You forget Sindhi's and Kashmiris, apart from some the other Northwest South Asians.
Have you ever compared Kashmiris, Punjabi Jatts, and Sindhi's to them? I posted some phenotypical comparisons a few threads back. Especially Kashmiris look extremely similar. People try to present it now and then as if Pashtuns are some distinct race while all their close genetic and geographic cousins are all Indo-Melanids/Nord Indids/Weddids. And only someone with an agenda would deny that Kashmiris, Jatts, Pashtuns and Sindhi's look and are genetically any significantly different from each other. The papers, the plots, the PCA's, I posted and the crowd pics of the various groups all confirm this.Skin color doesn't equalize race. I see a bunch of tanned/darker skinned Iranids. They absolutely do not look like your mainstream North Indid South Asians. They do have some South Asian like vibe/features. But it's most of the time just some influence instead of a dominant component.
MLD-22 of the Punjabi Jatts I posted also show that usually Pashtuns are the first or the second closest ethnicity to them.
It's just the fact that they speak an Eastern Iranic language, look a tiny bit different on average, and have a different culture from other Northwest South Asians (though with Kashmiris theres much similiarty) that some people vehemently try to refute the obvious.
The guy has made 2 socks today in order to deny the obvious links the Pashtuns have with other Northwest South Asians. That means he's extremely bothered by this and sees the ethnicity as some kind of superior compared to other northwest south asians and hates every links with them they have. Just because they speak an eastern iranic language and have a different culture. Come on. On top of that he has made extreme ad hominem insults apart from the quote I posted here he sent me. He has also posted, while on those socks, tons of unsourced individual examples of god knows who whom he claims are ''south asian high castes'', and I even revealed this sneakyness with one result whom he claimed to be ''Azeri'', though actually was a Kuwaiti of mixed South Iranian/Turkic/Bedouin origins.
He's extremely bothered that Pashtuns are apart from being close to Tajiks, Pamiris etc, are also very close genetically to Northwest South Asians such as Kashmiris, Sindhi's, Burusho, Punjabi Jatts, etc. That's all.
