he has already checked his family tree since he told me he had suspicion in regards to his paternal family and kurdish roots so if he had arab or "gypsy" he would have told me

he clearly has none, I also don't see why south-east turks would be less turks than others I can also say north-eastern turks have caucasian admixture or western turks have greek admixture

man i want to hit my head on the wall ....what a joke

i didnt say that southeastern turks are less turk . they are as turk as anybody else . i am saying that your friend might very well be mixed with arab or gypsy

"family tree checking" is not enough for this . he would need to do a genetic test

and regardless if he would score like a turk he would still be atypical

and no i am not "exeggerating" things . i am telling you how it is

I totally disagree or else all the turks I've known are all atypical...I'm not saying vengeance knows less than me but he often exaggerate and I doubt you know better turks than me
I literally live in a town with lots of them. I seen 100's of turkish faces. Most of them dont look like your friend

He looks sort of different in the other pic you posted.

I gotta agree with vengeance on this one too. There's something "eastern" about him. But i wouldnt probably thought of that, if i saw the other pics you posted a long time ago.


Different angles + lighting can make quiet the difference. I noticed that

Darkwashed - Italians, Turks, Spaniards

Lightwashed - Indians (Bolywood movies are mostly lightskinned Indians when slightly more than half of them are really Tamil)

by the way as you know lately the troll with the nickname "freeukraine" has said that i am owd and that i am "cherrypicking kurds and turks" even though i have posted thousands of kurds ...like wtf ....

what i noticed a long time ago is that if someone darkwashes or misportrays your ethnicity ....and then you "defend" yourself against it by showing REALITY and post many many pics and videos of your people to prove that the misportrayers are wrong ...even with genetic results on top of it . then you will get called "owd" . ever noticed that ?

imagine you call a fit / sporty / slim person fat .

and then the person says "wtf i am not fat . my bodyfat percentage is 15 % and i have a good fitness and can run big distances without taking a break and also in a good time . and i can also do a lot of push ups and can do long planks etc. . if you want i can show you how fit i am "

and then you reply : looool you are insecure !


--

it seems that if someone said that kurds look like namibians and i would disagree with it kindly (lol) then that is wrong and sooooo "owd" ....this idiotic term is mostly used by actually owd people often by the way ....only clever people will see that ;)

@vengeance Isn't the healthiest and the most ideal body fat percentage 12%? Anything under 8 is too unhealthy and anything above 20 is starting to get problematic

as far as i know up to 25 % is "okay" ...especially when you are older . over 25% is too much especially over 30% which i am currently :(

12% is also ideal but i think it is a bit healthier to be 15% actually and i think it is harder to maintain 12% regarding hunger levels and calories

Yes they are imo, on the internet they are always mentioned when some southern european looks very swarthy. "That is the levantine influence, pass typically in lebanon..."
Northern levantines and Lebanese in general are some of the most whitewashed people ever. The fact that "swarthy" southern Europeans are automatically called Lebanese already proves it

Some even claim that there are some Lebanese who look Western and Northern Euro so how could you say that they are one of the most darkwashed ethnicities

But imo they aren't that much lightwashed, do you know groups that are somewhat lightwashed? Afghans and Central Asians in general, they are portrayed are extremely pale people with even germanic traits, because of that Yamnaya/Steppe thing.
