If Turks are not white, what are they?

[Vessna]

I do not understand the point of this discussions about being white, brown purple or any other colour and personally do not give a fuck about them, neither do identify as white. However, just to spit the facts, when we first arrived in this forum people were claiming that Balkan Turks were kidnapped janissaries (feeling that this will continue in this thread after this comment) and we showed them this is not correct. Now, people started to intentionally underestimate the amount of them, and ignore completely if it is possible in the context.

Nevertheless, when taking only ethnic Turks into account and all other things considered, if you're claiming "Greeks are whiter than Turks", you must think once more. The native DNA base of Anatolian Turks literally lives in Greece now, consisting of at least 25% of the total population. Further, the phenotype transition in the native people of the two coast (see: Aegean Turks, Aegean Islanders, Peloponnesians) are not detectable by an average eye -except for Turanic blends over overlaping Mediterranean phenotypes. Further, Balkan Turkish population is more than their counterparts (in the context of phenotypes, in terms of numbers) from Central Greece and Northward. It is pretty much more diverse in Turks due to the elevated numbers, and the range is quite extended. However, in terms of averages, what makes Turkish phenotypes differ than Greeks is Central Asian elements present in Turks. Therefore, if you are so uncomfortable for the potential that Turks actually could identify as white or European or whatever, I may suggest your little ass that pushing Turks to further Asia could make more sense.

If you are not into objective commentary and prefer clownish actions, I may recommend visiting a mental hospital as people's look and/or how do they identify is not your business. So make a choice, are you a brainwashed clown or an observer for scientific/entertainment purposes?

I have been stating this in this forum because I do not like politically brainwashed comments which hides agendas under. Go fucking make a trip of Athens - Ankara - Beirut - Tahran, if you wish. Then you can speak.

They are like latinos: a racial mishmash.

What do you mean? There is virtually no ssa in Turkey, they are caucasoid with minor mongoloid.

Not quite: they lack SSA for starters, and even their East Asian is somewhat less.

So a German/Japanese person is not considered mixed cuz they got no black? I swear sometimes the logic (or lack thereof) of some members here truly amaze me.

But we are talking about whole populations here, not just random individuals. The point is that Turks' genetics and phenotypes, while certainly varied, are hardly as mixed as those of Brazilians and Colombians.

That is a 50/50 mix, what part of minor did you not understand?

I mean that Turks are not as genetically or phenotypically varied as Latin Americans, and it is preposterous to claim they are.
