Afghan checking in.
To clear up confusion let me explain
Afghans are not that mixed, its just that within the borders there are many ethnicies.
The country is made up of Pashtun(50%), tajiks(30-35%), hazaras(10%) and the rest are basically Turkic minorities like Uzbeks.
The Pushtuns are actual Afghans, the words Afghan and Pashtun are synonymous, more Pashtuns live in Pakistan then Afghanistan, but that's because of a fake contract signed between Afghanistan and British India that would give those territories to India for 100 years, then India split up and those areas were given to pakis.
The Tajiks are actually ethnic Persians, the reason there is a divide is mainly because Afghan persians are sunni mulsims whereas Iranian Persians are shia Muslims, so King Durrani, who made modern Afghanistan, united those Persians under Afghanistan.
The Hazaras are the Chinese looking people you see, they are descendants of the mongol invasion be Genghis Khan. The name "Hazara" means onethousand, its given to them cuz apparently 1000 mongol soldiers and women stayed there.
The pictures with white looking Afghans are predominantly Pashtun and some Tajiks, this is not because of Alexander the great's invasion, as Pashtuns are one of the least mixed people and have never been conquered, and therefore Tajiks have also had less influence of outsiders.

That's not true, they get discriminated and we almost wiped out by Pashtuns because they follow shia Islam, the rest of Afghans follow Sunnis Islam.
About Afghans that look least white being oppressed is not true. It just so happens that white-olive skin is most aesthetic, small eyes are ugly and flat-small Chinese looking noses are undesirable... Obviously the Pashtuns and Persians don't want to intermarry them.

I'm not Afghan or anything but the purpose of this thread was just awareness....alot of people think Afghanistan is a bunch of dirty dark dirt farmers. It's much more than that. You're still a ******* though for trying to put people down ITT. Lol @ you saying we're trying to act white, while you pretty much proved Arabs are trying to do the same thing.

Sorry when i said conquered i mean as in against there will, whenever Afghans fought back they have won.
however there is still very little mixing so to answer you're question:
How come in Germanics have green, blue, brown, grey eyes?
how come they have blondes as well as brunettes or black haired people?
Some races just have genetics that are varied a lot. Others, mainly blacks, don't have that variety.

Persians were more civilised than arabs, and early arab civilisation owes much to persian civilisation (architecture, bureaucracy, science, mathematics) and many early arab scientists were indeed persian (al khawarizmi, avicenna, etc). The abbasid caliphate moved the arab capital to baghdad, close to the old sassanid capital of ctesiphon. Persia was arabised for 200 years up to around 900 when the saffarids re-persianised it.
The turks on the other hand were certainly NOT more civilised than the arabs, their control over arabs was purely military, just like the mongols were less civilised than the chinese but militarily superior and the yuan empire was ruled by a mongol khan. The turkish nomad's prowess lay in their numbers and mastering horsemanship on the steppe.
Also, The arabised people were semetic speakers, aramaic is closely related to arabic and aramaic speakers easily adopted arabic. Aryan languages like kurdish, persian, pashto, etc are completely different and adopting arabic was extremely difficult for these people. This also applies to turkik speakers, none of which adopted arabic.The Master said: A man cunning of word and smiling of face... ...is rarely benevolent

This but the thing is these afghans that look white and those that look indian/darker are actually from different tribes and while they may all be from the same country i suppose tribal identification > nationality. Something like how black americans stick togther and so do hispanics.
It also makes sense like this would you rather be mistaken for someone from italy or even northern europe or someone from india. Brb the person that comes from europe has his face plastered on modelling ads the world over while the indian looking dude appears on national geographic.

fuking idiots. every country with an army has sent their army over there at one time or another. and fuked their chit up.. whether it be rape, or just straight up sexy time with the enemy, the middle eastern people have mixed with other cultures. and seeing how closed off from the world they were for years and years, this is probably the first time theyve mixed with different races which is why thye look so distinct. id be like breeding a pure bred german with a pure bred native american or some chit. why else would those middle eastern people have paler skin and blue fuking eyes??? smaller noses??? squinty eyes???? freckles?? come the fuk on guys.
