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

I feel like two or three people are behind that account and they roll a dice on who comments what each day about bashing south Asians . The guy is a walking contradiction and he barely addresses me . Troll detected .

whoever it is, they're so complexed lol. Whole account is purely based on bashing indians and their looks and sucking up to MENA groups. Not sure what he/they are gaining from this lol.

Apparently the only desi influence in Pakistan is the language lol

Hard to say overall, but my personal observation is that there’s more middle eastern looking South Asians, because South Asians are, number 1, very mixed, & number 2, very distinct looking.

Can South Asians ever be coal black skinned?

Middle Eastern-looking South Asians, especially if we are talking about Afghans and Pakistanis.

both belong to different genetic(basic component wise) and civilization systems lighter South Asians move towards South Central Asia hence tend to have more indo european(for the lack of better word) features as opposed to Semitic derivatives/ME.

Which I find interesting, considering it's Arabs that are desert-adapted Mediterraneans with South Asians being the ones with a completely separate phenotype. There is no way an Indian can be more European-looking than an Arab by any measure.

"South Asian" is an EXTREMELY broad term, there are 1.5 billion+ people in South Asia. At the bottom tip of Sri Lanka there are sub-Saharan levels of blackness yes.

MENA are noticeably fairer-skinned than South Asians and are more pure Caucasoids. There is a lot of Australoid admixture in South Asia especially the more south of Punjab you go. Levantines and Maghrebis phenotypically and even genetically are closer to Southern Europeans than they are to South Asians. Gulf specimens are the only ones that can give off a pseudo-Paki/North Indian vibe but IMO they are distinct.

In my observation also, MENA tend to have smaller eyes than South Asians, and also tend to have more mature/robust faces. On average they smell better too (although I've met MENA that reeked).

There is a big reason why there is not more overlap between South Asians and MENA, it's because the lighter upper caste Indians usually have very soft androgynous features especially Brahmins. In other words, they look like pussies as opposed to the rugged appearance prevalent among MENA. They look like they have a dose of European ancestry instead.

In my experience it is South Asian-looking Middle Easterners.
