Do you consider Nikki Haley to be ''white''?

[NewYorker]

Her hair colour is the most "ethnic" thing about her. Hair that dark tends to be an Asian feature moreso than a European one.

Up until I discovered her ancestry I assumed her to be a white american, so she definitely passes as one in my eyes. Her children look more Asian than she does:

I agree. I would have thought she was of Southern Euro descent.

[SexyLionMan]

NO! She’s pure Punjabi Jat Sikh and one of the most atypical Indians you will meet. Plus, not from the highest caste and I bet has loads of Steppe DNA. LOL X

[Latinus]

She actually looks kind of Iberian.

I agree.

Gypsies are far too ambiguous for anyone to look like a "Gypsy" as they come incredibly admixed and vary from Australoid to Caucasoid for me that term depends on the persons personal experience with gypsies

Gypsies are not australoid or do you say that all the brown/dark ones are australoid then maybe?


And they are not that ambigous they do have a typical or stereotypical look and similar admixture levels at least the pure gypsies who are not recently mixed with europeans and except the british gypsies

I think she can pass as white but at the same time is not atypical for punjabi sikh women really. She does look punjabi but that doesnt mean she cant pass as white. Punjabi Jatts are most western shifted indians.

If by "white" we mean European background, then I don't consider her white.

The first time I had seen her I thought she was of Hispanic background, then I considered her "white Hispanic".

I assumed she was "white" because of her given name and surname.

As it turns out, Nikki isn't her original given name and she uses her husband's surname .

She could pass as a "dark white" of southern Euro/Mena background.

I don't consider her white. She doesn't see herself as white either most likely. Look at her kids. They look rather ethnik despite having a white father.

"muh Australoid muh Iberian"
lol, some real low visuospatial skills ITT (there's nothing Australoid about any Indian population)

at first glance: vaguely Central Asian, Pakistani
after a dedicated look: obviously Jatt or some other high steppe Indo-Pak population (Rors, Pashtuns, maybe also Tajik). Not the high Iran_N populations like Balochi.

she looks too eastern to be Southern Euro or even Middle Eastern/Iranian. Very robust cheekbones, horizontal eyes, and dark swarthy features (even for Iran). She lacks the dominant MENA look that Iranians, Southern Euros, and even Anglos have. If you know you know, if I have to explain you were probably never meant to understand it anyway

one of the musicians looked really white and he was a Punjabi Sikh like Haley, this Sikh is the most European looking pure Indian I have ever seen in my entire life

Do the people here know anything about ancestry? He'd be one of the least pure-looking Indians

I know an Indian who looks whiter than she does. Some people in the far north of India do look more or less white, and many Afghans and Pakistanis too, as their genetic affinities lie with the Caucasus and the Australoid influence (what makes them "brown") is low.

Other way round. First off, there's no "Australoid" influence anywhere outside of Australia (insane that I have to say this)

Second off, the reason Nikki looks like this is BECAUSE of her higher native Indian and lower Iranian admix. She looks like this because she's LESS Caucasoid, not more.

Jatts and similar pops like Rors/Pashtuns/Punjabis score 30% Paniya.
Typical Pakistanis score 15%.

Jatts score 30% Iran_N
Pakistanis (Balochi, Brahui) score 60%

Jatts and Pakistanis have the same amount of EHG associated ancestry (counting both through steppe and otherwise)

The reason she looks like this is because of higher South Indian DNA displacing the Basal Eurasian Caucasoid Iran_N DNA. Otherwise she'd just look like every other Irano-greek type person. Skin color-wise she looks way darker than the average Med or even Iranian anyway

That's because her husband looks like he has Amerindian in him
