    Default What is more common: South Asian-looking Middle Easterners or Middle Eastern-looking South Asians?

    A sequel to my other thread asking which is more common out of Middle Eastern-looking Europeans or European-looking Middle Easterners. Before certain users attack me, let me just say that I am fully aware that most Middle Easterners and most South Asians do NOT look at all alike. However, a minority of Iranians and Afghans in particular and even some Iraqis and Gulf Arabs can have (pseudo) North Indid looks; conversely, a minority of Pakistanis and Northern Indians in particular are certainly passable further west, what with there being Iranid and Asiatic Alpine types present. So, let us discuss.

    Which is ironic, given you also think that more Middle Easterners look European than the reverse.

    And paradoxically, I'd also say that some lighter South Asians, such as Indira Gandhi and Salman Rushdie, can look kind of Jewish/Levantine.

    I'm not sure. I mean, there are South Asians who can look middle eastern, esp Arabian, but in my opinion i think that middle easterners can look more south asian than vice versa.

    Do you really think that there are more South Asians who can pass in Saudi Arabia than in Iran?

    Not saudi arabia. More like the UAE or the people of the gulf. I know many persians here and most dont look even remotely similar to their south asian counterparts.
