    only some of them look south asian to me. Most look different in features mostly and quite a bit in skin tone. Though i would say many northern indian and pakistanis dont look that far off in skin tone from the average skin tone in the video. I'd say they differ more in features than skin tone.

    honestly compared to the people, the environment reminds me more of indian and pakistani urban regions. The cityscape looks exactly like many major crowded areas in south asia like delhi, karachi, lahore, etc.

    Both areas were heavily influenced by Persian architecture that’s why

    Iraqis are a mixed bunch.

    The dark ones in the southern half of the country are a mix of (Gulf) Arabian and southeastern Iranian - To me, they look more east African than South Asian because of their coarse Semitic/Hamitic features. The rest are a mishmash of Azeri, Turkmen, Jewish, Armenian, Kurdish, Mandean and probably some Assyrian. That Iraqi Arab with fair features would probably be Levantine, Kurdish or "Chaldean" (Assyrian Catholic from Nineveh Plains and Mosul - They're called "Maslawis" and are Arabicized Assyrians). Only the Assyrians, who are indigenous to northern Iraq, remained pure and homogenous. So it's easy to differentiate a full on Arab Iraqi (usually Muslim) from an Assyrian.

    Those dark, "Indian looking" ones have ancestry from the Gulf and the Arabian Peninsula, and would have some SSA in them as well. Again, they don't look Indian, but rather south Arabian/east African. They clearly have Semitic features.

    As long as they're Muzzies, Islam doesn't care, right?

    Troll thread! They are a bit similar to Western Pakis (who are not Indian by language or looks) but they all have zero Indid influence, which makes them even less passable...

    They don't look Indian though but heavily Arabian mixed. The thing is Arabians resemble Pakistanis (Punjabi/Sindhi) and North Indians allot when it comes to skin color.

    Iraqis on average literally look like a mix of Kurdish/Balochi/Persian/Assyrian/Chaldean and Arabian elements. And that is visible in most of their looks. Some small minority also have significant Afro_Arabian or Gypsy genes ancestry. But the average is like the groups mentioned above.

    This is why Iraqis have such a variety of looks which can pass from Balochistan/Pashtun all the way into the Levant and Arabia.

    These Iraqi Americans from Najaf represent well the average from South/Central iraq for example. You see all the elements I mentioned in their looks.

    Iraq at this point is basically Arabized Persia, Id argue. It’s not shocking the people look exotic.
