i am not saying that he is necessarily gypsy . he doesnt look gypsy to me . but he might be mixed i cant know . i would guess him north african before turkish if i saw him on the street no joke

you want me to show you how turks look ?
no one would ever mistake him for a north african here and are you sure you paid attention to what I posted maybe you took one of my moroccan friend for a turk

and yes show me pls (a few examples not a whole collage lol)

To be honest, coastal berbers as whole really arent much darker than turks(though turks have a lot more pale types, and some berbers can be REALLY dark).

Berbers more south like Marrakech, are indeed darker though

i dont understand what you mean

the gypsies in turkey dont want to be the "other" for example . they may have many reasons why they do it but they DO it i know for a fact . i can prove it to you even
Dude just chill. I already got the answer I was looking for...

Yeh, he doesnt exactly look like most turks. The turks he looks like, are likely rather from Hatay(south Turkey, where arabs lives). Not that there arent turks looking like this, but i dont see any of them look like that.

He looks more palestinian or something, with those eyes

You probably mean alawites instead of actual arabs? Not saying that arabs don't live there in hatay

Whatever, he doesnt look like the common ethnic turk, but rather someone from Syria or Palestine

But some ethnic turks can even sort of look like a dark afghan without any foreign ancestry(extreme outliers), so the guy might just be a regular turk?(doubt though)
