    They hardly pass in Europe, the majority that do pass in Malta, Sicily, and as Ashkenazi Jews - possibly Southern Italians as well. The amount that pass in Greece, Albania, Portugal, etc. isn't even worth mentioning or voting for.

    Do they pass as North African? if so, which? What about South Asia -- exotic enough to pass there or no?

    In general they're too white to pass in north Africa or South Asia. There are maybe a couple that are negroid influenced enough to pass in Maghreb but none pass in India or Pakistan.

    I don't think there's a noticeable difference between them and other Levantines in looks. Everyone I've talked to said druze looks like other Levantines.

    There are plenty that would pass in Pakistan. Maybe not as Punjabi, but as Pashtun, Kashmiri, etc. I think a few pass in India, too.

    This. Westerners obsess over random ethnicities located in the Muslim world (Druze, Kalash, Yazidis, etc), and white wash the crap out of them. The aforementioned groups are pretty light, but it is not like they're Scandinavians stuck in the middle east like the way people make them sound. They look mostly similar to their neighbors.

    I guess they're that obsessed about race, huh? Geez, it's a pain in the ass.

    I think they look Western due to genetic isolation. Genetic isolation causes recessive genes to show up.
