    Some Turkishes have Baltoid phenotypes.
    Even can pass as Slavs.

Hun was not an ethnicity itself, but a large tribal confederative structure.. That is why Turks already had a rich genetic pool before the full conquest of Anatolia region..

    Turks are overwhelmingly Caucasoid, and hence 'white'. It also depends on your definition of white - what does it mean in the first place? The majority of Turks would be considered white in America, I think.

    Jusia, Istanbul is a giant metropolitan city with 15 million population. It`s even bigger than some countries in Europe in terms of geography and economical size.

    Whenever i go there and walk in the streets of it, i keep wondering and saying to myself like "who are these people and masses of crowds, where they have come from?".

    Did you know that the number of people who has been born in Istanbul is less than 3 million out of 15 million total? The people in Istanbul are from all over Turkey with considerable groups of peoples from middle-east, balkans and caucasus.

    I was searching through the US census data at ancestry.com, for an ancestor who was Armenian, but came from Turkey. Anyway, there were numerous people listed on the census reports from 1900, 1920, 1940, as having been born in Turkey. In every single case the census taker (probably an Anglo-Saxon American) listed the person as white on the census report.

    Yes the term white varies in Europe. In Scandinavia, White equals looking north European, for example.
