 

[Ben Dover]

@ImHere why would you expect desert dwelling jordanians to be the similar colored as northern west asians such as kurds for example? And again these people aren't the only saudi/dark looking jordanians out there. There are gonna be many more

"kurds / iranians" many iranians look different from kurds etc. etc. bla bla you know the story

but anyway . i know many are not "exotic" . but many are .... even a good number of lebanese and syrians are exotic as fuck and many of the syrian refugees stick out in turkey . jordanians and palestinians are even darker and more exotic

Im sort of talking about arabs living in the west though. I guess its different in their own countries

Well, thats sort of what i said, many look kurdish/turkish, but most look like coastal berbers.

Im talking about arabs in the west, so i guess its different with arabs who lived in very hot climates(i havent been paying attention to those)

 

[Kurdquistador]

it took me 20 seconds to find this jordanian man in the west . passes better as saudi etc. than anything north of syria

For how long do you think these arabs have lived in the west for them to have evolved lighter skin gene mutation? Not long enough probably🙂

Well, im just talking about arabs i seen. I didnt deny there arent some who are dark, but most i seen are same shade as turks and kurds.
But again, im talking about people in the west, not in hot arab lands

 

[Kurdquistador]

nobody is talking about looks lol

and i am not saying that they are all exotic . i am also not trying to ridicule Imhere bro or anything
