She isnt really armenian looking enough to be ethiopian though

LOL!

And yes she can pass in Ethiopia and Somalia imo.

[Sikeliot]

I think I've found the difference. Aethiopid often carries with it a tendency toward hooked Semitic noses. This girl and other Indians don't have that.

[Methusalem]

Something about her looks non-ethiopian.

[Sikeliot]

I watch a show with her in it and while I'd know she isn't Ethiopian, many of the Ethiopian women you post remind me of her when I see them.

[gregorius]

LOL!


Arm0z and Ethi0pianz share an ancient link as my Br0ther ZnZn

Hm... Maybe, but I think Indians can have hooked noses as well. In any case, Indians and East Africans overlap a lot phenotypically imo.

If you presented pictures of Indians, Somalis and Ethiopians to a random audience, they would not really be able to separate many of them.

[Sikeliot]

And it's funny because people who have never seen one, expect Ethiopians to look like this. It must be because on tv we always see their poorest which tend to be ethnic minorities from the south

I think she could pass but is not the best example. These ones are better:

^^ Indians? I honestly can't quite tell.

Try a guess.:tongue

[Sikeliot]

I'll say they are Dravidian.

All of those people look extremely Somali or Ethiopian. If I had to guess, I'd guess #3 and #5 as being Somali.

[Methusalem]

I'll say they are Dravidian.

They are Indians(I think one or two are from Sri Lanka) but could pass in the Horn.

[Sikeliot]

IMO Somalis look more Indian while Ethiopians look more like slightly Africanized Arabs.

[Amun]

She still looks Indian IMO.

[Tooting Carmen]

In some photos yes, in others not really.

[Dynamo]

LOL at Somalis looking Indian, I've seen a lot of Somalis and they look nothing compared to Indians. The only similarity is their dark skin, that's it. Different features loool

[YeshAtid]

Perhaps. She's gorgeous regardless.

[Hadouken]

i think she would pass

btw.

interesting photo

the machine gun is ready ...so is the breast
