As a whole, do Jews look more European or more Middle Eastern?

[Cristiano viejo]

The average ashkenazi jewish is less likely to pass in the middle east than the average portuguese or greek.

I disagree.

But it is more common for an ashkenazi jewish to have a fully middle eastern look than a southern european.

great contradiction.

For that to make sense to me you need to show me how the average portuguese or greek look like and what countries are part of the middle east. I doubt you know about any of those things, but i really would like to see another display of brazilian knowledge

I am talking about extremes, the ashkenazi jews have more people that look very levantine/semitic, meanwhile southern europeans have more people that can pass in the middle east to some extent. Have you ever seen ashkenazi jews? Most of them look very Eastern European-like or Central European-like.

Lol of course i know it, the average euro-shifted Brazilian have a very portuguese look, therefore i know what i saying, plus i have known many ashkenazi jews, also Brazil have much more ashkenazi jews than in Portugal lol, São Paulo have a very big population of Ashkenazi Jews(and most of them would pass in central and eastern european countries with no problem).

Then you should say: the average euro-brazilian is more likely to pass in the middle east than the average ashkenazi-jewish-brazilian. Then i would have nothing to add.

E tá errado porra?? If you don't count some small northern european/german colonies in brazil, this is completely right indeed. Ashkenazi Jews can have very northern shifted phenotypes, and you can't deny that.

I don't know, i'm not that familiar with different brazilian groups to say who is more likely to pass as saudi.

False. These are pure Ashkenazi Jews

I have been to Israel and most looked very Middle Eastern, I blended in very well. But there is a significant number that do look European, but overall, most look no different from other Middle Eastern countries.
