I wouldn't go that far. Moreover, Georgia IMHO is one of the few countries that subverts the European/Middle Eastern divide, since they look like a roughly equal mix of both.

Individualmente podrían pasar por españoles muchos, pero todo un grupo con ese mismo aspecto resultaría extraño.

[Sebastianus Rex]

They are not lighter than the portuguese squad, I watched the match between the two teams and both the portuguese team and supporters were visibly lighter. Besides this set of Georgia has only 2 or 3 players with light eyes and zero blonds, the Portuguese team has 6 players with light eyes and 3 blond.

But of course, we all already know that for you ( an Afghani who with a fake profile who claim to be a spanish immigrant in England) Iberians are always darker. xD

[Odelia]

They look Greekish, but more passable in Lebanon and Turkey. Some of these are so sexy.

[Victor]

They look pale in comparison with average MENA, some of them have MENA traits.

Not that it matters in the slightest, but you have to be completely dishonest to say that this team is lighter than the Portuguese. You only have to contrast Portugal's lighter players with those of Georgia:

Well I never endorsed Oliver's claim. And do you think the Georgians look more European or Middle Eastern as a whole?

About 2/3 look more MENA than Euro. 9-10 out of 30.

[Brás Garcia de Mascarenhas]

They're between Europe and something else, I don't know if necessarily the Middle East. They have specific characteristics of the Caucasus. It's not that I look at them as a whole and think they're Iraqis or anything like that. As gixajo said, I think some of them could pass through Spain or Portugal individually without too much trouble, but as a group they're reminiscent of other groups from the south-east.

[Avicenna]

Around 80% of them could pass in places like Romania and Bulgaria as darker types. Have you looked at the Romanian squad for comparison? I can see considerable amounts of overlap .

Aside from some users like Odelia and (in the past) Sikeliot, it is usually the opposite - anthroforum types usually like to rigidly separate Europeans and MENAs as much as possible.

That's true, there are undoubtebly some MENA groups like some North African tribes people, Kavkaz people, some lebanese,mountain tribes in the Pamirs and parts of Afghanistan where traits like skin lightness and eye blondism are comparable with Mediterranean groups in Europe.

I don't care if a selective minority of so called "West Georgians" (which I have no knowledge of) is hypothetically lighter or not, or if for you there are first and second class Georgians. I said what I said when comparing the two teams and the Portuguese has lighter individuals.

Your insecurity is evident, as half of your posts are always based on the same rhetoric of "Georgians from this region are whiter than those from region X and Y" and "this team or group of individuals" does not represent "real" Georgians. If this is the case, we can only conclude that Georgians from "whiter regions" are crap when it comes to sports, since they are rarely included in their national teams.


.and this guysdont look like russians lol they look like lighter meds

I never said they looked Russian, I said they'd probably pass more convincingly or at least blend in better in Russia than most of the Georgians in the OP. Among Slavic Russians, that is, Russia is huge, of course if we're talking about Chechnya for example and if we consider them ethnic Russians then these Georgians pass better in that region and the whole of the Russian Caucasus. And I used the analogy of Russia because of its proximity to Georgia, not least because Russia is anything but the epitome of "Nordic" or "Light", even though it clearly has a large percentage of them.

Well, bro, Georgians should not be like Russians, this is obvious to anyone. Real Russians are very northern in appearance. I don’t know about the pigmentation of the Portuguese, I haven’t been to Portugal, so I can’t speak about it objectively. But there is one thing wrong with your mail. You give as an example photographs of people from Tbilisi (city), a city that is located in the most mixed zone of Georgia - the southeast, the territory where 90% of foreigners live (300 thousand Azerbaijanis, 200 thousand Armenians, as well as North Caucasians, Kurds, Jews, Arabs and others). Therefore, it is strange to cite people from there as representative examples. Since Georgians from there are considered the most mixed, there are many assimilated Armenians and others there, since the region is very multinational. So the typical appearance of Georgians is west or northeast - monoethnic regions.

The difference is primarily not in pigmentation (although there is that too), but in facial features.

They're mixed as you'd expect by looking at the location of Georgia on a map.

I've always considered Georgia as part of Europe and culturally more so than less peripherical regions who converted to islam and are mixed with turkic peoples. Georgians were brave and resilient to survive as a nation in a very complicated area where most have been connquered and converted and that deserves a great deal of respect.

No, maybe isolated cases, but not on a large scale.

Iol west georgians are much lighter than Portugal people and look like much more southern Russian than Portugal people this rugby team are darkestteam geoargains are much lighter than. Rugby team

Yes, some teams happen to be darker, and others lighter. We all know that.


See georgai vs portugal football teams

Portugal has more darker non-native players. Besides that, I don't think there is a noticeable difference in average pigmentation.

If in some years the Georgian team may be bit lighter than the Portuguese one, so happens vice versa.
Some teams happen to be darker, and others lighter. Didn't it occur to you that this also happens in other countries as well?

Not that it matters in the slightest, but you have to be completely dishonest to say that this team is lighter than the Portuguese. You only have to contrast Portugal's lighter players with those of Georgia:

Some of these guys who were born thousands of kilometers away probably pass better for Russians than the Georgians who border Russia.

Not Cossack descendants, that's for sure.

Anyways all of them pass in Europe, as a group here they're honestly not very MENA looking to me at all..
