Proximity to whiteness

[FortniteLover]

You are contradicting yourself and mixing two different things

How has all this stemmed from me saying somalis are featurist. I would even admit myself I'm featurist. I associated a narrow nose with whiteness and everyone disagreed. I never once said it's not a Somali feature too. Two things can be true at once.

The same person Saying bleaching is recent from this decade further proves proximity to whiteness. That has to be aligning yourself with western cadaan beauty standard. Darksin and long hair used to be the standard but probably now from foreign shows and inspiration bleaching is the craze

You guys are arguing over Somalis being featurist over stereotypical somali features, but if they were they wouldn't be hyping up every year the one football player that isn't even ethnic, but more exotic and mixed. That Djibouti player who first of all does look good, is getting hyped up but she dont look Somali in the slightest. Or like I said that Galmudug player 2 years ago

This is a big thing in India and derives from the caste system. Pakistanis rarely ever talk about caste, to be honest, although they have it. But there is a unique tribe in their mountains that can definitely produce very fair-skinned people and mixed phenotypes.

To caste obsessed Indians, white people are the next level because they maximize those aryan characteristics. It is no coincidence that Brahmins, the highest caste, have the highest level of steppe ancestry.

I have never met a Pakistani who considers themselves white. But I have heard of online Indians who support far-right racist groups and somehow think they are an exception when they look brown. It's because they are high caste in their society and think whites will recognize this somehow.

The Pashtuns are not Indo-Aryan but Iranian peoples. They do not have a caste. Those lighter-looking Pakistanis have related but also different backgrounds.

There are some Kalash who look white, and it is likely because they have high Steppe and genetic Iranian ancestry.

This is how the Kalash look genetically:

Their ancestors belong to at least three separate ancient civilizations:

IVC (Indus Valley).
BMAC (Bactria-Margiana Archeological Complex).
Scytho-Siberian region, West Asian mixture.
They also got high Steppe ancestry, which is from the Kazakhstan region of the Bronze Age.

They look unique because they have a distinct mixed background.
