PhysicsQED: @ pagan 9ja, I've seen some pretty pale and whitish looking Iranians just as I've seen some tanner and more olive skinned ones. Why are you under the impression that only the Persians in India represent the 'true' appearance of ancient Iranians? They could be slightly mixed with some darker Indian groups, after all. hahaha loooooooool i am not going to take that excuse. i have so many affluent Zoroastrian acquaintances. if there was ever a community that says that it doesnt mix, it is them and i would believe it. the Zoroastrians have such strict laws that mixing can result in eternal banishment from the community and ridiculment. the Zoroastrians went so far as "importing" fellow Zoroastrians from Iranian in order to preserve their lineage. no way they are mixed. and they are filthy rich. every family own huge palatial bunglows and 10 vintage cars and rolce royces. you think they would mix with lower-caste darker Indian groups and let the wealth flow out?? they were right-hnd men of the british during the days of the Empire. |

PAGAN 9JA: Well there were different types of Iranians in very ancient times: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Iranian_peoples So some of the different groups could have been slightly darker than others. This is an Iranian from Tehran: http://www.tissueeng.net/lab/people.php?cat=1 He's pretty much as dark as the Farsi guy you posted. Anyway, I don't think there's evidence of some kind of extensive mixing of Arabs and Iranians in Iran. 1 Like |

PhysicsQED: you are ignorant of the large scale r.ape, attrocities and massacre that took place after the arabian conquest. the shias progeniter , ali, was himself the son of a persian slave princess who was r.aped by the arabs. persian women were highly priced and sold across arabian territories for as cheap as 1000 dinars. |

PAGAN 9JA: Even if this is true (the part I'm skeptical of is about it being on a "large scale" that would be sufficient to alter their appearance that much) do you actually think that so called "pure" Iranians are originally darker than Arabs? Considering that they speak an Indo-European language and the fact that Iran gets cold enough that it snows in parts of Iran, does this really sound all that plausible to you? Looking at Khatami, Larijani, the various Ayatollahs etc., I'd think it would be easier to find "white" looking Iranians than "white" looking Arabs, even if many Iranians might look more like Ahmadinejad or the Farsi. |

PhysicsQED: NOT THEY ARE NOT DARKER! YOU DONT GET MY POINT! what i am TRYING to say is that climate and other factors do AFFECT the appearance of people. IRanians are supposed to be as you described but the full-blooded ones in INdia are gradually adapting their features to the weather and other conditions. it is a natural process! |

Black and Asian is probably the most exotic mix ever.... I know I said that before but they are. It's a common mix in the caribbean. Something about Ebony skin and oriental features...it's a beautiful thing. |
Re: Malagasy Peoples: A Beautiful Blend Of African And Asian Peoples by Nobody: 1:05am On Aug 17, 2012 |
The madagascar mix (african and polynesian) is actually ancient. Since WAY before the 1800s. I wonder where exactly in Africa the Africans who populate the island were from. |

Amerie is African American and Korean.... Now I know she is not Malagasy BUT it's kinda cool knowing there are entire nations filled with people like her. Not to say I prefer mixed people but it is rather fascinating to see what difference races can produce. I am just trying to get out of my box and explore different things. |
