Do new generation West Asians look more European than their parents?

[renaissance12]

By the way 10% gypsie is still better than 10% or more muslim, arab, african who live in Italy.

Perhaps they are not so stupid to choose another poor country.......

If you groom and dress the European way, you tend to look more European and this is what is going on with a lot of West Asians. In fact: the same, funny enough, once applied to American blacks. They wore suits or dresses (like whites) and had matching hairstyles. I suppose this must have aided the civil rights movement at the time ("these people are just like us !"). Would West Asians dress differently, we would never have had this debate and had blacks dressed and conducted the way they do now, they very likely would have received no support whatsoever. And, yes, people would underestimate the importance of grooming and looks.

If yes, what might be the reason for this?

I can not specifically say about West Asians and Europeans, but it is obvious that the same genotype can produce completely different phenotypes depending on the living conditions and habitat.

As dwarf birch that grows in the north of Europe and ordinary birch that grows in central Europe is absolutely the same plant, although they look completely different!

I think the same with humans. Change drastically the living conditions and habitat of a group of people and you will inevitably change their phenotype!

The most vivid example: children raised by animals and isolated from the human environment cannot walk on two legs, they run on all fours, bark and growl. Both the brain and the skeleton of those children develop differently than the ones of ordinary humans.

No

Weird question tho.

Anthropologically no, why would they? If they behave more European-like than her parents, this might give such image.

Interesting question, because I have noticed that western Asians are getting much taller. The new generation are usually taller than their parents - If tallness is a "European trait". But that's not it. They also look less darker and more light-skinned than their parents and grandparents. Generally speaking, of course.

It's pretty weird, but quite noticeable. I doubt it's grooming, because we have groomed ourselves and copied western fashion since the early 20th century. But it seems like today, the new generation tends to look more 'naturally' western.

Maybe because town population is much bigger than before in MENA region and young people tend to spend more time inside in job there than outside like farmers or workers before. It affects tanning and developing wrinkles later.

I may be wrong. But I don't think the younger generation of West Asians look more European. Maybe Western Asians living in Western Europe who are mixed with Europeans look European.

Living in Russia since childhood, I still look very Caucasian and 90% will immediately understand that I am from the Caucasus. Especially if I have a beard.

And this applies to all my friends, Caucasian Chechens, Armenians, Ossetians, Dagestanis. They, too, because of their life in the European country, did not become like Europeans.

[Tauromachos]

You Always forget that you are genetically GYPSIE and not european.... ( Don't cry.. many scandinavians are also not european.. they are a mix between chinese and Neanderthal.... hungarias are a mix between brown gypsie from India and HUNS...)


Hungarian gypsies







Gypsies in Hungary..

Romani people in Hungary (also known as Hungarian Roma or Romani Hungarians; Hungarian: magyarországi romák or magyar cigányok) are Hungarian citizens of Romani descent. Various estimations have put the number of Romani people as high as 5–10 percent of the total population... if we include gypsies mixed local brown Magyars..... they could achieve 25-30% of total popolation

Gypsies and West Asians don't realy look alike

There is overlapps but they are far from being identical
