Are Persians caucasian or european?

[hajduk]

There are whites in Iran, like 10% There are whites in the middle east there always were. That whole region was white at one time

Caucasoid/Europoid yes. Caucasian includes many arab peoples. Although most of us thunk Caucasian = White European. Afghans, Turks, Iraqis and Iranians can be a lot lighter than people imagine.

You've probably never met Farah, the Lebanse girl who thought of herself as being white? She was far smarter and more likeable than many of the chat-poltroons I've seen on TA.

There needs to be a thread of its own for these dark-haired ladies. I've met a few Iranic ladies (online) and never have I been struck with the notion that they're females of an inferior sort like many negresses that I see (in realtime).

Some Iranians look European, some don't, some are very dark.

There are a number of reasons for this. For example, one reason pertains to the darker Iranians in Southern Iran. The reason why is that in bygone times they imported outsiders (who often were darker) to serve as servants / slaves and this was more prevalent in the South.

Are Iranians as a whole "European"? No.

Are they "Caucasoid". Probably, whatever "Caucasoid" may mean because it includes a number of peoples from a fairly diverse region.

Caucasian / Caucasoid is imo not necessarily "white" or "European".

Europid means, to me, from Europe and with ancestors from said continent. I'd find an Iranic lady to be a worthwhile mate, as the result can be someone as seemingly Caucasian as Catherine Bell (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine_Bell, 1/2 Anglo-Scots, 1/2 Iranian, she's a bit dark, so to speak, but not in terms of her skin). How some of us can claim to be totally European in ancestry, and yet the Iranians an admixture of Iranian with Arabs, Chinese, Jews, or Turks (when the Iranians I've met seem to be more obsessed about good ancestry than we are), is beyond me.

Obviously. I mean, Tamils are Caucasoid too, but I doubt anyone would think of them as white.

Everybody is spewing shit about Islam, but when the dick stands up, they change their mind and appreciate even women in hijab, right?
