So I just joined this sub and there are a few topics I want to get of my chest that even experienced users don't understand.
1) be nice to each other man. No racism, no hate, just be kind and disrespectful.
2) learn the difference between ethnicity and nationality. For example, don't use John Abraham or Freddie Mercury to showcase the average phenotype of Mumbai. The US/Canada aren't the only places with diversity.
3) How have we come to being so white obssessed? Every second post is "who looks whiter, this or that nationality"? People get extremely offended if you guess them as more Southern or Eastern than they really are, yet they don't mind if you guess them as more Western/northern.
Cherrypicking crowds that look white and then someone cherrypicks darker crowds and we go back and forth with the BS pseudo science. The difference in color can easily be attributed lighting or difference in ethnicity. DON'T always trust google.
Actually leave your home and basement and travel the world or come to Toronto to see many different phenotypes or see travel vlogs. The only way you can properly understand different phenotypes is exposure to them.go out, talk to people.
4) passing is different from looking entirely like an ethnicity. Neil Nitin Mukesh passes in North India quite easily, but it's NOT his entire best fit. best fit is where majority of folk look like you.
5)Genotype doesn't always equal to phenotype. Phenotype/bones can CHANGE depending on if you mouth breathe etc.
5) people are too strict on borders. Ethnic groups can cross into other lands. For example, I've seen a lot of people claim western Pakistan is Iranian and KPK province is Pashtun. Yet it's not Kabul or Peshawar that has the most Pashtuns on the planet, it's actually Karachi in the east...... People try to tell me (someone who's grown up in Karachi) that East Pakistanis are Indic looking yet West Pakistanis Iranic looking? That can't make sense based on my experience and the ethnic groups present in east Pakistan in karachi. This is just an example.
6) people like a certain Jatt Pakistani on the sub (not taking names) confuse the fuck out of me. He makes an entire whole ass comment bashing Iran (it's in my thread) only to make a post saying Pakistanis are Iranian looking (with cherrypicked images obviously) with Caucasian blood. It's almost as cringe as some of you who post here and are obssessed with whiteness yet probably complain about racism irl...
That's it. Lemme know if you agree
