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

[StonyArabia]

A lot of Bedouin types can be mistaken for South Asian, but only to the untrained eye. We are racially different and genetically very different as well.

Not saudi arabia. More like the UAE or the people of the gulf.

I thought Saudis are Gulf Arabs. What's the phenotype difference between them and Emiratis, Bahrainis, Qataris etc? I know Yemenis and Omanis do look a bit different though, due to the higher SSA admixture.

Because Emiratis, Bahrainis and etc do have high south asian and iranian admixture in comparison with Yemenis, Saudis and Iraqis.

Could you show some photos to demonstrate the differences between e.g. Bahrainis and Saudis?

Cant say about posting pictures here, but in real life, i know plenty of Emiratis who do look Iranian or South Asian even.

Whereas Saudis look more distinctly 'Arabian' then?

In the Hejaz and Northern Arabia while those living in Nejd look more South Arabian.

no one give two fuck about who look like whom.. many of these threads are very objectionable and degrading to south Asians. what these threads propagate is northern whites are best followed by southern whites who wanna be northern like. middle eastern wanna be like south euro and in turn south Asians wanna be middle easterns.... a totally fucked and foolish propaganda... I would like to tell the truth for us south Asians.. its exactly opposite.. nonone would like to be like middle easterners in india other than muslims... norther Europeans are the ugliest kind for us.. so next time don't put yourself in pedestal as if you guys are some hot shots and rest are just fools running around....

[jatt]

this may be super duper beuty for your kind.. but she is butt ugly for us... keep that in mind before making comparison threads

[Tooting Carmen]

@Jatt: No need for all the butthurt. The thread is merely recognising that there is some overlap between South Asians and Middle Easterners, and therefore asks in which direction is it more prevalent? This is an anthropological forum after all - debates like this are perfectly legitimate.
