Is a MENA and European couple interracial?

I don't think that Albanians share anything with any Arabs, including Levantines, but I do think that Albanians have overlap with Turks, Kurds, Pashtuns, Tajiks, etc. in some areas. I have already pointed out how the dress in your country is very similar to the traditional, pre-islamic dress in Eastern Iranic countries. In addition, you guys also celebrate Norwuz to some extent, eat some similar food, and share islam ( which is a more culturally ingrained religion than Christianity is). I don't feel any ethnic connections to any Europeans, except for a slight, distant one to only Albanians for some odd reason, I can't explain it. I don't even feel anything towards Bosnians, but I feel like there are similarities between us and Albanians, even if they aren't acknowledged.

Yeah I felt close to afghans I met irl too

I disagree - you look clearly Indian and would barely pass in Iran let along Italy or Spain.

I never said I pass in those places, just that not many people would have 2nd thought and think ''oh wow interesting, look at that interracial couple over there''

Yeah I know. lol. people here are experts, but normal folks are not phenotype experts. I have had people mistake me from anywhere between Mexican, Colombian, Brazilian, Greek Portugal, Spain to Syria, etc. It's pretty cool to be able to walk unnoticeable in so many countries though anywhere from Latin America to South Europe to Syria.

Indians do have a distinct look, true, but some portion of us can definitely overlap with Iranians, Afghans, Levantines, Turks, etc. in a broader scope.

I think there are more people from the countries you listed that pass in India than vice versa. You can almost always recognize when someone is south asian, but sometimes MENAs can be confused for South Asians. That being said, a chunk of North Indians look MENA and even European.

Not if it's something like Lebanese mixed with Sicilian or Greek. Those two are probably phenotypically closer to each other than they are with Northern Europeans.

Just think about how foreign and alien Afghanistan is to any European and vice versa and you will get your answer..

The Soviets would beg to differ. Pretty sure they sided with Americans (Western world) against us.

In your opinion perhaps. I live in an area full of Persians, they aren't that attractive to me. and the males are detestable in the way they act.

Indian women >>>> all others. Persians, White women, Blacks don't come close and but I wouldn't mind hitting and quitting.

Lol South Asian women have crooked teeth and smell like curry. Then again each kind loves his own the most. You need to leave the Bollywood fantasy and realize what 95% of Indian women really look like.

I just meant relatively to the other comparison . didnt want to say that balkans and west asia has a big overlap

Depends which MENA you are talking about, I'd say Balkans have a lot in common with Turks (bar Islam). Then again it's mostly the Muslim Europeans that suck up to Turks, other Balkanites want to maintain a distinct identity.
