    It`s funny that a Balkanite saying this while it`s quite known that you are the most mixed people on earth with several theories of obscure origins.

    And who in the world is not mixed except Amazon tribes? Even Australian Aborigines are mixed today.
    I'm not mixed, because I'm West Baltid + Nordid + Borreby and most of my family are East Alpinoid/Baltoid and Norid. Save your antifa theories for yourself you Central Asian Mongoloid. My real-life last name is Germanic so I assume that I'm Slavo-Teutonic, not some Turanid-Armenoid Circassian pseudo-Bin Laden/Barrack Obama looking sandnigger.

    So? To me "Middle Eastern" is as vague as "White". To a Brit, of course Syria is in "Middle East" and China is in "Far East". So, to a Turk, "Middle East" must be around Tibet. About Far East, I think around Hawaii islands

    As far as I know, the term of Middle East was used first by "Alfred Thayer Mahan", a British strategist in 1902. Moreover this term only applied Arabian Gulf region at first. Later it's usage expanded to Levant, North Africa and Anatolia. If you check, in years of WW1, India was considered as a part of Middle East. To me, this term is not really reliable since it is vague and it got changed a lot. We can use, "West Asia" for that...

    But still the question will stay, "if Turks are West Asian, are they white?"

    Well, to me this question is still hard to answer. Anatolia had connection with tribes from Balkans and Europe(Thracians, Galathians, Phrigians etc.) so at real, this region has to do with Europe more than Armenia or Iran does. Not to forget recent connection with Balkans. However, Turks have significiant Central Asian mixture, that makes us less Caucasoid. But since "Central Asian mixture" is mentioned in one of choices in this poll, I voted, "no".

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..

    Yes there are people in Turkey that would be considered white, but that is the case in many other parts of the middle east, though probably higher in Western Turkey.

    Skin colour is simply not enough for me to consider a Turk to be "white" firstly because of the Turkish culture and religion which is out of place in most "white" countries.

    This phenomenon that has occurred with some Turks or Kurds or Iranians in general that makes them think they are "White" or even want to be "White" is Trumbull annoying. Europe is in no way or form superior to the middle east they are just lucky the mongols turned around and didn't raise Europe upside down like they did to the Middle east. It is a known fact that the Middle east or West Asia was quite developed before the Mongolia invasion led to the destruction of intellectual centers and intellectuals in placed like Baghdad. This in effect set the Middle east back hundreds of years.

    True the Mongol invasion devastated the Middle East. Baghdad library was destroyed, and the books were put in the rivers, it was said they became black due to the ink. So many things were lost. However the Middle East will return to it's glory soon.

    I think that term White is just cultural and phenotypes don't really play much. For example you have to be part of the Occidental civilization to be White.
