Quit whitewashing Levantines

[Profileid]

Most Levantines cannot "pass" in Greece or Italy. Lebanese are not "whiter". This is all just a fantasy OBSESSIVELY AGGRESSIVELY PUSHED by a few extremely delusional forum members. Why does no one include Jordanians as Levantines even though they live in the fucking Levant?
Also, actual Levantines do not refer to themselves as that. The word for "Levant" in Arabic sounds like something out of a history book.

PERCEPTIONS=/= REALITY


Actual Lebanese

Well Lebanese still look like their Phoenician ancestors. But only the Christian ones. As we all know,Christian=white.

Lol, especially when they claim that I am the living proof of that since I am light skinned and so on.

I agree. Also stop whitewashing Jews as some sort of Italian group with a small amount of Levant admix as opposed to a Levantine group with some Roman and Turkic admixture.

and this is true

in fact, Christian Levantines are indigenous( with origins similar to Southern Europeans), Muslim Levantines came from Arabia

for the thread:

LEVANTINES ARE BROWN

Autosomally Ashkenazi Jews are the same as Sicilians. So I guess Sicilians are "Levantine with some Roman admixture" too.

this one actually true

Levant populations today fall into two main groups: one sharing more genetic characteristics with modern-day Europeans and Central Asians, and the other with closer genetic affinities to other Middle Easterners and Africans. Finally, we identify a putative Levantine ancestral component that diverged from other Middle Easterners ∼23,700–15,500 years ago during the last glacial period, and diverged from Europeans ∼15,900–9,100 years ago between the last glacial warming and the start of the Neolithic
We reconstructed the genetic structure of the Levantines and found that a pre-Islamic expansion Levant was more genetically similar to Europeans than to Middle Easterners.
