How common is the "European-like" look in Afghanistan, Northern Pakistan, Tajikistan?

[Maguzanci]

How common is this "European-like" look among Pashtuns, Tajiks, Nuristanis, Hunza, Kalash and Dardic groups of Afghanistan, Northern Pakistan? What about Pamiris, Yaghnobis, how common is this look?
Is it very atypical and a minority for these groups to look like these?

European look among these peoples is close to non-existant. Even these cherrypicked individuals don't look European, despite their light pigmentation.

Many Tadzhiks can look like people from the Caucasus though.

thank you but does it pop from time to time?

not very common, but not as rare as people think either. A lot of groups like Pashtuns, Nurestanis, Kashmiris, Tajiks etc can have light eyes and pigmentation, maybe about 5% of these ethnic groups are like these types with the percentage being higher in groups like Nurestanis to at least 40%.

Maybe 2-3% of Tadzhiks can pass as atypical on the Balkans. That's all.

Light pigmentation =/= looking European.

so it is not rare as most people believe. WOW Nuristanis can be up to 40% ?! So this look can pop up form time to time? Another question is when they have light eyes and pigmentation do they often look more South Asian or sometimes they can really resembles Europeans in look as well?

well it is vague, personally I would say the second guy if I saw him on the street, I would think he's some kind of atypical European, but for the others, they look very local. Nurestanis have lived and continue to live in the mountains and have been isolated for centuries, most Nurestanis resemble neighbouring Pashtuns, but yes a significant percentage of them although possessing local features can look very depigmented.
