Statistically a lot of the ME is comparable to Europe when it comes to eye colour and even skin pigmentation, while some parts of the ME have seen extra European influence like Mongoloids in Turkey or negroids in north Africa there are many parts of the ME and Asia that are basically caucasoid like Syria, parts of Iran, Lebanon and basically the Kurdistan region and of course a lot of Afghanistan.

Lookism. If MENA people were considered attractive they wouldn't be darkwashed

On the contrary! The Middle East or South-West Asia has been whitewashed, while the Southern Europeans have always been dark-washed. Sometimes the British and Irish people who are the world’s whitest folk ( since they have the lightest skin colour!) have been dark - washed by some ignorant people. Middle - Easterners could be part of the greater Caucasoid race, but they are not European by any means. They possess much higher ratios of black hair, almond - shaped dark eyes, swarthy skins, hooked - nosed types than Europeans. They are just non-European Caucasoids.

Middle easterners are not darkwashed, they are simply dark/brown. It's Europeans who are lighwashed.
Even northern Europeans are brown haired folk in vast majority.

Most Westerners probably picture Osama bin Laden when they hear about Middle Eastern people.

Depends. Gulf Arabs are probably comparable to the lightest 40% or so of Pakistanis (that still includes quite dark tones). Iranians and Levantines can range from Greek-like to Pakistani-like. Turks are lighter, but still have more wholesale 'brown' types than any European population, including Greeks.

Middle Easterners are people not just from Turkey or Syria or Lebanon, but also form the Gulf states and the eastern coast of the Red Sea. Both genetically and phenotypically and looking solely on skin-color people are darker than an average for Europe, so it's hardly strange for Europeans to picture Middle Easterners as darker.
