Ladies and gentlemen, I am just gonna state the obvious: we have OWD-ism in our midst. Eastern Turks are almost equally as "brown" as Levantines and Mesopotamians. And, most Europeans don't really see us any different from each other (this forum is proof and even you have came across such Europeans who think we all look Arabs). So just don't go there and have this embarrassing superiority complex, bub. It ain't working. Lmao.
It seems like you are equating Anatolid and Cap Meds with Turkish people? Who said it's a type belonging to Turks only? Um FYI, Assyrians, Kurds and Armenians have ancestry in the Anatolia region as well. So when I classify a few darker types as Anatolid, I'm not connoting that Turks are "brown".
South Asians, at least the 'whiter' ones posted here, do indeed look Anatolid (if you didn't know, that's Armenoid + Med). Not sure why there's a problem with that? That doesn't mean they "look Turkish" FFS. I'm not sure why you're so triggered by me using these eastern phenotypes on Asiatic peoples. So triggered that you started to antagonise me badly, when I actually thought you were one of the more amicable users in here. Not sure what went into you and why you changed drastically.
Besides, I think Greeks and Balkan people would also be 'offended' and put off by you as well for classifying every, even slightly, Med looking folk from Turkey and Iran as "Pontid". Honestly, it's gotten so repetitive. No matter how eastern shifted they look, they are always "Pontids". This reeks OWD-ism. But I don't hate you for it. I don't take classification seriously where I would smear people just because they use the wrong classifications. But we must get a life? Okay.
I have always said that Turks, especially those from the western portion, are the whitest west Asians due to their geography. So we can put that aside. With that being said, your photos are questionable. Are some of them at least taken in Ankara or any eastern cities of Turkey? If they're all snaps from Istanbul, then of course the individuals in them will be pretty white and therefore your post will be unfair. Just saying.
