Tajiks are basically Pashtun-Mongoloid hybrids, Tajiks have good deal of diversity and google images whitewash tajiks by showing lightest pamiris , most Tajiks I have seen in Europe look like mexicans.

You might have seen Uzbeks from Tajikistan or Afghanistan. Or families mixed with the Uzbeks. The 'purest' Tajiks are still close to Kurds and Persians.

That's true, in Russia Tajiks (a few million guest workers) are probably the darkest group I've seen (blacks and South Asians are still uncommon in most places). They also show Mongoloid influence which is no surprise (many Uzbeks were recorded as Tajiks in Soviet times and switched to Persian).
However occasionally light Aryan types do occur. Like this one (I found him once on social media)

Iran, Iranians or Persians have much more 'Mongoloid' DNA than Kurds/Kurdistan. Turco-Persian history has been recorded.

But I do agree with the rest that Kurds don't have much of E.Eurasian auDNA. Most in Kurds is from the Scythians..

No way. Turkish Kurds are surely more 'mongoloid' than Persians somewhere in Fars.
Hadouken/Magnetic is a Zaza Kurd from Dersim, Turkey. Are the Zaza people Kurdish to you?

You might have seen Uzbeks from Tajikistan or Afghanistan. Or families mixed with the Uzbeks. The 'purest' Tajiks are still close to Kurds and Persians.

The only "Tajiks" lacking recent mongolid admixture are either Pamiri or Afghan Tajiks which are both not Tajiks in the strict sense. Pamiri orginally spoke East Iranic languages closer related to Pashto and Ossetian than to Persian or Kurdish and Afghan Tajiks are often just recently persianized Pashtuns especially the ones Living in eastern Afghanistan

I think Yaghnobi Tajiks are a good example of early eastern iranians.

His South Asian is rather high for a Badakshani or some less mongolid shifted Tajiks so he is probably a central Pashtun (Wardak, Logar,..) like Rukha. Central Pashtuns tend to be the most steppe shifted

Yeah, they are Sogdians, I believe. I would like to see more DNA results from Tajikistan, in particular from the Western Persian-speaking part. In the Northwestern and Westernmost parts of the country there is a lot of ethnic Uzbeks though. I guess purer Tajiks should be somewhere between Gharm and Kulob

I believe he is like 1/4 Pashtun but also part Badakhshani.
