Guessed: Iranians

[lepa]

Greece?

[x-class]

Turkey?

[Dr. van Winkle]

The one in the middle is similar to this guy, who is Greek:

Cypriots or Turks

[chipriota]

Greeks? These guys would stand out as a fly in the milk in Greece. Especially the left and the right. The middle one might pass, the other two wouldn't pass even in Cyprus.

They are not Turks either.

True. Only the middle might pass, but even him, hardly.

Iran/Iraq? Kurds? Bangladesh? India? Roma? Arabic something?

[Dr. van Winkle]

Iranians?

[askra]

Kurds

[chipriota]

They are Iranians.

[man of kent]

Turkmenistan.

[chipriota]

^I said they are Iranians.

[man of kent]

Absolutely agree, the middle one might pass but two others don't look Greek at all...People here usually guess based on the ethnicity of OP (original poster) ;)

[Dr. van Winkle]

I have seen Sicilians with comparatively dark skin and facial features like the guy on the right, probably due to Semitic admixture.

[chipriota]

man of kent, you were closer than Greek anyway! :)

[chipriota]

I have seen Sicilians with comparatively dark skin and facial features like the guy on the right, probably due to Semitic admixture.

Personally, I don't see the guys on the left and right passing even in Lebanon.

Don't you agree features and skin colour is not enough, there is a strong vibe which these two guys scream about they are not even close to Greece... Overall look...

that's so true!

[Hess]

I would have said Lebanese, Turkish, Greece, Cypriot. Maybe Maltese as well.

[Vandalpineptitudecay]

They look like Bollywood stars.

Are you sure they're not Indians who migrated to Iran due to overpopulation?

That's like saying the Pakistanians are British, because they're in England now.

[chipriota]

LOL at people still saying that they look Greek, Cypriot and Maltese! You guys surely have a distorted image in your mind... Even in Turkey and Lebanon they wouldn't pass I think...

And Bollywood actors are not typical Indian looking, most of them are of Pashtun, Kashmir and Iranian descent. These guys might pass in India, but come on, they have Iranian names. Why should they be Indians?

[Kanuni]

Certainly true they would stick out in Turkey,they look quite eastern Indian/Pakistani/Iranian.

Many people have, unfortunately. Everyone that is non-Scandinavian looking is Greek/Cypriot/Sicilian, and even if he looks like an Indian, then again, Greek/Cypriot/Sicilian :lol:

Look all the polls about non-Europeans, and with whom they overlap :lol:

[chipriota]

Some people do overlap with Greek/Cypriot/Sicilian because of the variety of looks, but according to some people in these forums, Sicily, Cyprus and Greece is like USA, where you can find blacks, whites and asians in one! :lol:

[Padre Organtino]

These people look nothing like Greeks or East Meds in general

You probably haven't come across many pics of Arabs and Jews.

Allow me to show you some real Arabs:

Georges Corraface, Greek actor. He is nearly as East-Med as it can get, perhaps with a slight Alpine strain.

So? By showing pictures of a Greek man dressed like an Arab, what do you wanna show? That Greeks are Arabs? LOL

I didn't classify him as Arabid, but as East-Mediterranid. Not quite the same.

Furthermore, some Greek-American guy I knew was rather fascinated with Arabs. He even compared me to an Arab because of my hooked nose and slender body, even though I don't look like one. :rolleyes:

[Sikeliot]

Only the one in the middle could pass as Greek.

[chipriota]

^I think we all agree on that!
